about

I wrote this song about a good friend leaving. Not sure if any of you know him, but you may.

lyrics

I come from down South and smell of the Tobacco leaves
I’ll sing you songs of murderous lust, and howl if you please
I thought that this would be home forever, and my life was in a sling
But then I met this girl and that changed everything
She was just pixels when we met just an image on a screen
I was a man long forgotten when she first spoke to me
And every night I hold her if only in my dreams
So I’m goin up North where my true love waits for me

I speak with a twang and I curse like a mad Millionaire
And I sing as the Devil would sing, and the people they stop and stare
I can play the Guitar if the money is right you see
But nothing is keeping me here, so I must spread my wings
I may not know where I’m going or what may come to be
I’ve been known to make bad decisions many times in life you see
But there’s a voice deep in my heart telling me to pick up and leave
I’m goin up North where my true love waits for me

So I’m leaving the only world I know and I’ll fly to the unknown
Yeah I guess I’ll learn to take chances and just play it as I go
And I ain’t got a job, I ain’t got much money to spend
But this girl has stolen my heart, and I must take it back my friend
I swear that I’ll miss my friends and my family
And my fears run dark and deep as a Captain lost at Sea
But there’s nothing else in this world more beautiful than she
I’m goin up North where my true love waits for me
