about

This is the only song not from 2018 or 2019. I went to the way back archives and found this one that fits in perfect with our subject matter...Folked Up!

lyrics

He was born in the city
Between people and machines
He was raised up on the T.V.
By those pictures on the screen
It was sometime in the 60s
His old man went to war
And when that old man
When he came back
His mama wouldn't see him any more
So she took them
Him and his sister
One was two the other four
They drove off into the suburbs
You take your heart and slam the door

Chorus
But he loved to swing that bat
Though he rarely hit the ball
If it's hard to reach him these days
He hears voices
And they hate him
While they smile to his face

He gave up all the sports for a guitar full of songs
And he later hit the highway full of dotted lines and rolled along
There were bad nights and there were good nights
There was no one and there were crowds
But he gave them all that he had and let them take the bow

Chorus

There's a place for all the hunted
Those who bleed by circumstance
Where the winners are the losers
Where the crippled do the dance

Chorus
