Well I'm up in the mornin for a wake n' bake,
sittin round waitin for the day to break,
I try and tell myself that it wasn't a mistake,
but the actions on my mind,
yeah the actions on my mind,
I said the actions on my mind,
I try and pick myself up off my bedroom floor,
and get m'self goin out my back door,
I'd go down to the liquor store,
if only I had a ride,
if only I had a ride,
if only I had a ride,
now my heart is cold in great despair,
gotta be careful with what I share,
be a real man and grow a real pair,
if only I had the time,
if only I had the time,
if only I had the time,
I'm up in the mountains in the winter snow,
and I'm out in the sun in ol' Pueblo,
wonderin where'd all my money go,
I thought I still had a dime,
I thought I still had a dime,
I could swear I had a dime,
or a nickel, or a penny, or somethin in my pocket,
and all these days of my youth spent sittin around,
I'm askin myself why I'm always down,
instead of gettin up and movin cross the ground,
I watch the time go flyin,
I watch the time go flyin,
I just watch the time fly by,
meanwhile, all these people ain't got no homes,
and everybodies scared of being left alone,
they're all clingin onto their new cellphones,
hopin to hear from friends,
yeah they're hopin to hear from old friends,
hell, they're hopin to hear from anybody
and myself I cannot make the rent,
I'm better off livin in a one man tent,
little bit of money I had I spent,
on whiskey, weed, and wine,
on cigarettes, and fryin,
on women that leave me cryin,
on things that ain't worth buyin,
on things that ain't worth buyin,
on things that ain't
on things that ain't
on things that ain't
no you know they ain't worth buyin
The first time I saw Taylor his songs brought a tear to my eye. Okay, so It was a bunch of tears streaming down my face. Also, check out his band TK and the Holy Know Nothings if you feel like dancin. Jordan Smart
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
