about

I borrowed Uncle Ben's banjo & picked it like a guitar for a few weeks. I think I just wrote this song on whatever random tuning it was in when he lent it to me. This one came together in the studio & it's the only original song we have never performed live. Maybe I will finally transcribe it to canjo sometime soon!

lyrics

Piloting with steady palms,
We wind down roads that rarely calm,
on and on into the infinite unknown.
There's a long long road ahead my friend don't go it alone.
We've lost the map,
the route has changed,
the words are here just rearranged,
the road less traveled don't go down so easy.
It's a chance that's yours to take
don't throw it away,
don't throw it away.

My blistered hands can't get a grip
on all the times we let it slip,
we're passing time as if we age like wine.
It's a long long road ahead my friend you've got the time.
Like rubber bands we bend back to
the ones we love that we feel true
yeah whether we like it or not.
It's a chance that's yours to take
don't throw it away
don't throw it away

You will hunt and you will chase
to build the mind that you've erased.
Your monuments have been defaced,
your memories have been replaced.
& you, yeah you know where you belong.
