Lonesome Grove (2017)

I've got a fugitive mindset

No time to rest, no time to mind

Cause I've got dogs on my heels and they won't stop in this life

Faster still, as the years drag on and I won't be able to outrun them long

But that's ok

Because a life of running wears a body to the bone

So you can scatter my pieces, spread some salt in the ground

Make sure that this spirit stays down for the count

No more restless possession for me

And don't mark them

Leave that whiskey grove lay

Don't let my name rouse the winds here

anymore

Better that it fade away
