Old Town Blues - Acoustic
To my aching glow
You got a hold of me now
How you rendered slow
But harder than hell to my ground
I'm looking for my old man's shoes
I'm kicking off these old town blues
And don't leave me here
'Cause I just won't survive
There's a raven hovering
He's a-keeping me alive
I've known him all my life
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
Like the shadow of a carving knife
Not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
Hey
I can't seem to move
And I'm paralysed
I'm chocking on my holy mood
'Cause I wanna be an old man too
I wanna be a role model to my kids
I wanna teach them how to love
But you gotta show me how to live
And we're kicking off easy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Oh, no, no
Yeah
You got a hold of me now
How you rendered slow
But harder than hell to my ground
I'm looking for my old man's shoes
I'm kicking off these old town blues
And don't leave me here
'Cause I just won't survive
There's a raven hovering
He's a-keeping me alive
I've known him all my life
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
Like the shadow of a carving knife
Not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
Hey
I can't seem to move
And I'm paralysed
I'm chocking on my holy mood
'Cause I wanna be an old man too
I wanna be a role model to my kids
I wanna teach them how to love
But you gotta show me how to live
And we're kicking off easy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Oh, no, no
Yeah
