Campfire (4-Track Demo)

Oh, my, my
Oh, I guess
That I've done my time, now, I've laid to rest
There's a campfire inside my soul
And it billows

And the sky was a thousand years old
Always kept time in my back pocket
No man, goddamn, came to take my soul
Shut the door, then lock it

And where have all of my friends gone?
And where did all of my friends go?
And where have all of my friends gone?
They billow

Thought that I saw Jessi, she was sitting in a crowd
Thought that I saw Jessi, then I got to feeling proud
To ever have known someone so pretty and so sweet
Who every time she sang a song it'd sweep me off me feet

But, oh, my, my
Oh, I guess
That she did her time, now she's laid to rest
There's a campfire inside her soul
Still billows

I walked to town, devil one side of me
Held by an Angel put poems inside of me
Down to my mouth said, "Won't you recite to me," okay
Every first Wednesday, there goes that sound again

Sun's going down and she's a sundowner
Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm
Give me your palm, and I'll sing you a song
Young kids, smoke cigarettes, out on the avenue

Sun's going down so you might as well have a few
Hey, who are you? Did you hear the news?
Anthony's dead, and Poor Richard too
They billow, they billow, and it makes me nervous

They whittled a fiddle from wood in our service
Now, that it's dusk, kids scatter the avenue
Hey, who are you? I'm a sundowner too
Woo!
