about
first verse i wrote about the first time i saw rustic overtones in concert (they originally wrote/performed "scarecrow"). I was 15 and went with my college brother and before the concert i drank alcohol for the first time. Second verse is for Johnny Cash.
i don't really like how this song came out and i'm not a huge fan of the song either, at least not anymore. ironically enough, the song is supposed to be about how much i love music.
lyrics
and if the roof had caved in that night
i would have died a happy boy
hear the trumpets blowing through the sound
of a guitar strummed with joy
and my father would pray almost every day
cuz he knew that life gets cold
but the music always sounded so wonderful
that i swore i'd never grow old
but you can't keep the magic alive for all time
or give bones to a dream with a song
you best grip the hand of the muse when she comes by
moments they don't last so long
chorus:
minstrels, poets, life as we know it
is dying for a song
so pen some stanzas that turn us to dancers
and a rhythm that moves it along
wake up mr. deadman
won't you dig up your guitar
and walk the line just one more time
through the burning lake of fire
cuz heaven is not your home,
you're just passing through
there's a time for death and to resurrect
to fall in love and to sing the blues
chorus:
