Boy & Bear – Old Town Blues lyrics
[Verse 1]
To my aching glow
You got a hold of me now
How you rendered slow
But harder than hell to my ground
[Chorus 1]
I'm looking for my old mans' shoes
I'm kicking off these old town blues
[Verse 2]
Don't leave me here
'Cause I just won't survive
There's a raven hovering
But he's a-keeping me alive
[Chorus 3]
I've known him all my life
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
But like the shadow of a carving knife
He's not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
[Verse 3]
Hey
Oh, I can't seem to move
I'm paralysed
I'm choking on my holy mood
[Outro]
'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, no, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
No, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah...
Yeah
Oh, no
Yeah...
To my aching glow
You got a hold of me now
How you rendered slow
But harder than hell to my ground
[Chorus 1]
I'm looking for my old mans' shoes
I'm kicking off these old town blues
[Verse 2]
Don't leave me here
'Cause I just won't survive
There's a raven hovering
But he's a-keeping me alive
[Chorus 3]
I've known him all my life
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
But like the shadow of a carving knife
He's not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
[Verse 3]
Hey
Oh, I can't seem to move
I'm paralysed
I'm choking on my holy mood
[Outro]
'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, no, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
No, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah...
Yeah
Oh, no
Yeah...
