------
I'm so high at 7:08
I ain't ever been better, I ain't ever been late
Up in the woods in the San Bernadines
Just me and my girl we were livin that dream
Burn that bark in the potbelly stove
Cook it up good and let the pan soak
Walking by the stream with your bathing suit on
I could never forget when you sang me that song

You sang a song
And I sang along

Turned the gas on before the pilot light
Opened that door set your hair on fire
Shaved your head clean and it started growin but
You said you liked it better than your old haircut
Reel to reel and a hi-fi deck
A microphone, one two mic check
Sitting by the fire with your sweater on
I could never forget when you sang me that song

You sang a song
And I sang along

Running down the hill with no shoes on
Neighbor's got a bear with a bullseye painted on

You sang a song
And I sang along

Terrified (from the album, Maybe Somewhere North)

Disclaimer: I am not a guitarist. The guitarist in da house was fast asleep at 3am when I recorded this so please excuse the no-so-competent guitar playing. The song is still work-in-progress.

Work-in-progress: I believe

First track coming back to recording anything in a few years. Giving the gear a good ol' warm up.
