New song !!!!!!

Lyrics:
Bare are the bones there
Bare is the land
You grew up old there
Under a heavy hand

You’ve moved around now
Been almost eighteen years
So why’s it when you speak of home
It almost comes out thru tears?

And you’ll blend all the fruit into smoothies
And you’ll crush all the grapes into wine
But you can’t remember where you were when you first heard that 
Somebody you knew died

Tried out the girlfriend thing
It never really fell in line
Talked to a therapist
Made you feel better for a time

Now this here is tricky cuz you
Don’t know if you wanna change
You’re used to your neuroses
Plus, what else should you do?
Take a bath? Go touch grass? Act your age?

So you’ll just blend all your fruit into smoothies
And you’ll crush all your grapes into wine
Still can’t remember where you were when you first heard that 
Somebody you knew died

And now you’re never quite relaxing
Often "up on the stand" in your mind
Cuz they say you didn’t quite react right when you heard that 
Someone you once knew died

And it’s a rocky hill to die upon but
You reserve the right
To live out the rest of your existence
In and out of freeze, fight, or flight
To live out the rest of your existence
In and out of freeze, fight, or flight

Shapenote singing is a tradition developed in the late 1700's and early 1800's that helped everyday people sing music even if they couldn't sight-read standard musical notation. Shapenote and the Sacred Harp songbook are still allowing people to share a musical experience until this day. Learn more about this tradition from Anne Heider, Robert from the Chicago Shapenote Singers, and Ruth Reveal.

You can learn more about Shapenote, the Sacred Harp, and find singings in your area at http://fasola.org.

Martha Lee Bohacz, my mother, told me she wrote this country gospel song sometime in the 1960s. She performed it many times live at her church, Emmanuel Bible Church in Berwyn, Illinois, plus other places. She often performed with my dad Emilian Anthony Bohacz and their band "Gospel Truth Singers." Dad played harmonica in the band but not on this recording. I uploaded her track to my SoundCloud account because she didn't have an account of her own. If you'd like more music from "Gospel Truth Singers" you can download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/os9izpu5wshwl102ibj75/h?dl=0&rlkey=wpsxvzpsdd57i2yntwhlumlxv
