Sorrow Bound

Travelling musician currently trapped in a cabin by COVID.

[sorrowboundband]

This is a song I wrote for a person who told me they wanted to travel with me then went radiosilent for the better part of a year and, because of this person's personality, I had no way of knowin what the deal was or if they were okay or not and generally feelin like everyone in my life system was on shaky ground.

Lyrics:

darlin, no one's seen you for six or seven months

an' darlin, no one knows if you're dead or just don't wanna be found

an' oh, neither would surprise me think I'm sinkin down

an' all, of my friends are either dead, in jail, or usin' again

an' no one, said this life was gonna be easy

an' oh

A song about livin' and not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics:

Everyone I've ever known Had a hole upon their soul That emptiness makes you old And never once did it heal

So run, my child, run away There's time enough in the day To feel the sun and play It wont last forever, child, and neither will we

And the whip poor will Sings to you, in your dreams And your thoughts, they fall like autumn leaves But the dew, it clings like grief

So run, my child, run away There's time enough in the day To feel the sun and play It won’t last forever, child, and neither will we

As the sun sinks below the sky The light fades out then dies Neither wolf nor fawn nor huntsmen cry For in the fertile darkness mother lies

So run, my child, run away There is time enough in the day To feel the sun and play It won’t last forever, child, and neither will we

Lyrics:

I got a secret don't tell nobody nobody's got to know

I haven't been sleepin no I haven't can't remember the last night

and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes

we're goin to a party of course you're invited no you can't ever leave

we're gonna be dreamin gonna be singin til the mornin light come through the window

and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes

the world keeps spinnin here I'm sittin wonderin where to go

yesterday's over tomorrow may be sober for now I'm comin down

and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes

I've had a secret God, I wanna tell it somebody's got to know

I'm makin some changes do some rearrangin for some people I used to know

and now I know I've come this far got miles to go miles to go

White Freightliner Blues (cover) | Townes Van Zandt 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imma be honest, the first time I heard this song was when my road dog Jaylin played it. But I love it and I love Townes and I play it a lil different than Jaylin so I don't feel bad about makin' this video.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics (the way I sing it):

I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

New Mexico ain't bad, Lord people there they treat me fine New Mexico ain't bad, Lord people there they treat me fine White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

Bad news from Houston, half my friend are dyin' bad news from Houston, half my friends are dyin' White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

Well, Lord gonna ramble, til' I get back from where I come said, Lord gonna ramble, til' I get back from where I come White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind? White freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

404 (cover) | Lost Dog Street Band | Aaron Walker

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I learned this one on the road. My friends hate it because every oogle seems to know it and they've heard it 1000 times, but I fucking love singing this song on the streets. The last time I went busking before quarantine, I played it for some old mountain dudes in downtown Lawrenceburg, TN. The "I broke my head over my good friend's head" line made him smile and that made me food real good. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics (the way I sing it):

I sold my banjo for bag of dope and a pitcher of beer at the 404 and I'm sittin' here and I'm cryin'

I broke my hand over my good friend's head now it's, two weeks later in a hospital bed and that curse will follow you

and oooo, I won't hurt you anymore I'll just walk right out that door

Well I was lost and so was she she taught me to love, to feel and breathe her name was Daisy, Daisy

Five states ago I was a different man now I've done some things that you may resent but I don't think you'll mind

and oooo, I won't hurt you anymore I'll just walk right out that door

Well I pawned my banjo for a bag of dope pitcher of beer at the 404 and I'm sittin' here and I'm cryin' and oooo, I won't hurt you anymore I'll just walk right out that door.

Rising Tide (original) | Aaron Walker 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wrote this song during the 2019 Winter Solstice in Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest. I felt at the time that there was something happening in the zeitgeist. That some great spiritual judgement was coming for my generation and especially my travelling friends.

It's taken on a kind of eerie meaning in light of the recent #COVID19 outbreak.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

Lies I've told and lies I've sought let em' lie, they're all I've got And everything comes to an end even love and dearest friends God gives life and takes away the smallest joy in everything but do not despair my friend even pain come to an end even pain come to an end

For all the things we set aside: family, jobs, and narrow lives What is it that we have earned? petty freedom easily burns in the pyre of our soul to the kingdom never goes so dance in the flames my friend they all burn out in the end they all burn out in the end

They're comin' now with spades in hand to bury all that we have said you only can bring what is true we're shedding all that we knew so come my friend now's the time to the river we shall hide and drink from the rising tide fill your cup and save your hide fill your cup and save your hide

Lyrics (the way I sing it):

Well I got a letter this morning how you recon it read? said "the gal you love is dead." got a letter this morning how you recon it read? sayin' "hurry, hurry the gal you love is..."

Well, I packed up my suitcase took off down the road when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board packed up my suitcase took off down the road when I got there she was layin' on a coolin'...

Looked like ten thousand, child people standin' round the buryin' ground didn't know that I loved her til' they begin to let her down looked like ten thousand standin' on the burying ground didn't know that I loved her they began to let her...

Well, it's so hard to love someone that don't love you so hard to love someone that don't love you don't look like satisfaction don't care what you do

Well, I woke up this mornin' child the break of day just huggin' the pillow where she used to lay woke up this mornin' round the break of day just huggin' the pillow where she used to lay

Lyrics (the way I sing it):

Well my name, it is Lee I'm a yegg, and a thief I picked every lock, this side of hell an' I'm doin' swell but lordy lordy knows, only time will tell

Where I sleep, I don't care like to smoke, like to swear an' I can drink, any rounder to his knees another whiskey please shoot a ten dollar piece at a thousand feet

When I make, my way back few more miles, down the track I see my lady, well she smiles at me a little bumblebee well she's sweet like a' honey but she sure can sting

Through the rain, an' the snow imma book, a telo by a pull, of silver in my jeans and a couple of dreams I can pull us all the way down to New Orleans

I got drunk, I got loud I got kicked, out of town Sheriff said, "We don't want your kind around here" "Do I make that clear?" so I went to speak with the engineer

I'm in need, of a train take me back, where I came make it long, fast, and let her roll and let the whistle blow so every hot weather tramp knows when to go

“Halfway Out the Door” original song by Aaron Walker for the GemsInTheRough contest.

Lyrics:

Nothin' lasts long in this world so darlin, hold me tight cause I'm already halfway out the door and I saw you, out one day you were returnin' books, to the library but I was too ashamed to call your name so I walk past these memories in time with death, restin on my mind and i'll smother the flames with whiskey n wine oh I'll rest easy, when I've spent my last dime and if I, was a better man I'd have already asked for your hand but my soul is bound to travel this land and I'm already halfway out the door  and I'm already halfway out the door
