Easy Rider

Don't worry mama
I drive real slow these days
When I'm coasting on the old familiar ways
Why I'm living out the best of all of my days
So why, why do I piss it away?
I'm in no hurry, mama
I've got a real kind of hope for these days
Thats why I'm ghosting anyone who gets in our way
And I won't regret the past
Or live in the mistakes that I have made
No, I'm gonna live for today
It's all we've got anyway
I'm your easy rider
Your precious cargo is safe with me
I'm your easy rider
And our troubles, baby, will fade with ease
Why do I piss it away?
Now and then I'll find a back road
We can park in the shade of an old oak tree (uh huh)
Along some fields of sweet tobacco
Just like the place where you married me
And would you do it again?
'Cause I'm your easy rider
Your precious cargo is safe with me
Yes, I'm your easy rider
Our troubles, baby, will fade with ease
Don't worry, mama
I drive real slow these days

Gardener's Blues
03:10
|

Red from the ivy, stung by the bees
I spent the whole summer down on my knees
Spade in my hand and heart on my sleeve
I spent the whole summer down on my knees
I beat back the jungle, the vines and the reeds
I spent the whole summer hackin' at the weeds
Smilin' I'll strangle them out
Smilin' I'll bleed
I spent the whole summer hacking' at the weeds
All it takes is one idle day
They will swallow you up where you lay
When I am dead, let me sleep
With the honeysuckle vines
The ironweed and the dandelion
Red from the ivy, stung by the bees
I spent the whole summer down on my knees
Spade in my hand and heart on my sleeve
I spent the whole summer down on my knees
I spent the whole summer

Floating Away
04:16
|

Floating away like love letters taken by a flood
When he sent the rain to wash away the city
We were building on the garden of an angry god
You used to say that discovering me was like a drug
Every day a little more to keep you hanging on
You never thought you'd run out of stuff
I'm letting go, now
I become water
I hope we end up in the same sea
But it's not up to me
We want to believe that there is a reason
To each thing, a season
Sunshine and rain
Love, death, and pain
And now you wanna plant flowers
And read your book of hours
You wanna walk around with Jesus
Like it isn't some disease that you've been born into
I saw the fracture lines
In the plaster on the bedroom wall
Like the branches of the family
To embrace me or to hang me
How could I ever hope to mend them all
And now you wanna plant flowers
I'm letting go, now
I become water
I hope we end up in the same sea
But it's not up to me alone
We want to believe there is a reason
To each thing, a season
Sunshine and rain
Love, death, and pain
Floating away

Without You
03:57
|
|||
I wish that I could take that look you gave me
To the grave, and it would save me
But the memory is fading even now
Of you standing in the summer rain
And my life forever changed
Though I've called it back again, again, again
'Cause I don't want to leave this place without you
I don't want to leave you here alone
I don't want to leave this place without you
I don't want to leave this place alone
The sirens in my ears ring louder every year
And they call me to the beach when I'm alone
They will be with me when the crowds have gone away
So won't you stay?
'Cause I don't want to leave this place without you
I don't want to leave you here alone
I don't want to leave this place without you
But everybody leaves this place alone
Alone is how we came here and alone we cried
When they pried us from our lonely mothers hands
In the stolen lands when somehow we became friends
If there is one life, or a thousand more to see
Of joy and suffering
This one is but a dream
And I don't want to leave this place without you
I don't want to leave you here alone
I don't want to leave this place without you
But everybody leaves this place alone
Everybody leaves this place alone

Warm afternoon in autumn
My undeserved prize
Couldn't tell you how I got 'em
Two girls with hazel eyes
Two girls with hazel eyes
In the garden, dresses flowin'
Warm breeze across their thighs
And the restless Cocksomb blowin'
Two girls with hazel eyes
Two girls with hazel eyes
Must be all them good deeds I done
Late at night, lord
Must be all them fair fights I won
Ain't that right, lord?
Warm afternoon in winter
Sunshine to my surprise
In the dark heart of this sinner
Two girls with hazel eyes
Two girls with hazel eyes
Two girls with hazel eyes
Two girls with hazel eyes

Better Version Of You
05:07
|
|||
I hope you know you're beautiful
That's why I tell you all the time
It's not 'cause I want you to fall
For some foolish love like mine
Don't let me put my arms around you
I'll only drag you down
My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town
Don't let me pin my hopes upon you
Don't let me drag you around the way I do
Go and be a better version of you
You don't want the same life all the time
You'd like to be reborn each morn
And if you need to breathe, It's not a crime
I'll still be here to reach for, in these storms
But don't let me put my arms around you
I'll only drag you down
My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town
Don't let me lay my burdens on you
And there was no better way than what I felt yesterday
But there is no part of you I wouldn't try to unscrew, if you let me
Just to see inside of you
And when the sunrise found us
I thought I saw another life
Some other version of you
One where you became my inspiration, drive
Compassion, sense of humor, self, and fashion
See how quickly these things happen
Don't let it happen to me, don't let it happen to you
Don't let me put my arms around you
I'll only drag you down
My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town
Don't let me pin my hopes upon you
Don't let me drag you around the way I do
Go and be a better version of
Go and be a brighter light to shine through
Go and be a better version of you, of you, of you

Please love me, I'm drowning in an ocean of tears
Pulled down by the weight of a thousand fears
Won't you give me your hand, babe
Before I disappear
Please love me, I'm drowning in an ocean of tears
Darling, I know a love like ours is so very hard to find
And yet it's harder still to keep afloat
In the river of time
And if we should drift apart
as lovers often do
I'll see you on the shores of eternity's ocean
Darling, I'll be waiting there for you
Please love me, I'm drowning
Such visions I see
The kind of sorrow is crowning
From the womb of misery
While your sweetness is fading
Fast from my memory
Please love me, I'm drowning
Careful you don't drown with me
Please love me, I'm drowning
Careful you don't drown with me

Lonesome Road
04:20
|
|||
I've been on a lonesome road
Just to see how far it goes
If it even ends-who knows
Learning as it bends to and fro
And a storm on the horizon grows
Is it all a fantasy?
Or if it is what I'm meant to be
And what is there besides, of me
Turning with the tides
Floating on the breeze
'Til a storm cloud breaks inside of me
Will you remain my soft companion
When the days turn into weeks
Across the rivers and the canyons
I will drive so you can sleep
I've been on a lonesome road
To anywhere the trade winds blow
Here and then away again
Would that I could stay, my friend
But my shadow grows behind me
And my rhythm slows
'Til you find me in the kind of places trouble goes
And if the sun should rise behind me
How the cracks will show
Oh no

Dark Hours
04:59

There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
Don’t be afraid
My love for you will carry me through space
Just to see your face
When I was a little child, running
I had long blond hair and not a care
And I might never had grown jaded
If you had been my friend
We could have played pretend
And there was never anybody else I would have let inside
They never held a candle up to you
I only wish you knew
‘Cause there will be dark hours in all lives
There will be dark hours in all lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
Don’t be afraid
My love for you could carry me through flames
And I’d return unscathed
No matter what manner of demon
Comes scratching at our door
Dragging it’s belly ‘cross the floor
There is nothing in this cold world or any other
That could ever keep us from each other
And when the cities that I build
Stand crumbling on the hill
I’ll remember what you said in your sleep
When dark hours fall on me
And as they sink into the sane
We can watch them, hand in hand
You are the sun and the moon to me
And there will be dark hours in all lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
Such dark hours in our lives
There will be dark hours in our lives
Don’t be afraid
My love for you will carry me through space

Forever Home
04:11
|
|||
You're my forever home
That's what you are
No matter where I've gone
I'm never so far away
That I'm more than a day from you
And if you ask me to
I can turn the ship around
Or I can bring the curtain down
'Cause you're my forever home
I think I've always known
You bought me my Stylophone
And you call me when I'm alone
But if you should ever find
There's a better home for you
I would burn it all to the ground
So you could start anew
That's what I'll do for you
You're my forever home
Please let me in
I know that I've been wrong
But I know the past is gone
And the love that remains is true
But if you want me to
I can fade into your past
All you've got to do is ask
But you're my forever home
I think I've always known
As long as I'm blood and bone
I'll always come home to you
But if you should ever find
There's a better home for you
I would burn it all to the ground
So you could start anew
That's what I'll do for you
My forever home
Oh, my forever home

Shadwick Wilde Louisville, Kentucky
Rejecting the constrictions of genre, Shadwick Wilde’s songs touch each other’s edges, but each brings its own distinct vision, strung together by the common thread of Wilde’s muscular poetry, emotive vocals, and unique style of upside-down, left-handed guitar playing. ... more
