Stayed There

Lyrics

I hear thunder in the canyon Keep an ear to the ground Like shot out from a cannon This new life I found Forgotten then abandoned Once the deal went down I hit the ground running And I stayed there CHORUS I stayed there Stayed there I stayed there stayed there On my side of the mountain You keep your head down Cause trouble comes in all directions For thirty days and counting You get money when I'm found I dug myself a hole And I stayed there CHORUS Broken down and missing What I used to call home I wake up now I listen For the hellhounds on my trail A soldier on a mission Another wanted man I'll find the promised land And I'll stay there CHORUS

Description

Short Song Description: Continuing to experiment with different guitar sounds, this song developed over an afternoon playing in open G tuning. Something about the dissonance in the chord structure felt edgy and dangerous.

Story Behind the Song: Guy-on-the-lam after the deal went bad...
