on the land

As my music extends the night
She sends me honestly and she thrills my sight
If her dancing can't hold off daylight
I'll challenge the sun rising

on the other side 
to hear my darlin' sing

Chorus

Yonder come my true love, 
how do you reckon I know? 
I can tell her by her apron strings 
tied up in

like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on Smokey Mountain
Playing guitar in a one man band

[Verse]

Over the mountains I wander
Down to find the fountains surrounded by water
Over the peaks tall, down by the yonder
Found the pounds

to become replacer
To Zordon inside the tube, I was destined to be the face of
A brand new warrior race of
People with special gifts, who are super simply by

when they sword-fought weightless in the bamboo
with a purity of heart that transcends gravity
leaping off the mountain into ambiguity
falling slow

Bear witness, I'm

Our leaders never led us
They tied us up on strings
Left hanging in the dark
While they're maneuvering
Open your third eye
Like the raven you'll see

again
I was in the Maybach gripping the stem
Snipped the banjo string, roamed around Northern Cambodia with an open incision
They told me I wouldn't

of houses, sleeping on the couches
Now every outfit I got on a band and I don't doubt it
Now I'm just trynna run them digits up, I need thousands
Vision never

to victory true Lord

Got a shoe string for my supper
And a suitcase full of rhymes
Suns on hold and a band of gold
And I'm looking at hard times have mercy

to get richer
See wealth's a social construct, and I'm a solid kisser
They call me the mountain man (yup)
I'm a human blunt-blowing beer can yup
Always

planted
Finding my escape route, kicks not landed
Boys by my side, these strings are tandem

Weapons in bars, it's danger I hand em
Risky rollin dice, that

to give up
You repeatedly suck
You in the league of a duck
You a measly schmuck
If you was speedily struck by a GMC truck
I wouldn't give one flying

the bad things flowing by
Back then used to stay inside
Delete social say goodbye
Honestly don't want to try
Solitude that's what I love
Isolated is a dub

No estoy esposado a otro yo
No puedo esposar a otro yo
No puedo esposar a otro yo

VVS diamonds
Surround by

furry pants
War paint, circling a duralog
Boar face, devil by his side like a service dog
Schlock purist, watch the block burneth
One o'clock prophets

the king
Versatile to the table, man that's what I bring
Patience running thin, that shit is hanging by a string
I just pray to God that all my sins won't

Raised by parents that worked on crops
That drop like stocks in Salvador
Born in a city that kills cops and pop one another
Hits the core
In Houston

grand secretary then
He wrote "Big Rock Candy
Mountain" and "Hallelujah, i'm a Bum"
Got together a little band
T-Bone Slim and a tuba garbage can lid
They

strings
He told me if I haven't learned by now
I should try other things
I'm just a boy from South Florida
Never touched a guitar
And then I moved

backdoor deals and therapy
The only callous I've grown is in my mind
I wish I was a tradesman
Playin' with some tuned up tired string band
Somewhere out

tomorrow
Pull on my string like banjo
I used to trap out the bando
I used to smoke at the park after school
If we see the police then we ran home
Got the fan

I went out to the club last night
Girls was looking right
One pass by me
I said this straight to her face...

Twenty dollars and a tall glass
Lips,
