lyrics
Found a roof overhead under the Orange Street bridge
As I waited out the rain from a northern wind
And the moon and the lights made the street shine so wild
It turned back into the city that I knew as a child
When we'd pass through on our way back to Arlee
In a beat up '57 just the old man and me
Now I've grown old and broken on these shining streets
Where the streams of white faces don't seem to see me
Count the cracks in the sidewalk as I walk to a park
A piece of ground to lay on just before it gets dark
But each day I wake up in the morning freeze
Under the boot heels of the city police
Not long ago I was a young man at war
Deployed in Vietnam with the USM Corps
Through shrapnel and napalm I fought without fear
For the lives of the people who don't want me here
My body made it back to the rez in one piece
But my brain was twisted up with PTSD
Like photos tacked on to the lids of my eyes
Blooms of orange fire in faraway skies
I never got better and the work never came
My name on waiting lists at the goddamned VA
But tonight these streets have been kinder to me
So I'll spend a little more on that midshelf whiskey
History may laugh as it recounts the days
Of drunk old Indian man full of anger and shame
But I walk with my dignity I walk with my pride
To keep visibility 'neath the night's blooming lights
This New Haven duo write bright and emotionally resonant folk music where sweeping strings elevate gorgeous melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2021
True Grit: The drench of studio reverb can't hide Miner's soulful country voice-- equal parts Lucinda Williams, Patsy Cline with a touch of Margo Timmons. A hook worthy of being played on late nite WSM-AM circa 1963.
Used to:Melodic and biting with a guitar riff that Keith Richards would be proud of, there is nothing this song does not have. DJ Augustine
