    I started learning the banjo cause of this man. I met him a month ago and goddamn I was blown away seeing his live performance. He’s a hell of an artist. I can’t wait till he comes back

    I'm an old crusty acoustic picker/singer... I'd love to cover this... probably forgo the capo... being a baritone... will see.
    Thanks for writing such a great song. I don't, or should I say can't, write lyrics if my life depended on it. I know a lot of songwriters, I cover their tunes as well... You're in good company.

    If I come back this way again
    I hope to be the person everybody thinks I am
    Pull the wool from out my eyes
    Oh, sweet heaven when I die
    Where there's a will, there’s a way
    Time goes on and it gets harder every day
    Desperation, a death to hope
    Choking words caught in my throat
    How will you tell the ones that care
    I'd rather die by your hands
    Then find new love anywhere
    Too late to rise
    You've been down for so damn long this time
    Dark days, long nights
    Midnight sun take the light from out my eyes
    You’ve got me shaking all the time
    And pining out for a life I left behind
    I cannot think, I cannot breathe
    I seek the end, my sweet release
    I feel the darkness coming in
    St. Michael say a prayer
    The dragons back again
    Full of snakes like every man
    This is a fight no one will win
    I have lived on borrowed time
    Just waiting for a sign
    For redemption in your eyes
    Too late to rise
    You've been down for so damn long this time
    Dark days, long nights
    Midnight sun take the light from out my eyes
    She pays ten dollars for the show
    Makes her way through the crowd
    And cuts from throat to throat
    Up to the front where the lights hang low
    The dying crowd just wants one more
    And now we stand there face to face
    It all comes rushing back like it was yesterday
    Love and tears, hope and hate
    Bergamot buckskin and lace
    My trail ends in those pale floodlights
    'Neath the curtains and the smoke
    With the blood, the lead, and love
    Still stuck inside my throat
    When it's
    Too late to rise
    You've been down for so damn long this time
    Dark days, long nights
    Midnight sun take the light from out my eyes
