Track 1 from the album: "The Ballad of Shorty Long," released in 2011 by Dachshund. www.dachshundband.com

lyrics

Bang bang go the drum
marking a heart’s time
beneath the morning sun
climbing a bare sky
step to the beat I’m moving
feet got to get me somewhere

Beyond the Eastern rise
upstreet and shimmering
my destination lies
I know it’s got to be
cuz I wear the miles I take while
it lingers farther away

And I’m tired of breakin’ down on the road less taken
How many hills to climb now?
And if I stop, I fall, carve seven words on my stone:
I always thought I’d find my way

Restless I pace around
her patience wearing thin
tie me to solid ground,
turn round I’m gone again
It’s every time I come home,
can’t keep from pushing away

From reaches just beyond
strange music speaks to me
sweet as a siren-song,
cruel as a jagged reef
Always so close ’til I find
it’s ever-farther away

And I’m tired of breakin’ down on the road less taken
How many hills to climb now?
And if I stop, I fall, carve seven words on my stone:
I always thought I’d find my way
