Gone Awry ft. Guitar Maps Drum Tracks Lyrics

I bought me an acre on the promised land, living on my own like some mountain man

Things haven't gone as well as planned, too much work for a one-man band

Don't own a gun, or know how to shoot one, don't have a garden, got no green thumb

I'm a homesteader without a clue fresh off my escape from the human zoo

Ill-equipped to live off the land, what was I thinking? Can you give me a hand

I can see all the stars at night, even track the satellites

I can see the Big Dipper, I can see them Marfa lights

I hope it's not too late to try and live and die without a trace

Try and find some sense of grace inside Mother Nature's sweet embrace

My good intentions have gone awry, destroying my world when I try

Reversing engineering harmony turning into guaranteed cacophony

After a while things settle down, my garden starts growing, my rooster starts crowing

But just when I think that I'm home free, my horizon starts glowing

Now I got a truck stop right off the interstate, seems that God's green acre is now prime real estate

Subdivide and conquer not living off the land, mankind is the monster that continues to expand

I chop down trees if they block my view, I destroy the land, I can destroy you

I'm a homesteader without a clue, I hear the call of the wild from my inhuman zoo

Time is like a wrecking ball, building a life just to watch it fall

Good intentions, bad results, my good heart gone awry

Cherish the moments, few and swift, good and bad are all a gift

Stars fade faster than memories and memories float away to the sky

Time is like a wrecking ball, building a life just to watch it fall

Good intentions, bad results, my good heart gone awry

Cherish the moments, few and swift, good and bad are all a gift

Stars fade faster than memories and memories float away to the sky
