lyrics

BRAKEMAN'S BALLAD

If your feet are burning then step down my road
If your mind is turning to thoughts you don’t know
And when the last train leaves and them whistles they blow
You won’t be alone

I gave you my whiskey I gave you my bed
I gave up the mystery haunting my head
We waited for the sunrise each night we did spend
But the sun hasn’t come up yet

That season was fine but it lasted too long
The reason I think now winter comes on so strong
I look to the stars but they too are gone
Now I’m alone

My travels have ended my journey is through
But if there’s one thing left that I’d like to do
It’s to walk down a road that both of us knew
And not think of you

about

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
