The Live One 04:10
Saddle up the steeds Bring only what you need This road up ahead It’ll claim the life of a burdened man Through all said and done She was the real live one In my heart and mind I knew, this one! She smiled and turned my way And through all hellish storms and fire, I could hear my name (She whispered) Every path leaves mistakes But you sir, you’re running from those you haven’t made Through all said and done She was the real live one Through my heart and tongue I Cried this one! I felt her reach within And I cowardly fled like she was trying to shoot me dead For years and years I raged Cursed and damned those chances I didn't dare to take Through all said and done She'll go on as the live one Through the bolts in my heart I know - This One I lay my head down To breathe it all out I put my head down And scream it all out I put my head down And rivers start to run I fled that very place where she descended upon my name

Shed your winter feathers and creep across the room Let the warmth of the candles guide you I want you to want me watch your world explode When I let my loves embrace roam underneath your clothes Read out loud to me sing out your best rhyme Give the stars a tale of infinity and float across the sky Let my loves embrace shine through your eyes Exhale upon the touch of the divine Tuck your body next to my tomb Tuck your body next to my tomb Shed your pride, move close Honey let out the winter’s cold Tuck your body next to my tomb Autumn colors the path of my soul I tossed the last chains miles up the road I've been driving all through the night The asphalt river twists like a snake in my headlights Winter is pulling off the skirts of the trees Summer has given her last exhale In the dark you hear the lonesome hounds they cry Those left will surely feel the winters might Tuck your body next to my tomb Tuck your body next to my tomb Shed your pride, move close Honey let out the winter’s cold Tuck your body next to my tomb The sound of your heartbeat strikes me down Hits me like some strange religion breaking onto my soul At your bedside you tied hungry wolves down All yearning your kings crown

Does it feel worse? Are you still struggling? How come is it that you feel cursed? You know, I know that it hurts I know I said there would be letters But it’s hard to know, what could make you feel better When everything I get is returned to sender So where’re you at my old friend? In a boxcar riding the northern tracks On an airplane faking it as a millionaire On a dirt track begging another ride So where’re you at my old friend? Everything is changing And some it seems are easy gone But you are still singing that same old song Well I got news for you those lines will turn cold Like the echoes of your own voice in your home So where’re you at my old friend? In a boxcar riding the northern tracks On an airplane faking it as a millionaire On a dirt track begging another ride So where’re you at my old friend?

Stoned 03:35
All dressed up in their Monday best Pushing to get ahead just like all the rest Just a matter of time before the finish line Meanwhile you and I, we're along for the ride Rolling with the punches, no point in trying to stem the tide The time served is just for me and mine You and me, as long as we see a light mmm, we'll be alright Reasons and ambitions all passing over my head Pondering the clouds, did they get there yet? I think we figured it out already I think we got an edge Just give the holler, and we’ll be over the fence Everybody pushing to find their way to Rome Meanwhile you and I, we'll just bring it home Yeah, we'll bring it home

Smoke is rising over the hills Once it's here it'll bend your will Twist the truth and we all suffer March on broken down and worn Burning winds roll in from the west Our green bills will cut you to dust and sand Now I follow the path And I'll bury my sins at the river bank Prepare for the conquering folk For some they're coming home They carved the way through To the halls of the mountain dukes We're all just the bricks we lay Fighting the dust and sand But as the Assyrians say New roads don't make us forget Where the old one were paved Burning winds roll in from the west Our green bills will cut you to dust and sand Now I follow the path And bury my sins at the river bank He said, buy me a drink and shake my hand Then you'll know my grave won't hold no name See the cracks in the roads we paved They'll take more than a lifetime to amend

Rip it of a page Saw your branch off the tree Spike the punch, stir up the shakes Forget about tomorrow’s headaches Time to go out on a limb We'll crown you God, Liege and King The river takes all your sins and carries them down the stream Grab the wheel jump the wagon go down this trail Up on the hill they fill you with nothing Just to cave you will People running in circles looking out for others to burden The boss wants to leave you hollow Well I got a better pill that you can swallow (and it goes like this) The river takes all your sins and carries them down the stream Grab the wheel jump the wagon go down this trail Not sure where we're going But I’m pretty sure we'll get there floating If you should crash and burn I'll carry your shame And haul you out of the drain So grab another brew Tomorrow we go down with the dew The river takes all your sins and carries them down the stream Grab the wheel jump the wagon go down this trail

On a day like this I’ve been thinking of you And your stone throwing skills Well providence it will be true I’ve collected and dragged to the sea All the stones that ever got to me But those that are too big to throw into the waves Should I let them roll over me? Magnetic fields keep us safe from the sun But with what you stole, I’m burning away I’ve gone over wire and reef To bring you the depth of the sea And it grinds down my teeth You got a hold of me Take this journey all the way through To where there is no hope Till it grinds down my teeth You got a hold of me You make me feel lost out on the waves My capsized hull is succumb the stream But I take this journey all the way down To the end of the rope Till it grinds down my teeth You got a hold of me But you settled within And it aches like a cold wind That you and I weren’t meant to be

Grumpy 04:08
It’s time that head north Never to go back Not with the way them dice are rolling I tell ya, this time - I got I bad Scrapped up a fresh set of tires Yeah I just up and left They put a blister on my dignity So I had to turn to theft Whatever put in the tank goes straight to the banks And to build new diamond shacks in the desert lands I’ll set my mind at ease Move my pole and leash To a place where the ice don’t break And only the few can call me a freak Dust up that silly crown now baby And leave it by the door Lock the critters in the cellar baby ‘N’ Blast away on that old road Whatever put in the tank goes straight to the banks And to build new diamond shacks in the desert lands Whatever money that goes into my tank, it just curves my path and poisons the land There’s no telling how the leafs are falling, yeah everything’s rolling out crooked The Gods are out for hire Hear them tab the wires Hand out a limb for the bushwhacked baby And they’ll topple your corpse for a bone (home) (I’m getting too bloody old for Dreams that jump by bones A blend of eternal blight A pillar of torture to behold) Whatever put in the tank goes straight to the banks And to build new diamond shacks in the desert lands Whatever money that goes into my tank, it just curves my path and poisons the land There’s no telling how the leafs are falling, yeah everything’s rolling out crooked

Captain, Hold on your boat 'till I can get on I’m hopelessly lost out here I can’t see my way back home When I lay my head down To the cold dirt ground I dream I'm in your arms But my way is rugged and have come undone Oh Sergeant free me from this fight It's neither yours nor mine Silly folk gone opened up for some From which it's not worth to die Look how the feathers fall From the blazing sky The devil’s out, caught an angel And threw her down the mountain side Hold me honey hold me tight Get me through the night It's dark out here And I feel the pull of the rivers roaring might Captain, Hold on your boat 'till I get on I'm hopelessly lost out here And I can't see myself back to shore

Clear Skies 05:00
Up on the hill by the old copper beech We got a wooden shack So worn, you could grind it down with your teeth Here you do nothing but kick back Nothing but thick smoke and good times get out of that shack Downtown people look troubled, pale and diseased Some folk juggled round with the big rocks Now they have to fish them out of the stream Up here I tell you - the Greeks, got nothing on me Ancient, Modern, Myth whatever, got none on me Wherever we go things are looking fine Pa always said, boy don’t you ever go stronger than wine But I never fancied no dogma, I’ll rather ride between the lines When it gets too hot at night, we lay in the dew Tab into a memory and string it to a tune Pass it all around, I tell you - I’ll cut a monolith out of you Saw something pretty roll off the mountain slope It just kept tumbling on down the hill, now I’m not sure where I’m going Winter made my legs stiff and cold But no more aches and frowns Cuz the seeds have been laid, for another day The head must bow now, and the back will ache Put my money on a horse’s tail, but then we saw she had four wooden legs That creature, she ain’t taking home no race I’ll be handing my soul over to corporate goons Turn a blind eye to those who suffer on the news Do whatever it takes - to be lying right next to you Got lost in the horizon, I was turning blind Thunder and lightning further up woke my mind I put the hammer on the table, said boy – how many fingers do you plan on keeping tonight? Then bury this here tool Before we both will be screaming like fools I’ve been rolling with the coal wagons now, east and west This old diesel cuts the horizon into halves, thirds and fifths And I’m gaining age in a slower rateLLL than the rest My girl she’s tougher than the rest This engine cuts mountains into dust And we’ll blow past whatever there’s left - out there in the wild I’ll be drinking my liquor in this city here tonight Tomorrow I’ll be passing on along down the line I’m done selling myself to the highest bidder I’ll take it day by day now Till my corpse is dragged away like litter

My ways they've come undone The strings came apart And I fell out of the knot What tied me down escaped this ground The laces holding me together came undone A specter has been circling in my dreams It settled like a statue, an iconic flame A spark to keep the peer tamed Now I kneel in mud and water, and skin I peeled You brought the fuel, held the chains, gave me faith I always strive to know what might come up ahead Then you locked yourself right into my head But meet with the 31, now tell me what you've done You told this union had to die, cuz of the fear in your eye ------- A sundown only two can own Peace like only before a mighty storm Then the water started pouring in When the hurricanes came, I scattered with the winds I no longer cast any shade As my spirit seems to have fallen into decay For what it's worth winter will sweep away the cursed As she strokes the bald head of the barren earth Meet with the 31, now tell me what you've done A union was told they were to die cuz of the fear in your eyes Curse the day you were born - you wretched 31 Store in an empty glass, the memories we had, you and I and the cursed 31 ----------- This light throws so many shades, have worn the face of friends and enemies The road is as rugged as my soul But I signed this seal with the salts of my heart Then why do I break it apart Meet with the 31, now tell me what you've done A union was told they were to die cuz of the fear in these eyes Curse the day that you were born - restless and torn Store in an empty glass, memories we had, you and I and the cursed 31

about

Bound by Law is an upcoming Danish country group with roots solid planted in the heritage of traditional American country, blues and bluegrass. The sound is rough, dusty and honest, and the lyrical universe is centered around the dark and irrational aspects of modern life. If you like the old outlaws of the genre, perhaps Bound by Law is a band for you.
