Closer Walk With Thee lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Through this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To thy Kingdom's shore, to thy shore
Cripple Creek lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
I got a girl and she loves me
She's as sweet as she can be
She's got eyes of baby blue
Make my gun shoot straight and true
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Well, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep
Wade o'er Cripple Creek before I sleep
Pull my britches to my knees
Wade o'er Cripple Creek when I please
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Going down to Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Diamond Joe lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Well, there is a man you'll hear about
Most every place you go
All his holdings are in Texas
And his name is Diamond Joe
And he carries all his money
In a diamond-studded jar
He never was much bother
By the process of the law
I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys
Did offer him my hand
And he gave me a string of horses
So old they couldn't stand
And I liked to starved to death, boys
He did mistreat me so
And I never saved no dollar
In the pay of Diamond Joe
His bread it was corn dodger
His meat I couldn't chaw
Nearly drove me near distracted
By the wagging of his jaw
Oh, the telling of his story
Oh, I hate to let you know
There never was no rounder
That lied like Diamond Joe
Well, I tried three times to quit him, boys
Oh, he did argue so
I'm still punching cattle
In the pay of Diamond Joe
And when I'm called up yonder
And it comes my time to go
Give my blankets to my buddies
Give my fleece to Diamond Joe
Gamblin' Man lyrics - The Avett Brothers
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well, I gambled up in Washington
I gambled up in Maine
I'm on my way to Georgia
To knock down my last game
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well, I had not been in Washington
Many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well, she [?] in her parlour
Cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear
"I love that gamblin' man"
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well, Momma, my dear Momma
You know I love you well
But the love I hold for the gamblin' man
No human tongue could tell
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
Well, Daughter, my dear Daughter
How can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old momma
And with that gambler go
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
Well, I would not marry a farmer
He's always in the rain
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
With a big old watch and chain
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
Well, I would not marry no banjo man
He's going just to pray
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
With a big old watch and chain
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
I hear that train a-coming
It's rolling around the curve
It's whistling and a-blowing
Straining every nerve
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
Happy Trails lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smiling on till then
Who cares about the clouds when we are together
Just sing a song about sunny weather
Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smiling on till then
Some trails are happy one, other trails are blue
It's the way you write that counts
Here's a happy one for you
Happy trails to you
Till we meet again
I'll Fly Away lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away (in the morning)
To my home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have grown
I'll fly away (in the morning)
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away (in the morning)
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Neapolitan Sky lyrics - The Avett Brothers
From the foot of the bed
To the cold Neapolitan sky
From the back of my mind
To the front of this tired disguise
What's with this moment?
What's with this feelin'?
What's with January and the locks on the door?
How do I make my escape?
How do I find what I'm lookin' for?
From the memory of the walk
From the pyramid of cans to the call
From the tender touch of your lips
To the straps slippin' off of your hips
What's with this moment?
What's with this feelin'?
What's with January and the locks on the door?
How do I make my escape?
How do I find what I'm lookin' for?
Hospitals and lobby lust
Truth in all of its disgust
Love was never blind
But I was
Clouded glass and surface rust
Voices I could never trust
Love was never blind
But I was
From the paper
To the glue
On the letters written to you
From the start of the affair
To the last kiss we would share
What's with this moment?
What's with this feelin'?
What's with January and the locks on the door?
How do I make my escape?
How do I find what I'm lookin' for?
Hospitals and lobby lust
Truth in all of its disgust
Love was never blind
But I was
Clouded glass and surface rust
Voices I could never trust
Love was never blind
But I was
Pick Up The Tempo (Live) lyrics - The Avett Brothers
(originally by Willie Nelson)
Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my Saviour
And little they know that the beat oughta go a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
Well I'm wild and I'm mean I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatehrin' a crowd and I like gravy
About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
Take it on home
Rejects In The Attic lyrics - The Avett Brothers
I've been hanging out with the rejects in the attic
Can't get out of my head the way you left
I got a sense of belonging but what does it matter
The winter's on its way here to collect
The colors we thought were ours to protect
I was born on the outskirts of a dream
My daddy was a miner of almost anything
And I've been busting stones
Too proud to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
Don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different without you?
I'm taking rain like an Appaloosa hoofprint
And you know I'm drinking sunlight all day long
I'm opened up just like a dogwood flower
And winter's on its way here to collect
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
And don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different without you?
I was taken on the outskirts of a dream
I had a been a miner of almost everything
Well I stopped busting stones
I'll have to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
And don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different?
Winter's on its way here to collect
Don't I look? Don't I look?
Winter's on its way here to collect
Don't I look? Don't I look?
Winter's on its way here to collect
Don't I look? Don't I look?
Winter's on its way here to collect
Don't I look? Don't I look?
Winter's on its way here without you
Winter's on its way here without you
Roses And Sacrifice lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Words only won't suffice
Roses and sacrifice for you
Darling don't get me wrong
I've loved for long enough to tell
You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you want
Spent too much time apart
God bless, we got to start again
Your heart's been suffering
I try to hold it every now and then
You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you need
Our life together
Couldn't start too soon
And so we gladly settle for
A short honeymoon
Move heaven and earth for you
Prove we can make it through the pain
Can't always disagree
We'll find somewhere to meet, I know
Between our wildest dreams
And where reality seems to fall
(I'm not slowing down)
I'm not slowing down
(Waiting for)
I'm not waiting for anyone anymore
I know just what I want
And I know just what I need
I know just what I want
This Land Is Your Land lyrics - The Avett Brothers
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From the California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining as I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said "No trespassin'"
But on the other side... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
Trouble Letting Go lyrics - The Avett Brothers
Paint love in a lonely light
Monochrome only when I go without
Got light in the soul tonight
Every color I've ever heard about
It feels so good I'll have trouble letting go
Strobe light lightning bolts
Dance floor spinning like a hurricane
Love current 10,000 volts
Heavy win bending up the weather vane
It felt so good I had trouble letting go
The magic is there for us all to feel
Naming it isn't what makes it real
Rushing around for us all to know
Noticing isn't what makes it so
Wanna walk side by side a while
Just a few blocks up 7th Ave
By the time we hit the park
You're gonna be too old to wanna hold my hand
It feels so good I'll have trouble letting go
The magic is there for us all to feel
Naming it isn't what makes it real
Rushing around for us all to know
Noticing isn't what makes it so
I cry when I have it, I cry when I don't
And everyone walks away
Still I ask if I can stay
The magic is there for us all to feel
Naming it isn't what makes it real
Rushing around for us all to know
Noticing isn't what makes it so
I cry when I have it, I cry when I don't
And everyone walks away
Yeah everyone walks away
Yeah everyone walks away
Still I ask if I can stay
