lyrics

Old Tom Pretty had a story to tell, but no one cared.
They all thought he was a rambling man with, long grey hair.
He sit there on his dusty porch and, sing to the moon.
For no one knew that one day we’d be gone, real soon.
Then one morning came a travelling man, with an open mind.
The only son of a farmer’s wife the last of his kind.
Saw Tom Pretty sittin there, whiskey in his hand.
Went right up to that old man said, tell me of this land.
Well, sit down son let me tell you about, what you gotta do.
For one day we’re gonna find ourselves away.
Sit down son let me tell you about, what you gotta do.
For one day we’re gonna find ourselves away, from here, real soon.
He picked up his old violin, those strings he tuned.
Told him to make the most of his life.
Told him to never close his eyes and keep his mind fair.
Those trusty chords of the violin they, well they filled the air
Yeah, sit down son let me tell you about, what you gotta do.
For one day we’re gonna find ourselves away.
Sit down son let me tell you about, what you gotta do.
For one day we’re gonna find ourselves away, from here, real soon.
