Karen’s Song (Ardent Sessions)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Now, uh, thanks for comin' out and actin' like you like me Name's Cory Branan, I'm from here, born here. Only cause the hospitals suck in Mississippi so my mom drove up And uh, I was raised in north Mississippi, moved here when I was twenty-- It doesn't matter this is all boring But I'm sort of from here, and I'm not from here anymore, I live down in Austin (Yeah!) Yeah, woo! So I'm just gonna play songs, thanks Ardent for havin' me. Great to be in this room, as always. Lotta cool stuff, lotta cool stuff, man That's all coming to an end right now, for the next 30 minutes Lemme start with some sweet stuff if that's okay I'll tune after this one, this is a song about my girl, they gеt less sweet as they go [Verse 1] I am following a compass that is always pointed South Evеrybody says it's busted and sometimes I have my doubts But it led me through the wilderness It led me to a town It led me to your love and it has yet to let me down I guess it gets as cold at night She don't strum my blood with light She lines my coat with kites Oh, she lines my coat with kites Boy, she [Verse 2] Frozen rooftop podunk bar She rose tiptoes poking stars Singing someone screwed the sky too tight I laughed and filled my lungs with light I wish I may Wish I might She lined my coat with kites Boy, she [Verse 3] She gotta sad little fiddle She draws that bad bow down I'm gonna sail away on that land locked sound She's got a ship and a bottle Boys, what'll it be? God speed to the bottom of the bottomless sea One.. Two.. And I guess it gets as cold at night If she don't strum my blood with light She lined my coat with kites Oh, she lines my coat with kites Boy, she [Verse 4] I've been following a compass that is always pointing South Everybody said it's busted and sometimes I had my doubts But it led me through the wilderness It led me to a town It led me to your love And it has yet to let me down Yet to let me down [Spoken] Alright...
