about

Wherever we go, Lonesome Doves will put on a show.

lyrics

I was 12 years old when I learned how to die
when the time came to see him, I didn't even cry
I know it's the truth, I won't ever forget
How when you showed me how to play a song
I forgot about death

Now I can't stop, I got something to give
Let me in your dying ears and I will make you want to live
I was 19 years old when I first tried
Freeze the moment, bottle open, eyes shut then wide
Hit me hard in the back like a jar in a bell
The safety seal smiled not one drop fell

You gotta play really hard
You gotta play really loud
You gotta twist & shout, let em know what you're about
awoooo oooh ooh
awoooo ooh ooh ooh ooh

I was 24 years old when I first met you
From two tumbleweeds a garden grew
Took music in my soul like lungs take a breath
How I shook when you showed me
How to defy death
Them thoughts come a creeping like they never have left
But why worry baby when we can strum on this fret?
With our backs to the wall we break out of the cell
Where are we going next? Well, you never can tell.

Chorus

I was 28 years old when we left our home
Made our living making music on the side of the road
Said there's nothing left for us, we might as well go

I will sing, I will play at the tops of my soul
You play the people your guitar & we'll put on a show!

Chorus
