about

A track about living in a tiny town off the grid. I've lived in Alaska near trapper creek, and I've visited Caravelas in Brazil. Definitely thinking of friends I've lost with this song and I'm expressing gratitude for their presence in my life and all the food I've been lucky enough to eat.

lyrics

I’m so grateful for the food, that comes from so far we don’t even know
And I’ve left hairs and skin cells everywhere I go

Be grateful for the pain, those feelings will soon fade
Every stain on your clothes
Represents some food you ate or art you made

I want to live where I don’t need a bike lock
F C G G7
And I can go a week without seeing a clock
I want to live where you don’t need an alarm clock and you can take a walk down to the dock

Bmin
I like to draw boats
Emin
And I like to pet goats.
I like to draw maps
I like to take naps

I’m grateful for my friends: their value is uncalculated
I’m grateful for my thoughts though I wish they were less complicated…
I’ve seen the busy cities, so wild with light pollution
But I prefer the quiet places, better suited to my constitution.

I want to live where I don’t need a bike lock,
And I can go a week without seeing a clock
I want to live where you won’t head a car alarm and no one
Sets off fireworks on your block.

I like to feel good
I like to chop wood
I like to cook meals
I like to feel feels

The sound of the surf
The sounds of the birds
Away from the bars
Away from the cars...
