about

Back when I lived in Canada, I had a little house where the town met the countryside. My sister gave me a pair of cowboy boots to work in the yard and garden with and I fell in love with the feel of wearing the heavy boots with bare feet and they way they felt as they hit the dirt road. I carried the lyric 'beat of my boot on the hard packed earth' in my head for years and across the sea where it finally decided to become it's own song.

LYRICS:

You know how the old story goes
Dam up the river and it can’t flow
It’s eating me up inside
The dam can’t withstand the coming tide

These words won’t leave me alone
The jitters are running right down through my bones
I’m like a snake in a coil
Blood’s startin to boil - ah - ah

The beat of my boot on the hard packed earth
The still of my breath what the rhythm’s worth
Take the problems of my mind
Underfoot and grind

Clouds will bring the thunder
Little boat on the choppy sea better sail for cover
These words swim round my head
And my eyes can’t see anything but red

The moon overhead is full now
Pulling all these changes through my bones now
They crawl just under my skin
I just can’t win - ah - ah

The beat of my boot on the hard packed earth
The still of my breath what the rhythm’s worth
Take the turmoil in my mind
Underfoot and grind
