Odds & Evens - The High Wire

Curl your lip and strum country to me

Well you took to it so fast

While I was so slow

You held my hand

But now I’m so old

Got to start from somewhere

So I’ll start from the grave

We’ll count the steps along the way

Curl your lip and make me want to live

For one more day

Make me want to sleep

Through one more night

I owe everything

Debts I can’t escape til the day I die

Got to start from somewhere

So I’ll start from the grave

We’ll count the steps along the way

Odds for a christening

And evens, a wedding day

Walk me from st giles to st james

Here in your shadow

You keep me from getting burned

Got to start from somewhere

So I’ll start from the grave

We’ll count the steps along the way

Odds for a christening

And evens, a wedding day

Walk me from st giles to st james
