[00:01.481]The Once And Future Carpenter -The Avett Brothers
[00:10.607]I ain't from Texas
[00:12.545]But I made my way from Dallas
[00:15.986]And I know the lonesome sound is following
[00:24.107]And I ain't a gambler
[00:25.874]But I can recognize a hand
[00:29.125]And when to hold
[00:30.809]When queens are staring back at me
[00:52.375]Once I was a carpenter
[00:55.433]And man my hands were calloused
[00:58.374]I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
[01:05.686]But I took to the highway
[01:09.55]A poet young and hungry
[01:11.700]<-5,1374,0>left the timbers where they lay
[01:19.70]Forever I will move like the world
[01:23.383]That turns beneath me
[01:25.69]And when I lose my direction
[01:28.947]I'll look up to the sky
[01:31.635]And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
[01:35.386]I'll be ready to surrender and remember
[01:40.507]Well we're all in this together
[01:45.63]If I live the life I'm given
[01:50.756]I wont be scared to die
[01:56.255]And I don't come from Detroit
[01:58.819]But her diesel motors pull me
[02:01.947]And I followed till I finally lost my way
[02:09.316]And now I spend my days in search of a woman
[02:13.506]I called purpose
[02:15.258]And if I ever pass back through her town
[02:19.06]I'll stay
[02:22.634]Forever I will move like the world
[02:26.708]That turns beneath me
[02:28.516]And when I lose my direction
[02:32.266]I'll look up to the sky
[02:35.87]And when the black dress drags upon the ground
[02:38.958]I'll be ready to surrender and remember
[02:44.26]Well we're all in this together
[02:48.705]If I live the life I'm given
[02:54.458]I won't be scared to die
[03:18.272]And my life is but a coin
[03:21.248]It'spulled from an empty pocket
[03:24.132]Dropped into a slot
[03:25.692]With dreams of sevens close behind
[03:31.692]And these hopes and these fears go with it
[03:34.564]And moon and the sun go spinning
[03:37.500]Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes
[03:44.68]Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind
[03:51.358]Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind
[03:59.541]Forever I will move like the world
[04:03.791]That turns beneath me
[04:05.477]And when I lose my direction
[04:09.101]I'll look up to the sky
[04:12.229]And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
[04:15.917]I'll be ready to surrender and remember
[04:20.789]Well we're all in this together
[04:25.725]If I live the life I'm given
[04:31.419]I won't be scared to die
