lyrics

Well I never really made my way

Oh Lord I tried

Worked hard and a got my pay

But first there’s things and then there’s others

The whole show starts to drag

Trying to fit all what you love

In a slowly shrinking bag



The deacon said he knew what I need

A little prayer and faith

And all the good things would come to me

But them that have are given more

Was the verse they read

I’m not someone to ignore

The sermons in my head



I’m gonna get straight

Before I’m in the ground

When it’s too late

I’ll turn round

To watch the last train

Heading out of town

Then set the match that burns that station down



Them that have are given more

The whole show starts to drag

Tried but I just can’t ignore

That slowly shrinking bag



First there’s things and then there’s others

Was the verse they read

Trying to fit all what you love

With the sermons in your head

The High and Wides image

The High and Wides Baltimore, Maryland

The High & Wides draw on their backgrounds in bluegrass to take the music to a place of their own with inspiration from the days when old-time, rockabilly, western swing, and proto-rock'n'roll mingled in a murky soup of hillbilly string band music.
