lyrics

the pace was moving slow and i raced away because there wasn't no more space to grow
but now i want to go home
i lost a lot got a lot of pain to drone and found myself a brand new plane to roam
but now i want to go home
and it's hard to feel full-grown when you're in the sweet sticks and no one picks the bone
yeah it's hard to feel full-grown when you're in the sweet sticks and everyone stays home

i'm just a cowboy looking for a gold mine
haven't found an alloy using up my lifelines
'cause it's too easy to just sit in the cut and remain
my friends said hold off stay and keep your head clear
you gotta be crazy if you're going back there
but i'd be crazy to just stay sane

you're so eager but so burned out then you know exactly what i'm talking about i say oh
you just want to be free
you come for knowledge love and wealth and you find you're just a shadow of your former self oh no
you just wanted to be free
and i find myself worry-prone and i always find that i'm a brand new man alone
but i fancy myself a pot of gold and i fancy i'll find me a brand new hand to hold

i'm just a cowboy looking for a gold mine
floating like a bath toy wasting all my damned time
'cause it's so easy to just just sit in the cut and resign
don't call it lazy just can't keep my head clear
i gotta be crazy thinking you're coming back here
but won't you please just won't you please give me a sign

i take no mercy always staying in fear
i gotta stay thirsty if i want to live here
i swear i'm gonna get that pot of gold
everything is in but i'm living like an outlaw
i would've backed out had i known what i was in for
but now i'm on the brink of so much more

Joshua Hatcher New York

A native of the vibrant musical town of Ithaca, NY, Hatcher has been living and breathing music since emerging from the womb. Raised on a hearty diet of dusty old jazz records, golden-era hip hop cassettes, and a diverse smattering of folk, funk, and bossa nova, he has sculpted a unique brand of soulful music nestled pleasantly in an asteroid belt between a variety of celestial sounds. ... more
