These songs came to life in the shadows of the vast and ancient mountains of western Montana. No matter where you are, I hope the stories contained within each leave you feeling connected to something as timeless and spellbinding.
Love, Timbre Ghost
P.s. Thank you, Willie!
lyrics
Everyone wants to be Townes Van Zandt
but, nobody wants to die
Buckles, boots, a Stetson Hat,
A Honky-Tonk delight
But, ain’t nobody stepping up
to wear that weary mind
Everyone wants to be Townes Van Zandt
but, nobody wants to die
I can put that liquor down
but, I can’t stay dry
I can clean up my whole act
but for a while
One day I shall be released
like the old Magpie
I can put that liquor down
but, I can’t stay dry
Packing up that pickup truck
to hit the mountain side
Looking for old arrowheads
when the meadow is dry
I think I’ll climb up Cattle Creek
while the sun is still high
One day I’ll meet Townes Van Zandt
but, not before I die
One day I’ll meet Townes Van Zandt
but, first I’ll have to die
