lyrics

the only spirits left on the rez
are kept in the bottles we stole,
dead to rights in the eyes of their Lord.
i jimmied the ancient lock
on the widow’s barn door.

i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.

tradition’s just a box of feathers
pawned for a nickel and a dime
so i could buy this bottle of wine,
it’s easy like water
down a slide.
i’m drunk and i’m high
and i don’t give a fuck
just in case you were wondering why . . .

i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.

the darkest parts of this town
never grow old.
i jimmied the same old lock
on the widow’s barn door.
the smell of hay and shit’s
as simple as life:
we get used to anything,
it’s just a matter of time.

i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.

at night i ride these hills and these streets.
it ain’t much of nothing,
but it’s too late now to dream.
the sheriff’s always half-asleep,
but if he ever catches me

i’m wild enough to know
i’m wild enough to know
i’m wild enough to know

i’ll never be free.

about

orphan factory Los Angeles, California

I'm from a small, rural town up in the Idaho panhandle. Much of my life has been a gamble and a kind of fistfight and I try to hold on to some semblance of faith though often I find myself too derelict to catch the offered light. Amen.
