Faces in a dream
Asked me where the hell I’ve been
Some were angry
Some were glad
Just to see my face again
Just some simple conversation
Never hurt anyone
I think that everybody worries
Like they think
The world stops turning
On its own
Call me out
Don’t just keep it all to yourself
I’ve been in and out of the woods
Long enough to start learning my way around
And I’m glad I stuck around
Faces framed right in
The doorway looking, knocking here
Always smiling
Always calling
Wanting nothing but to be seen
And to be near
It’s too cold out here for visitors
So I guess I’ll come inside
Where it’s warm
where you are
Where the world is simplified

Tell me about your mother
on the sidewalk
street light glow is blinding out the stars
For a moment we are captured
Nothing else is shining through
It’s 3 am before you start your car
And then you go
I made you go
Funny when I look back on it now
We’re still riding round in that old beat up car
everything has changed
Fleetwood Mac still sounds the same
And I remember all the nights and all the stars
And then you go
Last time I heard you were far away
And we’ve both gone and made families of our own
And I’m just sitting here
even though I’ll never tell you
The other side is where I always belonged
and there you go
I made you go

Board up my windows
And lock up my doors
too busy looking out
To see the dirt on my floors
Leave me a peephole
So I can still look outside
Don’t want no outsiders
Don’t want to meet no stranger’s eyes
dig up my sidewalk
And close down my road
No one comes in or out
Of my place anymore
I heard it all on the news
Don’t need to talk about it with you
It’s hard to tell what’s the truth
Anymore
So I’ll lock the door
I heard the shouting
Coming out of their heads
I saw their faces
In a book where I read
In big bold letters
All the things I needed to know
So many fingers pointing
I feel like everyone is guilty now
So many fingers pointing
I feel like everyone is guilty now

V1
I’ve got boots that will never be shined
Soles are splitting from the bottoms and sides
There are days that I think
I was made only for birds and for snakes
I’ve got some stories that I don’t often tell
I’ve got some memories that I keep to myself
Like pinching yourself
So the pain will keep you awake
CH
None of us will get a free ride
Now that the world’s on fire
I’ll be damned if I’m too scared to say my piece
We’re all in the same place
There’s nowhere else to be
V2
I’ve got a piece of flint
That a man once gave to me
after he had healed my wounds
and showed me that I’m free
Our fathers were warring
But our sons and our daughters will see
I’ve got boots that will never be shined
Soles are splitting from the bottoms and sides

V1
Someday you will see me as I am
I would never want to be
Anything more than what
You make me
You’re making me
CH
You’re making me an honest man
Even when my heart is heaviest
You’re making me an honest man
Even when the way’s perilous
You’re making me an honest man
V2
I can’t say I haven’t stumbled
You know I do it all the time
Sometimes we’re angry at each other
And that’s fine
It’s fine
CH
BR
You know I won’t go far
You know I can’t go far
Enough to forget your face
You know I won’t go far
You know I can’t go far
Enough to forget my place
CH x 2
You’re keeping me an honest man
Even when my heart is heaviest
You’re keeping me an honest man
Even when the way’s perilous
You’re keeping me an honest man

Mama, don’t worry about my angel
she’s going to be just fine
When I’m gone she’ll know just how
to appreciate her time
My angel’s been working, baby.
She’s been working so hard
You know she ain’t got it easy
my guardian angel works so hard
It’s been some years since she took a night off, lord
It’s been some time since she’s had some rest
Cause I’ve been known to be a little bit dangerous
I’ve been known to be a little reckless
She’s been working, baby
She’s been working so hard
The poor girl ain’t got it easy
my guardian angels works so hard
I’ve fallen down on my knees
Crawl to her door when I’ve been astray
She won’t get no relief
Until I’m gone, gone, gone away
Mama, don’t worry about my angel
she’s going to be just fine
When I’m gone she’ll know just how
to appreciate her time
My angel’s been working, baby.
She’s been working so hard
You know she ain’t got it easy
my guardian angel works so hard
