lyrics

I was sitting heavy at the edge of the continent
I was sitting heavy at the edge of the continent
Hoping the letter that I sent matches what I meant

I was thinking about my baby, I don't know what's left of us now
I was thinking about my baby, I don't know what's left of us now
Gonna find that woman, gonna find her, though I don't know how

If I were a sparrow, I'd be a fighting bird
And I'd sing out the golden word
To understand, I'll be a hammer in her hand

Stray from the windows of this abandoned beast
I'm shutting it down, I'm heading east
I've done all I can in no man's promised land

I kept quite when my baby committed her crime
Yes, I kept quite when my lady committed her crime
I told my lady with a loaded gun that man deserved to die

But she's a good woman, she's got heartache and a hard smile
She's a good woman, she's got heartache and a hard smile
She's a hard working woman pulling spades in style

If I were a sparrow, I'd be a fighting bird
And I'd sing out the golden word
To understand, I'll be a hammer in her hand

Stray from the windows of this abandoned beast
I'm shutting it down, I'm heading east
I've done all I can in no man's promised land

I drove it west, man, I didn't waste no time
I drove it west, man, I didn't waste no time
But we were never followed across state lines

We were thinking California could save us from what we'd seen
We were thinking California could save us from what we'd seen
But Los Angeles don't give a damn about your dreams

If I were a sparrow, I'd be a fighting bird
And I'd sing out the golden word
To understand, I'll be a hammer in her hand

Stray from the windows of this abandoned beast
I'm shutting it down, I'm heading east
I've done all I can in no man's promised land

about

Patrick Dunn Sacramento, California

Patrick Dunn writes and plays music in the tradition of the old soul, the rambler, the traveling singer-songwriter -- characters found along the ever-growing timeline of honest music. Pulling from his influences, Patrick plays a mix of folk, soul, country, and rock and roll that has come to be called, for better and for worse, Americana. ... more
