lyrics

ST LOUIS - NATHAN EVANS FOX

It’s been a full year in St. Louis,
And we still ain’t getting used to it,
Cast all our worries down the river to Tennessee.
It’s been a while since I seen mountains,
Chased moonshine ghosts through valleys,
Now I’m dreaming ‘bout that boat that’ll take me where I wanna be.

Back home our families are getting older--
There’s money in the bank for a plane trip home.
Pray my next trip to Carolina ain’t with black suit and tie
For tombstones and roses and drafts of eulogies.

We marched around Jericho about this time a year ago
Singing songs our fathers stole ‘bout where they wished we’d be.
And it’s a dangerous thing to entertain
That I ain’t got reasons for going my way.
Now I’m dreaming ‘bout that boat that’ll take me where I want to be.

Every garden has its apple,
Every apple has its Eve,
And I am still deciding which of them I wanna be.
The one to curse our staying
Or the one to make us leave,
And I am
Still deciding
Which of them I wanna be.

It’s been a full year in St. Louis,
And we won’t ever quite get used to it.
Now I’m dreaming ‘bout wherever it is that we’ll soon be.
I miss them lonesome mountains,
I miss them moonshine valleys,
Now I’m dreaming ‘bout that boat or those wheels or that steam.

about

Nathan Evans Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox writes songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
