lyrics

Oh my sweet Kentucky, my only home,
Left my heart in the country to plow these fields and these roads.
If the wind should do my bidding, and the beasts unknown
Should handle all my planting,
Let these weeds be my home.

Consider all these lilies, consider all these fields,
Planted by no hand but an aimless wind.
I’m turning sideways into you til you catch my knees,
Take me to wherever you damned well please.

I look to these mountains, to the skies up above,
I look to these hills where my help comes from.
Winter will kill, claim all our skill,
We’ll meet her with the love that this summer gives.

There’s vanities that I have kept from you mother,
There’s vanities that I have kept for your sons.
I will go down to Jordan cast off my burdens,
I will go down to Jordan cast off my pride.
What clothes will I take off of my body
When this water warms and winter ends?
These currents I carry the river can keep them,
For there’s room enough for all of my sins.

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.”
