lyrics

TEXAS BLUES NO 7 - NATHAN EVANS FOX

I lost my taste for poetry,
Picked up my taste for gin.
When we headed out for Houston with no family and no friends.
We moved out here this time last year
Threw dirt on sparks that we held dear,
Oh send me an eastbound wind.

I traded in my walking boots
For a pair of polished shoes,
Took up a boss man’s Bible,
Led the dying to their tombs.
All the prayers that I’ve prayed here
Just payed my bills and bought my beer.
Oh, send me an eastbound wind,
Oh, send me an eastbound wind.

Intercede for me,
Sweet Saint Cecilia plead my case
To the rocks and trees,
This earth will understand.
Let all of heaven’s ears grow closed
Out where the burning dust all glows.
The only dust we will know,
We’ll wash from our feet.

I wrapped my faith in bubble wrap,
Made altars of moving vans,
I did my best to dodge them hammers swung by Christian hands.
But this fragile thing that we keep warm just might tire out before it’s born.
Oh, send me an eastbound wind.

Where it is my friends have been is where I want to go,
Where it is my friends have been is what I want to know,
I’m getting tired of holding smiles for memories of absent folks,
Oh, send me an eastbound wind,
Oh, send me an eastbound wind,
Oh, send me an eastbound wind.

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.”
