about

I wrote this driving through the mountains of Colorado on my way back to Las Vegas with Devon McGillivary.

lyrics

Pot-O-Liquor
G C G
Some search for silver, and others for gold
G D
A pot-o-liquor for my shoes I sold
G C G
I’ve been pickin’ on this mountain but this winter’s mighty bold
G D G G
I’d love to keep on playin’ but my fingers’ frozen cold

I’m headed for the ocean, I’m headed for that sun
I won’t stop a-ridin’ until the day that I am done
Left my lover on that mountain the best a heart could find
I Don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow for my baby’s not far behind

Chorus
C G
Well I put so many miles underneath these feet
D G
I been runnin’ so hard I’m perpetually beat
C G
But I can't stop now with so much at stake
D C D G G
Life in hand, with the future to create

My clothes be tattered and my hair grown long
My face bruised and battered but I will carry on
Don’t spend no money on a thing I don’t need
Fine beer made from honey but I’m drinkin’ for free

There’s beans on my plate and a smile in my mouth
These beans are great but the best food’s in the south
Drink coffee in the morn’ wake up with the sun
To the road I’ve sworn so away I run

Chorus

Anticipate death around every turn
But why waste my breath if for my sins I will burn
But yet I remain in this life unconcerned
How insane for death to yearn
Chorus
