After I am gone
You best make no mistake
for I made all the love
that one man could make
I rode the desert raw
Skinned that rattle-snake
and left a better world
somewhere in my wake
But i've been limping around in circles
with my good foot in the grave
When the sun finally sets
somewhere way out west
please let my daughter know
That I always did my best
to be a better man
live life without regrets
Remind her of the light
that burns beneath her chest
Cause i've been limping around in circles
with my good foot in the grave
A mans life cant be measured by amount
I ain't lookin' for no easy way out
but when the Lord calls me back to his house
I just want my last check to bounce
Cause I've been limping around in circles
with my good foot in the grave
Fact: Tomo Nakayama is one of the greatest songsmiths working today. He's also pretty much the sweetest soul around. I feel honored that he lent his talents to "Farewell, tender heart." The Josey Dears
So, I lived in Seattle for 13 frickin' years and was never introduced to King Dude or his music. Now I'm crashing on a couch in Brooklyn listening to this shit through headphones and it's slaying me! The Josey Dears
This cat can do no wrong. All self recorded and produced. Reminds me of early K Records stuff mixed with the Talking heads (or something.) Otherworldly, really. The kinda music that starts trends. The Josey Dears
