Orphan Child

Long away, for ago
I had what I thought was the best
I watched it slip fall and fade
I watched perfection become transgressed
I ripped up my roots, I change my name
I lived between polluted shores
I strained my ears to hear the wind
Tell me why was I born?
I am an orphan honey
I am a no-name nomad
Living in this great unknown
This place is good as any
And I’ve been to so many
I am an orphan child
Yes I’m an orphan but I’m better on my own
Why this race, this blood, this face
These hands, these eyes and these miles?
Between the graves and city plagues
To seek the ease of empty smiles
Friendships fought for then betrayed
Buy a kiss in the solemn night
And money that was gone before it was made and hunger that lost its appetite
I’m an orphan honey
I am a transient soul
My family tree’s on fire
And I don’t belong here
Or any place near
I am in orphan child
With a heart of barbed wire
I used to walk these streets amazed
Head ablaze in every town
I used to study every new face
Now I keep my keys to the ground
Why this language and why these dreams
And why must I hate what I create?
And why this mind full of twisted vines
Lifelines and fates I can’t escape
I am an orphan honey
I am a passing stranger
I don’t have that much to say
There’s part of me you’ll never see
I am in orphan child and my home’s still far away

Trial By Fire

Come up with me tonight
There’s a ring around the moon
Come and unload your head
Or whatever you want to do
Maybe I can’t cheer you up
Maybe that’s not what you need
It’s not a trial by fire, it’s not a trial by fire
You don’t have to be anything for me
See the sky full of stars
Every one is a mistake
That you’ve made in your life
That you were always going to make
Now you’re wishing on the dark
But it’s ok if you do
It’s not a trial by fire, it’s not a trial by fire
You don’t have to be anyone but you

Keep Me High
03:39
|

Standing on the corner
Waiting for the ambulance
Feeling like a Rembrandt
Tell the angels of fifth Street
I practice what I preach
But I don’t need their pity
I’ve got a new love that lasts forever
She’s got what it takes to keep me high
Becky went to Florida
With her undercover lawyer man
When the mafia destroyed her
She don’t need witness protection
She’s got a friend inside
And I don’t miss her affection
I’ve got a new love that lasts forever
She’s got what it takes to keep me high

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes
supported by 14 fans who also own “Invisible Pictures”
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was.
