about

Written while traveling around the USA

lyrics

1.
Don't worry too much 'bout the future
I think it take care of itself
Birds in the field
They do what they do
They don't lose sleep or wreck their health
2.
Five young Kurdish kids from Iraq
Come bummin' breakfast cereal the other day
They were ditchin' school together
It was a little bit sad
But they made me laugh
I was glad they came my way

~chorus~
Vagabond Witness
Wandering down a dirt road
Vagabond Witness
Nowhere and everywhere is home

3.
Hope to stay here tonight
Got some new strings on the dreadnaught
I'm parked here on the dirt outskirts
of this giant-sized Truckstop parking lot
4.
Make some dinner in the twilight
Tonight there's no other place to be
In three week's time
I get to see my sweetheart
Get the pleasure of her fine company

~chorus~
Vagabond Witness
Wandering down a dirt road
Vagabond Witness
Nowhere and everywhere is home

-bridge-
5.
Bag of ice for the cooler
Got some rice and black beans
Pita bread for a tortilla
Tomatoes, lettuce, and an onion green
6.
Hear the cricket calls
And the diesel trucks
Birdsongs, a 3/8ths moon
Cat in the weeds just rolling around

~chorus~
Vagabond Witness
Wandering down a dirt road
Vagabond Witness
Nowhere and everywhere is home
