lyrics

the kid you’re known to be was one for pushing limits
as long as someone else was around to catalogue your breakthroughs
an unearned halo graced your moppy head
practiced charm kept you the king
but soon you’ll have to learn how to sing

a sprawling dream that no-one’s ever seen
ripped from the lips of designer drug trips
an unending stream of consciousness and weaknesses
you’re too afraid to put into conversation

dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big
dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big

you’ll worship your smokes and the Rolling Stones
they’ll keep you afloat on anecdotes and bluenotes
frozen in place for fear of cliche
if you take any steps you could fall a long ways

don’t you tell a lie. I can see it in your eyes
every single time
cause your fate’s the same as mine

dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big
dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big
dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big
dig a little deeper kid
there’s more to this than you may think
dream a little bigger kid
there’s more to this than making it big

I'd been jonesing for some juniper berries since their bush got uprooted from Oregon, but when I heard how purty the songs were from this Texas transplant, I realized they'd never left my inner ear. More gin! Havana Bob
