Diggin' The Ground
03:25
|
|||
|
All we want is that feeling
no nothing more
just want the sound
And we know where it is found here under ground
When we're not sure what to do
It all comes back Back to the sound
I've spent my life with my hands digging the ground
We're not scared of the fall
cause we stay close close to the ground
We're at my best we're sur......rounded by sound

In A Little...Ditch
00:48

...eeauhm, so I'm sitting beside, ahh, some railroad tracks
in a little...ditch
there's some flowers, it's nice
I've been eating some raspberries
waiting for it to get dark
so I can jump on a train...
...now I have no idea where I am
I probably should have looked at a map before I came
or brought a map with me...
(shit-eaters laugh)

...I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm making all of this up as I go, but we'll see...
...beauty. You got any other ideas?.......ahh, whelp...
I can't seem to get no rest
My spirit just wants to jump right out of my chest
Still I'm going to travel on
In a hundred years or so, it's gonna be all gone
My feet just want to move
And I find myself in another strange groove
But it dont' make me scared
In a hundred years or so, I won't even care
I don't mind that bend in my mind
there's plenty to find and all I've got is time
So I'm just going to travel on till I fall
In a hundred years or so, no one will even remember me at all

Slept In A Bush
01:27

|
...it's 5 in the morning, I'm in San Diego, with very little sleep, and no idea where to go...
...slept beside a garbage can the first night, slept beside a fence full of razor wire the second night and got woken up by a dude ahh carrying a small automatic weapon...
...it's not so bad, I put the tarp down and I'm just sleepin' on top of that, open air style...
...I'm gonna hopefully find something to eat, maybe a bench to sleep on for a couple hours, and then, maybe a bathroom to wash up in as well...
...ahh, set up camp under a bridge...
...slept in a bush, on the side of the road...

...it's been great, I am full of life right now, I am pumped, I am definitely pumped...
Met at 4, in the garden
It wasn't long before, she said
I think it's time, we get to startin'
Pretty soon you know, we'll be dead
or don't you know
There's a place, we can go to
A little space on the edge of our time
We can do, things we're supposed to
What's it matter yea, it's all our time
We set a course for the stars, and burn up well beyond mars
And if we try and we fail we can always set sail
I lift my head, to the heavens
And thought about the words she said
took my turn, and rolled a 7
Pretty soon you know, we'll be dead

Clock Tickin'

The clock tickin' fast doesn't bother me
I know that I can't beat entropy
I know that I can't beat entropy
Dirt on my face doesn't bother me
I know that the ground is all I need
So I'm making my way to that line of trees
Cause I know that I can't beat entropy
Follow the dao till I start to rust
And I won't stop til I'm just a pile of dust
Cause it's been good and there's lots that I'm grateful for
We had fun we had Apples of '94
...that was a lot of fun, I'm gonna do that again...

Chad McCoy
Chad McCoy was a former project from Brad McGoey.
Having spent a good part of his 20's
as a busking vagabond, Chad McCoy creates songs that celebrate self-reliance and discovery, stylized after the 90's alternative music he grew up on, and in true D.I.Y fashion, played on instruments he's made and modified himself.
