I was born in a liar of a town
Like Steve Earle passing through
Everything I wanted I had to stand up and fight for
You know what its like to grow up and ya feel that shit ain't you

When we fall we fall hard but when we stand we are giants
My best friend died in his sleep and sometimes we just run outta luck
I was on the run from goin' home
Found an old guitar in an abandoned room and what I was meant to be woke up

Met a girl got distance in her eyes
We were learning what we got was not enough
Buffy St Marie sang The Big Ones Get Away
And I didn't know where we were heading but we were generating love

So we ran away to the city settled in the village
First time in my life my past was gone
Her belly grew and my pages too
And from the Unthank Road is where all these songs come from

Money didn't come at first we were just like renting life
Now I got a woman with a belly full of God
Get a job son you think you better than us
Little one cryin' like the fire of the moon just look at what we got

She wore babies and I a practicing troubadour
Not a child's book dared tell you the smell of her kiss
Made bread and milk and at night I'd take a bow
Angela Clements called to say she found me because I can do this

All roads lead from where your shadow ends
I'm so in love with what this world has to sing
Everyday I'm in awe of the beautiful people we made
If I could live my life over I wouldn't change a thing

The Picturehouse is showing In the Mood for Love
It's already half a life they light lanterns in the sky
My phone rings and I pick up my guitar
And from Unthank Road I witness and testify
