Lyrics
The Pines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's clear
To a minor or a massive degree
Gotta start thinking free
You owe a dent to working hands
Life with nothing, life with nothing else to spend
I couldn't bear to play a game
that left one broken hearted
I gotta get away
Going out into the Pines
Wait up in the hills
All the people I left behind
Fight with each other still
It ain't such a heavy load
When your mind is free to roam
Now I'm going out among the trees
Gonna start living for myself, start living free
Drove into a bottle neck on a one way road
Telling me I got choices
But baby I got no home
Such a dirty mouth, a defamation
behind a smile
Could anything you're saying
Make it all worth while?
Going out into the Pines
Wait up in the hills
All the people I left behind
Fight with each other still
Guess I had a vulnerable mind
That tuning in that you lied
Felt like every dream I had
Just a few little white lies
Just when you need a break
And you're almost dying of hunger
Baby your weakest hour is in
They struck the deal to pull you under
It ain't such a heavy load
When your mind is free to roam
Now I'm going out among the trees
Gonna start living for myself, start living free
