I wrote this one after talking with a lady about the complexities of the times we’re in.
“Girl,” she told me, “I’m a mountain woman and I live simple. If I need something I’ll make it or barter with my neighbor, and I’ve got love. That’s that.”
While I think it’s necessary to get involved with the world sometimes, that stuck with me, so I wrote this song. After writing it I realized it’s really John Prine’s “Spanish Pipedream” but through the point of view of the levelheaded dancer (and of course, I’m no Prine😊).
I’m playing it at Mingus Mill, a historic grist mill, so that’s a river you’re hearing in the background.
