Featured song from 2015's Circuitous & Before the Great Divide Remastered Double LP and 2017's Refuge LP

Refuge

You're not on your momma's hip
Anymore
You left your Daddy's shoulders— 
Now you're standing on the floor
Always ready to open up
Another door
Sometimes all this world wants to teach you
Is how to keep score

There are hills you climb sometimes
Just because they're there...
There are things worth learning even if the grade
Isn't there
Oh, you've got to take them when they come—
They may not come again
Just like the desert flower
Always be ready for the rain

Everybody's got something they want from you
You're gonna need a refuge—a place to run to

You're gonna need some friends
Along the way
The kind that will stand with you
Not get in your way
And some are gonna last
And some for just awhile
It's more about the faces
Than the miles

The best advice
Will take you by surprise
It's okay to be scared
Just don't let it close your eyes
There's so much,
So much you need to see
And don't forget...
You can count on me.

Everybody's got something they want from you
You're gonna need a refuge—a place to run to
Some days you're gonna wonder what this world's come to
I want to be your refuge—the one you run to
Let me be your refuge—the one that you run to.
