Aberdeen - Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

There is a place that I used to go Given it's name by the buffalo Filled me up and eased my pain Washed my soul without the rain Oh Aberdeen, you've been calling to me Calling me to make my way back home To that cool summer breeze And those old evergreens The only place to rest my weary bones Soon I will go and free my heart To that sage and stone beneath the stars Clear my mind and float my soul To lay down all my sorrows Oh Aberdeen, you've been calling to me Calling me to make my way back home To that cool summer breeze And those old evergreens The only place to rest my weary bones

I follow the nocturne Observe in silence What does that make of me? Maybe I just want to follow the trail? And find something from the dark? Those who walk during the day Cannot understand the yearning From the light of the stars you can gain Something that will kill the thirst But just for a second Smoke will cover Those rays of light And you just have to Wander on In the haze of dawn The silhouettes are cast To the horizon A line drawn to the water That breaks once you throw The first stone You can see it in the clouds If you want Or if you can bend the time In ways that the end Becomes the beginning And the path Is just revealing itself In pitch black you need no eyes Because you can't see a thing Smoke will cover Those rays of light And you just have to Wander on In the haze of dawn The silhouettes are cast To the horizon A line drawn to the water That breaks once you throw The first stone You can see it in the clouds If you want to Or if you can bend the time In ways that the end Becomes the beginning And the path Is just revealing itself

Long before your rusted chains Busted walls and barbed wire cage Tried to hold me down Time was just a fist of change Tossed in the water just incase You ever came around I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lost the will to even try If you ever doubt listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye Pardon me if I appear To see beyond the now and here To try and save myself I'm not the kind of them to blame I'm not the kind to pin the blame... But I can take more of the same But I can't take more of the same... Livin' on your shelf I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lost the will to even try If you ever doubt listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye Door closes Another one opens I feel the cold wind blowing Over me Long gone But not forgotten I might be lost I might be finally free I'm finally free Long before your rusted chains Busted walls and barbed wire cage Tried to hold me down Time was just a fist of change Tossed in the water just incase You ever came around I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lose the will to even try If you ever doubt Listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye This is my last goodbye Yes, it is Yes, it is

It was a moonless night It was an empty sky It was a bad excuse I was the only fool in sight It was a crazy thought A mad man's walk it was It was a moonless night It was an empty sky It was a bad excuse I was the only fool in sight It was a crazy thought A mad man's walk it was I had a wandering' eye She was a better time One twisted heart A black cat's walkin' by She was a crazy thought A mad man's walk she was Oh, no she was She was a long way home Walking broken bone It wasn't wrong or right How deep that knife could go It was crazy thought A mad man's walk it was It was a crazy thought A mad man's walk it was She was a hangman's noose I was the fool I was Oh, I was Yeah baby I was
