The Avett Brothers - Skin and Bones [HD]

Big Top Chautauqua - Bayfield, WI - July 09, 2010

Lyrics:
It's the skin and bones that keeps me on the road
Shoulder blades of a beast that haunts my soul
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I shared

It's quick to drag you in but hard to shake
It gives but doesn't match how much it takes
Growing stronger and loud
I lived in but now I'm wanting out

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Blood red letters saying keep in mind
Where I've been, so don't come in
But how long can you live in shame
Drop a life-long curse on your last name
Trouble is I'm used to it

It's the questions that keep me turning back
To see those rumors turn to fact
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I share

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Wine red letters saying keep in mind
Where we've been, so don't come in
But how long can we live in shame
Drop a life-long curse on your own last names
Trouble is we're used to it
The trouble is we're used to it
The trouble is we're used to it

It's the tin and the board that keeps me going home
But it's who I am that won't let me alone
Growing stronger and loud
Growing stronger and loud
Growing stronger and loud

[MrStrusz]

This song makes me hungry for a new album.

[Bwadify]

Thumbs up for Joe Kwon!

[mculver7]

@aft19 I can hear it. It's brief but it's there.

[brokeasbizzle]

[cindyandrob]

Blue Ribbon Healers loving this sh!t!

[aft19]

I like this breakdown around 1:40 cause it sounds so much like "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by the Band. Try it! When it rolls around, sing

Now I don't mind

chopping wood

and I don't care

if my money's no good

you take what you need and you leave the rest

but they should never have taken the very best

[ifitsthebeaches27]

wow that is an amazing setlist. sounds like an awesome show!

[LSUsuperBuick]

Joe Kwan is the best addition they've made to their touring band yet.

[AtomicHercules]

Now let's see if Scott even plays banjo on this on an album or if it becomes another bland piano song.
