The Avett Brothers Skin and Bones

the avett brothers at the ogden theatre in denver 2009 playing a new song


Its the skin and bones that keep me on the road
the shoulder blades of a beast that wants my soul
wondering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy i share
its 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 it but now i'm wanting out

I built the fence i hung the sign
blood red letters say keep in mind
of where i've been so dont come in
How long can you live in shame
and drop a life long curse on your own last name
the trouble is im used to it

Its the questions that keep me turning back
to see those rumors turn to fact
wondering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy i share

I built the fence i hung the sign
wine red letters say keep in mind
where we've been so dont come in
How long can we live in shame
and drop a life long curse on our own last names
the trouble is we're used to it
the trouble is we're used to it
the trouble is we're used to it

its the tin and the board that keeps me going home
but its who i am that wont let me alone
Growing stronger and loud
growing stronger and loud
growing stronger and loud

I am a rather new fan of the TAB, about 5 months or so, i heard I and love and you on the radio a few times and looked it up. I have listened to probly close to a hundred vids. most of them a hundred times each. I cant get enough, and when i think i have found the best one another one like this one comes along. I dont even know what genre to put these guys in anymore. they are just.....idk the best thing to happen to music in a while, absolutly love them. Thanks for the vid.

I'm a short ride from Concord, so I knew about them a long time ago. They have grown so much, and I'm glad to see they are keeping it up. I bought a banjo after many years of wanting one, and my first order of business is to learn some Avett.

It's great isn't it? I have been a hardcore fan for almost two years now and I still can't get enough and always find new favorite songs as well! I never get sick of any of their music either. I could listen to one cd over and over again for weeks, and I usually do. Going to see them tomorrow in Philly, can't wait!
