about

The first installment of songs written as part of The Movie Roundhouse, inspired by the film "Bound for Glory".

lyrics

Tell the Lord
Tell the folks down in the orchard
Let’s all make up some brand new songs to sing
Write your poems
In this world that ain’t your home
Set your eyes on the just and holy king

All I need’s a melody I picked up from the wind somewhere
I got more words than a preacher can preach
I’ll sing the gospel of the sign painter, the rabble-rousin’ philanderer
From California to Coney Island Beach

Near and far
Find me sleeping in a box car
I’ll live without a place to lay my head
Love the poor
May their treasurers all endure
I’m just trying to understand what Jesus said

Chorus

I’m no saint
But I got a bucket of leftover paint
My hand is steady and my heart brings good news
Tell the others
Look out for signs and wonders
Or find your light in a workingman’s blues

Chorus
