Lyrics
The Tower of Babel was built on backs like mine
Disillusioned men who tried to climb too high
A lonely road I walk, my sacrifice today
In hopes tomorrow hears something I have say
Watch me build it up
Build it up to watch it fall down.
I’m enslaved by a tyrant in so many wicked ways
I’m Bound and I’m shackled to this guitar that I play
Give my sweat to the earth, my tears to the crowd
Looking for another just to feel that sound.
Build it up,
Build it up to watch it all fall down.

After a decade of playing dive bars, the recent pandemic has forced his hands back into
the rural soil of his
youth. The blues, woven into the young man’s heart, pour out with the passionate
performance of an older soul.
