lyrics

I’ll tell you a secret if you want to hear
I’ll share all my wishes, my sorrows, my fears
cause baring one’s soul ain’t no disgrace
know that it comes from an honest place

I laugh at the things that make others cry
only to hide the darkness inside
when you look at this clown and the smile on his face
know that it comes from an honest place

my days are battles, my years are wars
I’ve burned all the bridges and came back for more
when I say that my whole life’s been a waste
know that it comes from an honest place

down flow the rivers thru mountains and fields to the sea
up thru the ashes of burned out hopes and dreams

when I feel my soul’s being taken away
I know in my heart that I’m aching to stay
when I tell you I’d love you, any time, any way
know that it comes from an honest place
and if I died tonight, in your embrace
know that it came from an honest place
I’ll tell you a secret if you want to hear
I’ll share all my wishes, my sorrows, my fears
cause baring one’s soul ain’t no disgrace
know that it comes from an honest place

I laugh at the things that make others cry
only to hide the darkness inside
when you look at this clown and the smile on his face
know that it comes from an honest place

my days are battles, my years are wars
I’ve burned all the bridges and came back for more
when I say that my whole life’s been a waste
know that it comes from an honest place

down flow the rivers thru mountains and fields to the sea
up thru the ashes of burned out hopes and dreams

when I feel my soul’s being taken away
I know in my heart that I’m aching to stay
when I tell you I’d love you, any time, any way
know that it comes from an honest place
and if I died tonight, in your embrace
know that it came from an honest place

about

Cletis Carr

Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.

A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
