Lyrics

[03.17.199] In Boundary County,
[03.27.678] As I did in my younger days
[00:00.000] Jason Beek: drums
[00:01.500] Eilen Jewell: acoustic guitar, vocals
[00:03.500] Daniel Kellar: violin
[00:05.500] Jerry Miller: lap steel
[00:07.000] Johnny Sciascia: upright bass
[00:08.680] Say hello to Boundary County
[00:12.890] If you make it up that way
[00:17.730] I don't get around as much
[00:20.690] As I did in my younger days
[00:24.450] I was raised in that country
[00:28.210] So pure and so fair
[00:32.250] But I took too hard to the whiskey
[00:36.320] And I wandered away from there.
[00:46.780] I miss the barbed wire and the sage
[00:50.870] On that wild northern range
[00:55.300] The giant, staring sky
[00:58.890] Like a bright, tragic blue eye
[01:03.780] Why I left I can't say why
[01:07.830] I can't say why
[01:54.000] Say hello to Boundary County for me
[01:58.890] She's prettier than dreams
[02:02.6990] If you've been someplace so far away
[02:06.229] Then you really seen some things
[02:09.899] Those miles and miles of steel rails
[02:14.698] Are a one-way track
[02:18.250] And no matter how hard I try
[02:21.891] I never make it back
[02:31.450] I miss those violet hills
[02:36.458] And the sweet smell of fields
[02:40.369] Reach their arms out so wild
[02:44.189] Like haven's only bride
[02:48.899] Why I left I can't say why
[02:52.799] I can't say why
[03:02.500] Every man severs his time
[03:05.960] I know I've done my share
[03:09.790] And when that old roll is called
[03:13.200] You will find me there
[03:20.000] If you make it up that way
[03:25.000] I don't get around as much
