My daddy was a carpenter
My mama was a maid
They moved us to a hollow house
1990 New Years Day
Had a barn out in the back
And a garden in the front
As long as we agreed to make repairs they’d
Only charge 100 bucks a month
So my mama got to painting
She hung the curtains up
My daddy built a whole ‘nother room
Just for letting in the sun
We couldn’t keep the critters out
The heat it wouldn’t stay
In the winter you could trace tiny hearts on
The inside of my frozen window pane
I knew I was a poor little girl
I could hear the things they say
But I felt rich, wild, and free
Running through the fields of Colorado sage

This record epitomizes the beauty, love, and sincerity that define Laura Stevenson as an artist. She keeps it honest, doesn't flinch at sadness and rage—but she also considers joy. She doesn't despair. Neither should we. Not while we can listen to music like this. djuss
