Notes: Written on the train coming back from Denali. I recommend the upper deck.

lyrics

The State Trooper told me yesterday, “time to be headin’ south.
Winter’s come on early, and everybody’s headin’ out.”
I thanked him for his time, his genuine empathy
But winter brings on other things that are waiting here for me

I got no thoughts about tomorrow
Can’t put a name upon your town
warm hearts and old bandanas
That’s how a good man gets around
That’s how a good man gets around

Saw her face in the Northern Lights, her eyes at Telluride
Heard her voice in all its meekness in the canyon down at Bryce

But my clothes are torn and tattered
Someone else’s lost and found
Warm hearts and old bandanas
That’s how a good man gets around
That’s how a good man gets around

I don’t mind the moving, or the memories of my past
I don’t mind the face I see, scraping snow off of the glass

But the streets are paved with people,
and I’m turnin’ back around
Warm hearts and old bandanas
That’s how a good man gets around
That’s how a good man gets around
