lyrics

I could be an astronaut
the space that I take up
Or a cowboy riding endlessly until the sun has had enough.
Weightless in my waking life, twisting with the stars
A horizon filled with city lights makes the landscape cold and hard.

I try so very hard
to be the best I can
and love with all my heart
at every chance I get
If I fall back down
If I fall back down again
I'll brush my self right off and stand up tall while facing all prevailing winds.

I could be in Wisconsin diggin’ in the dirt
or on top a mountain in Vermont looking down on to the earth
All that time that gravity has been tuggin’ at my shoes makes me want to fly away so far into the sky so big and blue.

I try so very hard
to be the best I can
and love with all my heart
at every chance I get
If I fall back down
If I fall back down again
I'll brush my self right off and stand up tall while facing all prevailing winds.

So no no don’t you worry
Some day I’ll settle down
but this fire in my belly
is burning hot right now
'cause I’m wandering.

Cask Mouse Boston, Massachusetts

We do this because we love to. There are no rules in Cask Mouse. You want to get your “outlaw” on, do it. You need a ballad, get it. Got the urge to shake your hips, shake em’. Cask Mouse is about connection. Connection to each other, to the audience, to our instruments, to the past and to the future. We show up clean and early, we leave late and dirty. ... more
