Astronaut 03:26
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.

Mason jars to count the stars Morning comes to bring the rain Brick on brick life just aint the same Rollin hills and skys so blue Now belong to yesterday Brick on brick life just aint the same Watching smoke (rise and rise in front of me) Drift away (amber chokes as the sun light fades) From a lit cigarette to the lips of the sun at the end of the day With good friends time never seems to end It’s hard not to appreciate The sun shine but it’s much to late How do you know when its time to go When there’s nothing left to celebrate The sun shines but my soul still aches Watching smoke (rise and rise in front of me) Drift away (amber chokes as the sun light fades) From a lit cigarette to the lips of the sun at the end of the day Brick on brick, life just aint the same.

Palm trees and evergreens and all the things I’ve never seen The city wears and tears The city wears and tears rest stops and valleys spare change in alleys city lines and everything in between The places I’ll go the things that I’ll see never really mattered that much to me See the way the concrete plays So many folds I seem vague Leaning on the wall last call and it’s the death of me Rest stops and valleys Spare change in alleys City lines and everything in between The places I’ll go the things that I’ll see never really mattered that much to me I’m leaving home I won't come back I won't come back I won’t come back Highways and center lines No better way to pass the time and its time to breathe Yeah, it's time to breathe Rest stops and valleys Spare change in alleys City lines and everything in between The places I’ll go the things that I’ll see never really mattered that much to me I’m leaving home I won't come back I won't come back I won’t come back Pack my bags with plans of leaving. Fill it up with all that I need. Say goodbye to all the empty. Headed off to a new beginning. I’m leaving home I won't come back I won't come back I won’t come back

Smokin' 04:14
You know those guns, women, cigarettes can’t stop you from falling down Said I only smoke when I’m awake but baby I’m awake all the time It’s only worth it when you know you’ve crossed the line. When the plots are all the same and that dirt road calls your name I said Christ it’s a shame the weight of worry on your mind It’s only worth it when you know you’ve crossed the line It’s only worth it when you know you’ve crossed the line A long walk from my troubles to my vice to take me away. A long walk from my troubles to my vice to take me away. A long walk from my troubles to my vice to take me away. A long walk from my troubles to my vice to take me away.

Radio 03:42
Sing with me tonight my love Sing the whole night through as soon as this night is over then I am through with you Sing to me to night my dear Sing it sad and smooth The slower the song the better don’t waste no time you fool Baby, turn off the radio the sun is coming up and I feel I have to go Baby, turn off the radio the sun is coming up and I feel I have to go I’m walking out the door my dear headed far away Take a look at what you’re missin' I aint coming back this way Maybe our paths will cross again along this old dirt road You’ll hear the song I’m singin' when you’re feelin all alone Baby, turn off the radio the sun is coming up and I feel I have to go Baby, turn off the radio the sun is coming up and I feel I have to go

about

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
