The Prickly Pair – Wilderness | Rock music review

Lyrics of The Prickly Pair – Wilderness

The Prickly Pair – Wilderness
Followed your feet before your head
Ditched your car way out west
Burned your maps, put on your coat
Thumbed a ride to somewhere remote

Silver spoon got rusty
You gave away your trust fund money
Mama begged you not to go
Father said you’d hate the cold

Folks and friends trying to track you down
‘Cause you didn’t tell a soul you were leaving town
Fumbling across the frozen ground
When you’re finding yourself, you don’t want to be found

Cops came by to see if I
Knew just where you went and why, but I
Got your postcard in the spring
Told me not to say a thing

They came across your clothes and shoes
I saw it on the evening news
Your note betrayed no bitterness
You wasted away in the wilderness

Folks and friends trying to track you down
‘Cause you didn’t tell a soul you were leaving town
Fumbling across the frozen ground
When you’re finding yourself, you don’t want to be found

Don’t look back, they’re gaining on you
Just cut and run like you always do
Dead men don’t decide what’s true

Folks and friends trying to track you down
‘Cause you didn’t tell a soul you were leaving town
Fumbling across the frozen ground
When you’re finding yourself, you don’t want to be…

Folks and friends trying to track you down
‘Cause you didn’t tell a soul you were leaving town
Fumbling across the frozen ground
When you’re finding yourself, you don’t want to be found
You don’t want to be found
