lyrics

Threads for Kindness
by Jodie Jean Marston

California cowgirl can ride as hard as any.
I was born with calloused hands, I know how to make a pretty penny.
How’d I get down in Alabama, I got no trouble finding trouble.
I ain’t no good, just good at fixing my mistakes

~Threads for kindness,
pins that hold,
heat that presses each and every fold
past fields of patchwork
prairies of hard dirt
needle and thread ain’t so simple livin’ out on the road

Wilderness inside my head was bigger than a blanket stitched
with all the kudzu the south could grow
As I began to travel the knots all came unraveled
and I started to make something new, outta that old yarn

~

Tangles untwisted, shadow lay down where acloth was lifted
I kinda like being under a blanket all alone
Shades of cold came quilted down, one by one in rows of stitches
Bless my mama, she taught me how to fix em'

~

Darn and sew, darn and sew
My way home, my way home
This I know, I had to go
Finding out who I am
driving outta B’ham

~instrumental

I was finding out who I am
driving outta B’ham
