Wall, Colter - Living On The Sand Lyrics






Leave them lights as they are
And keep your clothes on, I've had
More than my fill
Of whiskey and women
And good-hearted villains, but there's a
Wickedness in me still
Keep that gun locked away
Locked away boy
Well you know you're an angry young man
Going in town with six rounds
You're sure to be hell bound
That house you've got is built on the sand

I've been living on the sand
Don't take much to guide my hand
Far from promised land
On the sand

Don't look twice, look twice at that bottle
You'll claim that Jesus turned the water to wine
You'll be wishing that wine you were drinking was water
When you're jumping the bridge in the night
Forgive me, forgive me
Don't it sound more clear when I'm
Screaming day after day
I've lost all my patience
I'm wasted on waiting on
Making my next mistake

I've been living on the sand
Don't take much to guide my hand
Far from promised land
On the sand
I've been living on the sand
Don't take much to guide my hand
Far from promise land
On the sand

  1. A.... C....

    My god the soul in this song and in his voice gives me chills

  2. S.... 1....

    What style of guitar playing is at 1:20 because it reminds me of old westerns and I'd love to hear more music like this. Keep it coming Colter! You have the most amazing music and I'm glad my generation has true country still!

    FINALLY some old timey sound coming back. I heard this at Basin Creek today, this guy was playing it on a speaker, he was young and had a long beard with a hat just watching the swim area. I was swimming it all just fit so well with the water flowing like something out of an old movie.

  7. A.... S....

    This guy is amazing...this song is SO for a road trip 😍

  8. K.... G....

    I hope TBone Burnett produces his next album.  Steve Earl would just fuck it up.   You listenin' TBone???????

  9. B.... V....

  10. K.... A....

  12. T.... m....

  16. R.... E....

    already mixing with dead south! this guy is pure gold! give it a year or less and I'll be hearing this CD on the radio!

  17. L.... B....

    I wonder how many people listen to this song and don't understand the biblical reference.

    L.... B....

    I honestly don’t care if it’s biblical or not, sounds good

    L.... B....

    skiboot steeze boot watch out everyone we’ve got a badass over here

    L.... B....

    skiboot steeze boot regardless if you are Christian or believe in whatever doesn’t matter. Objectively the Bible is one great piece of literature and has many great stories which can be used as motivation for music, or just to live as a better person. You don’t have to believe everything it says. I don’t. But it has many great things to offer. If you’re so small minded as to just say “fuck the Bible who cares” then you just don’t offer anything to society. Let people believe what they want to believe and don’t be such an asshole about it.

    L.... B....

    C 17 *cough cough* Exodus 21 *cough cough*

    L.... B....

    Mitchell Burke exactly I agree . Christian or not the biblical references are deep and make the songs that use them better .

  18. D.... S....

    this cat is going to be a big name one day you just wait

    D.... S....

    I think kate mcannon will come up first if people stop taking offense to the slightest things that are "politically incorrect", those people disgust me

  19. E.... K....

    too bad we can't have the opportunity to store this voice to a warm vinyl record

    E.... K....

    I believe Colter does have this album on Vinyl, but it's out of stock

    E.... K....

    Why not that technology still exists

    E.... K....

    My mans. Got myself some AMAZON VINYL!

  20. s.... ....

    I hope the next album is going to be this awesome

  21. T.... M....

    Raw and stripped down...a total sway from the norm!!! COOL SHIT!!!!

  22. a.... n....

    This artist is up there with Willie, Waylon, Townes, Cash, The Hag, and all. The real deal. I have to push down the hairs on the back of my neck, and get on with my day now.....

    a.... n....

    abb nohrmall check out Joe pug. he's not outlaw country like this almost feels but he's pretty close to Dylan

    a.... n....

    Kit Cloud wow, thanks for the tip! Listened to Hymn 101, that's a wonderful song indeed.
    I seem to find a lot of good music through YouTube comments these days.

    a.... n....

  23. J.... F....

    J.... F....

    don’t you just love that blues country sound, it’s like Johnny Cash and lead belly had a love child.
