Hazel Child Jack's beautiful, haunting voice tells timeless stories of human struggle. I love his band Dallahan, but this is a great opportunity to hear the ballads in a simple and uncluttered style.

lyrics

There’s a fella that walks in my shadow, I think
Or it might be me walking in his
And when the sun starts to set and my shadow gets longer
That fella’s command is my wish

Is there something that fella’s not telling to me
Or am I looking for reasons to cry?
When he’s shrouding my sight with a baggy or bottle
How can I look him in the eye?

[Chorus]
There’s too many things I don’t need in my pocket
There’s too many things on my mind
And the only end to this that I have in sight
Is the bottom of this glass of wine

When there’s nothing quite wrong but there’s something not right
And that fella starts loading his guns
It’s then my best friend, my lover, my muse and my idol
All walk into the same room at once

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Not all prisons have walls, some are just skin and bones
And it seems after all, that’s where he’s most at home.
But my lover and idol have far more to say,
Than that fella could ever teach me in a day.

[Chorus]
