About HOME:
Billy Strings has been hailed as the future of bluegrass, transcending tradition and genre with his high velocity, flat-picking guitar technique and intense, confessional songwriting. HOME, Strings’ remarkable second studio album, is undoubtedly the Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist’s bravest excursion thus far, completely rewiring bluegrass with elements of punk, country, folk rock, and genuine psychedelic exploration to fashion something altogether his own. Strings has infused the aesthetic with his own experiences and inspirations, adopting traditional sonic and lyrical idioms to confront contemporary social truths. With guest appearances from the likes of Jerry Douglas and Molly Tuttle and produced by Glenn Brown (Greensky Bluegrass, Marcus Miller), HOME marks a landmark on Billy Strings’ ongoing creative journey, its fearless songs and freewheeling approach recasting string-based American music in his own inimitable image.

LYRICS

I’m running I’m running as fast as I can go
I’m running Im running from all the things I know
I had to leave it somewhere so I left it far behind
I had to get away from all the trouble I might find

Run to the river
Run to the sea
Run from the evil that’s been calling you and me
If we keep rolling
Right out of town
We’ll reach the promised land before they tear it down

I’m running I’m running just like a fast mail train
I’m running I’m running and I won’t be back again
Nobody ever told me I’d be riding on the blind
The rumble and the rattle seem to ease my worried mind

Run to the river
Run to the sea
Run from the evil that’s been calling you and me
If we keep rolling
Right out of town
We’ll reach the promised land before they tear it down
