lyrics

Pardon my French, but maybe I'm wrong.
I'll never change the world with a tune and song
Who am I to dream a about life far away
With the sinners and the winners, the loved and the stray

Pardon my French, but maybe I'm mistaken
The world doesn't need another child to awaken
Who am I to dream with a mind so puny
As a snot nosed kid from the backwoods of Buena

Oh no, Oh no
This kid's made up his mind now
I know, I know
Hallelujah life goes on and on and on

Pardon my French, but isn't it so
We were told to love each other years ago
No ifs, ands, or buts, there's no exception
You love 'em or you hate 'em cut the lies and deception

Pardon my French, but what does it mean
If the flag I wave so proudly only flies for me
scream in my face, but is it not true
This blood that we've shed isn't red or blue

Oh no, oh no
This man's made up his heart now
I know, I know
Hallelujah life goes on and on

Pardon my French, but why are we here
If not to hold each other in the times of fear
Say what you want, but here lies the truth
There's a love that is meant for me and you
There's a peace that is greater than you ever knew
It'll fill you up and through and through
I'm talkin about a grace that, no matter who
Overflows your heart and keeps you too

about

Caleb Christopher Edwards Nashville, Tennessee

Edwards mixes his folksy tenor, ringing melodies, and melodic poetry in a glass to toast as an earthy, American cocktail. Lyrics of hope, doubt, and wonder ground his songs like muddled sugar while his swift, peaty mandolin garnishes the glass rim. While Edwards’ spirit is smooth, it ignites a fire that audiences can carry for a lifetime: a truly refreshing glass of American folk music. ... more
