about

I wrote this song back in 2013 after being homeless in Ottawa and Kingston for the summer. That whole experience changed my life in many ways, I did alot of crazy shit and I met alot of crazy ppl that summer. This song was a humble reflection of what my life was like at that time, on my journey I knew the road ahead was not an easy one but I was very well aware that others I met along the way had it much, much more worse.
Almost 10 years later of performing this song as my opener to my sets, Cody McDusa recorded me while staying on a friends couch, he added in all the extra sounds and it was the first time this song has shined as bright as I knew it could. His vision for producing this track really helped this song reach it's true potential.

lyrics

Simple words are so easily said
Simple Guitar chords get stuck in my head
I'm praying the hungry are soon to be fed
I'm hoping the homeless find a new home instead

Don't worry, Don't worry, Don't worry about me
I'm home for an evening then I'm gone to be free
Don't worry, Don't worry, Don't worry about us,
I'm out on the road and then I'm back on bus x4

I'm hoping this whole world doesn't tear us apart
Sometimes ya just don't know how to restart
I don't know where I'm going, I don't know how far
But if home is where the heart is, then I don't have a heart

Don't worry, Don't worry, Don't worry about me
I'm home for an evening then I'm gone to be free
Don't worry, Don't worry, Don't worry about us,
I'm out on the road and then I'm back on bus x4
To go back home
