Back where I come from
Men were hard and the women were tough
Life was never easy
But they had enough
They did what they had to do
There were no in-betweens
It’s just one of
Those unspoken things
My daddy’s dad
Didn’t leave him much
Except to care for his mother
And to be a good son
And I don’t ask
About the past or what it means
It’s just one of
Those unspoken things
Year after year
It piles up
Generations pass down
The baggage of
Holding on to
What you feel and think
And we carry them on
Those unspoken things
Back where I come from
We take a lot of pride
In saying we say
Just what’s on our minds
But there‘s so much we keep
Inside instead of coming clean
And we carry them on
Those unspoken things

A huge record for me. It helped me find a language to articulate what I wanted to say with my music. Bill is one of the best songwriters out there. You'll never be disappointed. Brent Stewart
