Together we are lost

Written & Performed by: Jack Mantis

We recorded this country song by Jack Mantis in Nashville, New York, Chicago and Toronto. In the movie you can see the birth of the song in our old school bus in Nashville.

Lyrics:

Well you win some oh and you loose some you ain’t never the same
When your heart is on your sleeve and you lay your hat to blame
It gets lonely in the saddle and my pony has grow old
Been far too many nights my darlin’ left out in the cold
and together we are lost

I got used to all those swinging doors
Those dusty towns and the brothel whores
I guess it’s time I settled the score, and the weight that I have lost
She’ll be anything oh you want her if you whisper in her ear
And if you close your eyes real tight Oh she might just feel like home

I’ll go back and rest a living from that big old cypress swamp
Oh and you know that I’ll die happy if I want
Cause I done and lived a good life can’t run water back upstream
No you can’t turn back the tide if you know what I mean

For this whiskey bottle ain’t no way to seek
this dream that I’ve been chasing seems oh far to out of reach
I wanna go back onto the range and the pleasures of her soul
I wanna taste her bitter sweetness
Oh how I wanna go home

So if I reach the gates of heaven I’ll hang my head down low
I’ll ask the lords forgiveness to have mercy on my soul
And just maybe then my darlin’ I might be the betterman
And I might even have the chance again to hold your precious hand(s)
Oh and together we are lost

Oh so I left town, couldn’t take no more
Found myself where I was before
and I..watched the sweet sun go down
with my eyes wide open yeh

It took some time to find my way home
Oh never once did I feel so alone
when I..realised my faith was stronger than before

Cause you win some oh you loose some
oh you ain’t never the same
when heart is on your sleeve
For together oh we are lost
