The Invitation

We were driving across the Driftless on a cold and cloudy day
Through the apple orchards goin’ down Galena way
Been on the road for one week now feels like two or three
Ramblin’ round and sleeping hard ain’t what it used to be

We came upon a farmhouse set along a quiet road
Willow trees and fields ‘round a’waiting to be sowed
We had an invitation should we ever be coming through
To stop and rest awhile here so that’s what we’re gonna do

Gonna unplug – Gonna recharge
Find me a book – go for a walk out in the yard
Gonna slow down – Gonna catch up
And let go of what made living so hard

There is no phone connection here, there is no internet
But we have our imaginations and a banjo with no frets
There is no television, and no radio for news
But we have a big wide-open sky for to sing up at the moon

Gonna unplug……

But all too soon the morning comes we hit the road again
Thank you for your invitation our souls are on the mend

I got unplugged – got recharged
Found me a book and went for a walk in the yard
I got slowed down – got caught up
And let go of what made living so hard
