Connect with Eric:

Lyrics:
I left my home, as a young man
Still a boy, truth be told
Took my guitar, my troubled heart
An’ hit the road

I made my way, cross an ocean
In search of somewhere to belong
Just a young buck
An’ travelin’ on

I made my home, in the North Country Far
At a time where very few people there looked like me
Made good friends, who were kind to a stranger
An’ his family

Some say I was born with a silver spoon
In my mouth
People you know, I’ve paid some dues
Born to play the guitar
All around the world
Born to sing the blues

I settled down
Got a straight job
Played my music on the side

Put food on the table
I paid the rent
But I was not satisfied

Pawned my guitar
So many times
So many times, it’s a shame
But I kept on playin’, singin’ my songs
’Til the people knew my name
You know my name

Some say I was born with a silver spoon
In my mouth
People you know, I’ve paid my dues
Born to play the guitar
All around the world
Born to sing the blues
Born to sing the blues
