This song instantly captivated me so I decided to spend couch tour set break transcribing the lyrics. Corrections/suggestions welcome!

Billy introduced this song as having been inspired by a deer that he noticed shortly after moving into a new neighborhood. It had a crooked leg of unknown origin (hit by car, birth defect?). He explains that he wrote the doe off as one whose days were numbered. To his surprise, despite her disability, she appears year after year with new young fawns.

"I think it's a nice kind of reminder that we can keep on even if we got a crooked leg."

Cowritten with "my buddy Tom."

Dodging cars and dodging guns
Thinking fast cause you can't run
Taking care of little ones
Two more every spring

Your eyes are wise, your eyes are kind
A window to a different mind
You're not bound by space or time
Like a summer wind

Broken and slow
Straight and upright ain't the only way
They don't know what we know
'Bout being broken, broken doe

In the garden doing all you can
Escape the constructs made by man
Part for us to understand
But not for us to know

Just like a light from deep within
The morning dew, our next of kin
I know exactly where you've been
And where you're gonna go

Broken and slow
Straight and upright ain't the only way
They don't know what we know
'Bout being broken, broken doe

Broken and slow
Straight and upright ain't the only way
They don't know what we know
'Bout being broken, broken doe
They don't know what we know
'Bout being broken, broken doe

That’s all. Just need it. Let alex shreddddd.

Happy April fellow Billy Goat fans 🫶 Looking to make friends who enjoy BMFS as much as I dooo, and bass fishing too of course haha

Stoked about the Charlottesville 4/17 show :) ✌️

A huge thank you to all the tapers that post their recordings onto the live music archive. Savannah has already been posted from last night as has every show so far from the spring tour. thank you sooooo much for all you do to share the music with the world.

Holy hell man. Immaculate vibes inside enmarket tonight. Might be my favorite I’ve been to

In town for BMFS and would love to pick some tunes with some like minded cats! I pick Mando and my bud plays guitar, let us know! If anything you can find us on shakedown! I’ll be wearing my Jarrod Walker dye with a mandolin hahahah.

I’m still tripping balls over whatever the hell Billy and the boys did tonight. Holy cow! See y’all tomorrow.
