Lost Dog Street Band - Survived

To Rate
Verse 1
Wading again on the wrong side of low
Calling my courage from the comforts I know
Easy to lust and harder to hold
Don’t take it for granted, you reap what you sow

Chorus
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?

Verse 2
The loneliest people that I’ve ever seen
Live in the current of Babylon’s dream
Surrounded by idols where no one believes
Lost in the title no roots on their feet

Chorus
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?

I carry some burdens too fragile to mold
I wear them like diamonds though they’re worthless as stones
At times it’s a gamble who’s in control
But never afraid for the sake of my soul

Chorus
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?
Lord, I have survived

And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?

Lost Dog Street Band

“Lost Dog Street Band was created in the winter of 2010 after a long and bitterly cold trek on foot to Tennessee. Splitting paths from their former project Barefoot Surrender, Benjamin Tod and Ashley Mae set out to craft their own original music as a duet. Drawing on inspiration of hard times on the road, personal tragedy, the power of love (and of course their dog) Benjamin continued on with a long legacy of songwriting that cuts to the quick. Knitting together musical influences from traditional country, old time, and blues Ashley Mae and Benjamin began to refine what is their original take on American storytelling songs. With their packs, fiddle, guitar, banjo, and pup they set out on foot traveling coast to coast by hopping freight, and hitchhiking with the vision of sharing their music. Along the way, they met many inspirational musicians. Amongst them was Nicholas and Shannon Ridout with whom they formed the project Spit Shine in the year 2012. After the tragic loss of their dear friend Nicholas, Lost Dog Street Band hit the road in search of solice and a deep seated need to continue sharing music as a source of comfort. Today, Benjamin and Ashley have made a home in the country side of Tennessee, working the land and carrying on their lives as full-time musicians. As they tour regularly, perhaps you will see them roaming across the country in their van with their dog Copper.” -via Lost Dog’s Official Facebook
