Ah love that resonator sound. Great job! Chords and lyrics below folks! Standard tuning, no capo Intro Em G D G Verses G / G / G / Em G / D G Interlude G / G / G / Em G / D G / Em G / D G [Intro] [Verse 1] Life's hard to handle You can't hold a candle It's lost in the bramble Lord knows I'm bound to ramble Lord knows I'm bound to ramble [Verse 2] Lost along the way boys Leaving no choice Follow that voice Got lost along the way boys Lost along the way boys [Interlude] [Verse 3] Livin' the old way Far from the highway Country's been pain But I still walk a third lane Still walk a third lane [Verse 4] The storm moves among us And it kicks up the field dust Rain brings zeros Sun makes the crop blush Sun makes the crop blush [Interlude] [Verse 1] Life's hard to handle You can't hold a candle It's lost in the bramble And that road made of gravel is a hard road to travel Road made of gravel is a hard road to travel
very nice fellas. refreshing, old timey country song. livin the old way, far from the highway.. that's all i'm trying to do, but shit's getting harder for sure.
Ben’s newer musical direction is much closer to the roots that he often gives credit to as his musical inspiration- It’s a pretty big departure from his Lost Dog sound and it isn’t for everyone.

Heavily agree on this!
Gems on Vhs heartworn highways.
I've always thought that they should do a heartworn highways type thing.
@@codylarson3785take my money already
Please tell me this is gonna be released on something soon. Would love to see you both in the Buffalo NY area. Come on up
Love the twang. Your voices compliment each other nicely. 👍✝️🐎🌄
WOOOOO how am I seeing this for the first time on here!!! They were staying at my house when they wrote this!
These boys have the voice of the American spirit
THISSSSSS! We need more of this! AND definitely more of Ben playing banjo again! We love you guys!
Ah love that resonator sound. Great job!
Chords and lyrics below folks!
Standard tuning, no capo
Intro Em G D G
Verses G / G / G / Em G / D G
Interlude G / G / G / Em G / D G / Em G / D G
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Life's hard to handle
You can't hold a candle
It's lost in the bramble
Lord knows I'm bound to ramble
Lord knows I'm bound to ramble
[Verse 2]
Lost along the way boys
Leaving no choice
Follow that voice
Got lost along the way boys
Lost along the way boys
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Livin' the old way
Far from the highway
Country's been pain
But I still walk a third lane
Still walk a third lane
[Verse 4]
The storm moves among us
And it kicks up the field dust
Rain brings zeros
Sun makes the crop blush
Sun makes the crop blush
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
Life's hard to handle
You can't hold a candle
It's lost in the bramble
And that road made of gravel is a hard road to travel
Road made of gravel is a hard road to travel
Always a good day with new music from Ben. Almost helps me forget I just broke my ankle an hour ago.
Feel better!

As good as it gets
Ben’s pulling off the bolo tie
Anyone know what type of dog that is? Rescued one and that’s the closest looking one ive seen to mine
👍
We definitely need a new album from barefoot serrander
Ben’s newer musical direction is much closer to the roots that he often gives credit to as his musical inspiration- It’s a pretty big departure from his Lost Dog sound and it isn’t for everyone.

Ben looking chisled
Uknwhatimtakinbout???
