LYRICS
(by Andrew Lee)

My canteen is full of candour. 
but that’s something I cannot contain 
I had fun when you had me once 
but your cup is downed and drained 

I know I’m a wild young thing 
dark horse that no man can tame 
I had fun when you let me run 
but you couldn’t grasp the reins 

you had me once in those thirty months 
you had me once in those thirty months 

all the weed that you could muster 
our conversations so sedate 
I had fun when you showed me once 
but I miss your sober face 

All our fields were fit and fickle 
but you took your sickle to make hay 
I had fun when you had me once 
but you left our fallowed plain 

you had me once in those thirty months 
you had me once in those thirty months 

It came down to you or the fiddle 
and I chose wisely I chose fair 
There was no room to meet in the middle 
so I chose the rosin and horse hair 

you had me once in those thirty months 
you had me once in those thirty months 

It came down to you or the fiddle 
and I chose wisely I chose fair 
There was no room to meet in the middle 
so I chose the rosin and horse hair

As we see our songs grow and change, we often forget their humble beginnings. For our song Rosin and Horsehair, we meticulously saved and recorded all the versions of this song, from a honky-tonk MIDI file to the final mastered product. Doing this, we came to appreciate how much work we put into the song after each step.

Here it is! Please follow along with the description below while you listen this compilation. 
Hint: whenever you hear a hawk screeching, that signifies a change in version!
