lyrics

I was born in California
The northern territory’s where I’m from
I was raised in the country
But the city is where I make my home

I wash my hands in the Feather River
Feel its cool, cool water on my face
And the “O” on Table Mountain
Is like a beacon calling me back to this place

The foothills and the gold mines
They map out the story of my youth
Till I rambled on down I-5
Seeking out my own kind of truth

I was born in California
Butte County is where it is I’m from
I was raised in the country
But the city is where I make my home

I spent some years in Hollywoodland
They all thought I was a hillbilly son
But when I’d go back to my hometown
They all thought I was as city as they come

So I travelled as a troubadour
Put my heart out on the line for a song
Till I had that old heart broken
Don’t seem a place left where I belong

I was born in California
The northern territory’s where I’m from
I was raised in the country
But the city is where I make my home

You won’t catch me fightin’
My only weapon’s a paper and a pen
Spinnin’ yarns of disenchantment
For all of us that don’t quite fit in

Here on the bank of the Tennessee River
I ain’t seen the Golden State in so long
So I take another pull of whiskey
And write out the last line of this song

I was born in California
Butte County is where it is I’m from
I was raised in the country
But the city is where I make my home

Stewart Eastham Nashville, Tennessee

Stewart Eastham takes his music in bold new directions with his third full length solo album "The Great Silence". This release takes on the metaphysical realm exploring grand themes of life, death, and rebirth. While not technically a “concept” album, it feels like one with its repeating themes and motifs.

Eastham is based in Nashville, TN and was born and raised in rural Northern California. ... more
