Lou Hazel and band pay tribute to the inimitable Townes Van Zandt.

lyrics

Well, Allison laid a hex on me
And every time I turn around
It's swimming through the air above my bed
I told Miss Higgs and she said fine
As long as you're back in your room on time
I keep you clean and the girls will keep you fed
Lay down your head with mine
You are not needed now
And we got things to do
Between the blankets made of wool
The trains roll by every half an hour
And the body can get no restin' done, that's true
So I do my best, as best I can
Thinkin' big and making plans
And wondering where them trains are rolling to
Lay down your head poor boy
And feel how the ground does move
And hear how them drivers sing
Well, goodbye friends, it's time to close
Everybody knows that's the way it goes
Where was it you lived in case I'm ever there
Well, three doors down and two behind
And it gets a little bit out of hand sometimes
Don't let it fool you into thinkin you down care
Lay down your head and fly
I'll quietly pass you by
You won't even see me go
If I thought about it long enough
I just might make some kind of move
Watchful lies are too hard on the soul
With the smoke house just across the way
And it's fog upon the light of day
That would be hard comin' up with where to go
Lay down your head poor boy
Feel how the ground does move
Hear how them drivers sing
What now, my darling one
Go find a little fun
You are not needed now

about

Lou Hazel Durham, North Carolina

Lou Hazel was born in the town of Olean, New York.
He skirted the compulsive hunting and fishing tradition held close to his father’s heart - instead cultivating a sensitivity more suited to artists and vagabonds.
His travels brought him across the country, and eventually through debilitating depression, before coming to rest with a sense of personal peace and positivity in Durham, NC.
