about

Demo
After performing this song at song-writer conference, a young lady in the room approached me and said, "that was cool...what's a feral man?"

lyrics

Saddle up little girl
Go ride this world
Go git your horse
Go git your spurs
This wasted land is filled with burs
Stuck to your mind
Stuck to your furs

Did the feral man run right through ya?
Just like the holy spirit hallelujah
Just as sure as the devil’s in his mind?

Did he drink you dry and scalp your hair
Kill your colt and steal your mare
God damn it’s time to leave that all behind
Jump your horse and see what you can find

Like a feral man
like a feral man
like a feral man
rides under the sun
Like a feral man
Like a feral man
girl it’s time to shake your boots and run

Saddle up little girl
Go git this world
You've got your horse
You've got your spurs
This wasted land is filled with burs
Stuck to your mind
And who you were

And the feral man runs right through ya
Just like the holy spirit hallelujah
Just as sure as the devil’s in his mind

So why not ride like the feral run
Just like a devil into the sun
Use that burn to fan another flame
And use the power of the feral game
Like feral man
Like a feral man
Like a feral man the law could never tame
Like a feral man, like a feral man, like a feral man
Wants no other name
