Now, uh, thanks for comin' out and actin' like you like me
Name's Cory Branan, I'm from here, born here. Only cause the hospitals suck in Mississippi so my mom drove up
And uh, I was raised in north Mississippi, moved here when I was twenty-- It doesn't matter this is all boring
But I'm sort of from here, and I'm not from here anymore, I live down in Austin (Yeah!) Yeah, woo!
So I'm just gonna play songs, thanks Ardent for havin' me. Great to be in this room, as always. Lotta cool stuff, lotta cool stuff, man
That's all coming to an end right now, for the next 30 minutes
Lemme start with some sweet stuff if that's okay
I'll tune after this one, this is a song about my girl, they gеt less sweet as they go

[Verse 1]
I am following a compass that is always pointed South
Evеrybody says it's busted and sometimes I have my doubts
But it led me through the wilderness
It led me to a town
It led me to your love and it has yet to let me down
I guess it gets as cold at night
She don't strum my blood with light
She lines my coat with kites
Oh, she lines my coat with kites
Boy, she

[Verse 2]
Frozen rooftop podunk bar
She rose tiptoes poking stars
Singing someone screwed the sky too tight
I laughed and filled my lungs with light
I wish I may
Wish I might
She lined my coat with kites
Boy, she
[Verse 3]
She gotta sad little fiddle
She draws that bad bow down
I'm gonna sail away on that land locked sound
She's got a ship and a bottle
Boys, what'll it be?
God speed to the bottom of the bottomless sea
One.. Two..
And I guess it gets as cold at night
If she don't strum my blood with light
She lined my coat with kites
Oh, she lines my coat with kites
Boy, she

[Verse 4]
I've been following a compass that is always pointing South
Everybody said it's busted and sometimes I had my doubts
But it led me through the wilderness
It led me to a town
It led me to your love
And it has yet to let me down
Yet to let me down

[Spoken]
Alright...
