Biography:
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Austin Lucas was taught how to sing by his musician father Robert Lucas before he could even speak. At home or in the car, his family would sing and make music. They would travel throughout the summertime to folk, bluegrass and old time music festivals where his father would perform every year.
As Lucas became old enough to attend school, he also was sent to the Indiana University Children's Choir to hone his gift of singing.

Shoulders by Austin Lucas from Somebody Loves You
Standard tuning
verse 1
Em C hammer on the D string, walk the A string down to the next G chord
Someone had stolen me, And choked the life I crave
G D
On a pale horse he did ride, And sing my songs
Em C
I touched you then and feared, That the dark would spread indeed
G D
And leave hollow shells of friends and strangers all
F C G
But still I bore the gift of life, somehow
Em C
And you?d ask me, If my breast was filled with embers or with ash
G D
Was hope or but despair upon my crown
Em C
Mother, sweet mother don?t you worry on your son
G D
For my heart contains a fire that shall burn long
chorus
C D
And I shall lay my head
G F# Em
In the valley with my friends
C D Em
I?ll quit my scheming ways and rest again
C D
Cause I shall lay my head
G F# Em
On the shoulders of great men
C D G
And live my life until its honest end
G D G then go into the second verse, same as the first
verse 2
And so brick by brick I tell myself
Oh, slowly build a home
Anchor now before the storm rolls on
Found a new Jerusalem and build your wailing wall
But seek not the sea and life wandering alone
chorus x2
Oh yes lay your head
In the valley with your friends
Oh quit your scheming ways and rest again
Oh yes lay your head
On the shoulders of great men
And live your life until its honest end
Oh yes lay your head
On the shoulders of great men
And live your life until its honest end.
