Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

[Intro]
D D D G D D D A
[Verse 1]
D G
A horse needs to run, a heart needs to bleed
D A
An engine can't gain the miles if it's kept pristine
D G
If the view of change is constant, just like I've been told
D A D
Is any back yard the boundless starts to all directions unknown
[Chorus]
D
Will I be there?
D D/F#
Will I be there?
D G D A D
When all the stories fade, when I am out of breath?
G Bm A G
My yoke is, your yoke is... restin' on our shoulders and we share the weary load
G Bm A
My yoke is, your yoke
A G
We're just like two aging truckers down the road

[Verse 2]
D G
Children of our parents, a storybook held close
D A
A mom and dad's heart-felt work is work down to the bone
D G
And the leveraging meant everything, so a palace for a home
D A D
The remains of the day - were never shown, never known
[Chorus]

Will I be there?

[Verse 3]
D G
We now work in reverse, we salvage and we save
D A
We fight the rust, one if by land, two if by grace
D G
Sure as the spring will hail the greenest in all things
D A D
Let the freshest of our love set sail and float the open breeze
[Final Chorus]
