Biography:
Sam Evian is a performance alias of Sam Griffin Owens, a New York-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with an affection for the mellower sounds of the '60s and '70s. Also a studio multitasker, he helped to build the Figure 8 Recording Studios in Brooklyn, and his appreciation for vintage instruments and equipment and his knowledge of the contemporary are evident in his solo work. Similarly, he counts the Band, Shuggie Otis, Cate Le Bon, and Cass McCombs (whom he's produced) among his many varied influences.

[Intro]
E Bm D A x2
[Verse]
C#7 F#m Bm
I don't feel right in society
D A
the twisted world
C#7 F#m Bm
Fuck the guns and mythologies
D A
the old time fears
D A Bm
the things we think we need
[Chorus]
E Bm
Hold on tighter to me, baby
D A
Don't let me go
E Bm
We got miles and miles of country
D A
before we're home
[Verse 2]
C#7 F#m Bm
I sing the songs that my idols sing
D A
But they're all cold
C#7 F#m Bm
and I will follow them to the grave
D A
But now we ride
D A
and we'll stay free
[Bridge]
F#m Bm
Free, like the love you gave
F#m E Bm
Free, to live out our days
[Chorus]
E Bm
Hold on tighter to me, baby
D A
Don't let me go
E Bm
We got miles and miles of country
D A
before we're home
E Bm
Hold on tighter to me, baby
D A
Don't let me go
E Bm
We got miles and miles of country
D A
before we're home
