about

A song about finding home. It merges the acoustic and electric sides of my music, featuring banjo, mandolin, and acoustic guitar coupled with electric guitars, bass, and drums. "I finally found a place where I could stay, and I threw my shoes away."

lyrics

Shoes Away
(words and music by Sam Pointer)

I’ve been traveling a long time
Searching for to find my home
Town after town made me welcome
But every time I had to roam
That’s how I know that something was driving me onwards
Every night, good people, and every day
That’s how I know that something had a hold on me
Well I finally found a place where I could stay
And I threw my shoes away

Checked out the towns in the mountains
Saw the cities by the sea
It’s hard to say what was missing
But I knew somewhere was missing me
That’s how I know that something was driving me onwards
Every night, good people, and every day
That’s how I know that something had a hold on me
Well I finally found a place where I could stay
I finally found a place where I could stay
And I threw my shoes away

So I was traveling for so long
Floating like a honeybee
But only when I stopped searching
I turned around and it found me
That’s how I know that something was driving me onwards
Every night, good people, and every day
That’s how I know that something had a hold on me
Well I finally found a place where I could stay
I finally found a place where I could stay
I finally found a place where I could stay
And I threw my shoes away
I threw my shoes away
Threw ‘em away
I threw my shoes away
