This song was recorded for two brothers who are looking for Christopher Robin sized adventures, by two not brothers who are looking for the same. It was recorded in a back bedroom in Central California next to two sleeping dog sisters, one of whom had to work very hard not to howl along, and the other who did not sweat it out, which is why the two are perfectly paired to be each others' sister.
lyrics
Who said don't move an inch
Who said don't rock the boat
I got a good plan for a short fuse on a long day
And if we get it right
More likely if we don't
I'd rather sink and swim than hurry up and wait
Oh, my, me, oh brother we're up to our muddy knees again
I got a hatching plan
You got a faint idea
We got a box and a backyard bigger than the ocean gonna set sail
We'll double back again
When the sun gets pale
Let's startle out the stars with a howl and a long tail
Oh, my, me, oh brother we're up to our muddy knees again
Who's gonna sit this one out? (Not me, not me!)
Who's gonna stay and forget about it? (Not me, not!)
When I've got a friend and a dog and a big ol' world to look around...
We gotta run!
Oh, we gotta run.
Let's pack the dirt back down
On our coyote run
Cuz we got five more minutes 'till the lights turn out.
Oh, my, me, oh brother we're up to
Oh, my, me, oh brother we're up to
Oh, my, me, oh brother we're up to our muddy knees again

The song Shelli speaks to my heart, the story just tears me down and the voice builds me back up. A beautiful album which encapsulates SIAD!!! coachshipley
their songwriting and delivery is so authentic, it really makes me feel like I am there in a room with them maybe with a small group of people, that everything is going to be okay, we can share our hopes and our sorrows with each other. we will love again. youngrichhomeless
