I wish I could remember how I came across this song, but I don't. What I do know is that this song just punches me right in the gut every time I give it a listen.
I am an orphan/On God's highway/But I'll share my troubles/If you go my way
If that opening lyric doesn't make you feel something, check your pulse.
Their is such a sense of resiliency and hope in this song. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings voices work beautifully together to evoke that. I also love the sound they get from the guitar on this one.
This youtube video does a wonderful job capturing the faces of these fragile souls. May God bless and keep each and every soul that is alone in this world in his loving embrace.
