Steep Canyon Rangers - Lay Myself Down

Copied!

It’s the firing line
This cursed space
By my side
Must be a hard luck place
No one ever did stay
Never stayed too long
Just long enough
To go all wrong
Where the rest had failed
You stood this ground

{Chorus}
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

O my love
It’s time you know
So listen close and let it go
I’ll wear these chains
Like a shining crown

{Chorus}
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

Where tomorrow leads
I cannot go
That path is for your steps alone
Shed no more tears
Upon this ground

{Chorus}
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

So leave your guns
Smoking at the gate
We’ll never be free 'til we’re free from hate
When I’d lost faith
It was you I found

{Chorus}
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
Lay myself down

The Steep Canyon Rangers are a progressive bluegrass band that was formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1999. The band was initially comprised of Graham Sharp on banjo and harmony vocals, Woody Platt on guitar and lead vocals, and Charles R. Humphrey III on bass and harmony vocals. The trio met while attending the University of North Carolina and bonded over their shared love of acoustic music.

As they began playing impromptu jam sessions together, the group found themselves drawn to the traditional sounds of bluegrass music. Their sound continued to evolve when mandolin player Mike Guggino joined the band, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep love for the genre.

The band's big break came in 2009 when actor and banjo player Steve Martin joined forces with them, giving them a major boost in popularity. The collaboration with Martin helped bring the Steep Canyon Rangers to a wider audience, allowing them to showcase their unique blend of traditional bluegrass and modern influences.

With their impressive musicianship and heartfelt songwriting, the Steep Canyon Rangers have become a staple in the bluegrass music scene. They continue to tour and record music, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and infectious sound.
