about

A time comes in everyone’s life when they outgrow folks around them and Cottonwood Boys casts a positive light on this change, stating that the world is “just too big not to go see.” This swift contemporary bluegrass breakup song is for more than just lovers, as it was written as Tom and Clayton had just parted ways with a long-time country artist and friend.

lyrics

The only man that you'll ever truly know
Is the one hidden behind your eyes
Even the ones that we love live on borrowed time
Be kind, tell them no lies
Never waste your breath on stubborn ears
You'll drown in the ocean of those that won’t hear
Each of us carries our own weight to bear
Time moves quickly, it’s a passionate affair

So long so fast
But please understand
It’s you and me
And a world that’s just too big not to go see
I know
We wander and we roam
And this is the end
I’ll see you on the other side my friend


There ain’t a single thing that we take when we depart
A name is all we leave behind
And it’ll never walk its way into your hands
It’s out there for you to go find
Only fools build towers in their name
The stones know whose blood in which they are stained
Only strong hands can fully build a wall
The ones who hide behind it are crushed when they fall

So long so fast
But please understand
It’s you and me
And a world that’s just too big not to go see
I know
We wander and we roam
And this is the end
I’ll see you on the other side my friend
I’ll see you on the other side my friend


So long so fast
But please understand
It’s you and me
And a world that’s just too big not to go see
I know
We wander and we roam
And this is the end
I’ll see you on the other side my friend

I’ll see you on the other side my friend

From the oily floors of the garage to the sticky counters of the bar, the Cottonwood Boys sound speaks to anyone who's wondering "Where is a song about me?"

Bluegrass? Alt Country? Mountain Music? They aren't sure.

In fact, they are too busy trying to sell a song or find a meal to really care but they'll hear you out.
