Granddaddy ran moonshine through these hills at night, and now she's the black sheep with a different kind of vice. Blazing My Own Trail is outlaw cosmic country at 118 BPM, crying pedal steel and fiddle weaving through acoustic guitar and stand-up bass while a psychedelic electric lead drifts between verses like smoke. It's a story-song about small-town hypocrisy told with a raw Southern twang and zero apology: they whisper at the Sunday potluck about her ways, while her cousin's popping pills the doctor signed his name to and her uncle drowns his demons every night until 2. But when she sparks this medicine, they say she's lost her mind. Funny how their poison gets a pass every damn time. The chorus lifts into pure defiance, blazing my own trail, diamonds dripping off the e-nail, blazed on Gelato and feeling fab, call it reckless, call it wrong, smoke 'em if you got 'em and pass the bong. The bridge is where the heart shows: this town will bury you in their expectations, dress you up in shame and call it salvation, but she found freedom in the garden watching over colas in the amber glow. So light one up for every black sheep breaking free. Written by Pamela Arsena. Psychedelic Sativa FM on the Pamela Arsena label.
Granddaddy ran moonshine through these hills at night Mama kept secrets she hid from the light Now I'm the black sheep with a different kind of vice Roll it, light it, everything's gonna be alright They whisper at the Sunday potluck about my ways But I learned rebellion when I got into some purple haze Judge if you want to Point your finger at my door I'm just doing what my bloodline's always done before I'm blazing my own trail Diamonds dripping off the e-nail Load it up and rip a dab Blazed on Gelato and I feel fab Call it reckless, call it wrong Smoke em if you gottem and pass the bong Yeah, I'm blazing my own trail tonight Got Strawberry Kush edibles and I'm feeling right Yeah, I'm blazing my own trail tonight Got Strawberry Kush edibles and I'm feeling right My cousin's popping pills the doctor signed his name to My uncle drowns his demons every night until 2 But when I spark this medicine they say I've lost my mind Funny how their poison gets a pass every damn time I ain't hurting nobody smoking on my porch swing Just listening to the crickets sing Save your sermon I've heard it all before Your hypocrisy don't live here anymore I'm blazing my own trail Diamonds dripping off the e-nail Load it up and rip a dab Blazed on Gelato and I feel fab Call it reckless, call it wrong Smoke em if you gottem and pass the bong Yeah, I'm blazing my own trail tonight Got Strawberry Kush edibles and I'm feeling right This town will bury you in their expectations Dress you up in shame and call it salvation But I found freedom in the garden where I learned to grow Watching over colas in the amber glow So light one up for every black sheep breaking free From small-town judgment and their bigotry I'm blazing my own trail Diamonds dripping off the e-nail Load it up and rip a dab Blazed on Gelato and I feel fab Call it reckless, call it wrong Smoke em if you gottem and pass the bong Yeah, I'm blazing my own trail tonight Got Strawberry Kush edibles and I'm feeling right Blazed on Gelato... and I feel fab Blazed on Gelato... and I feel fab
