Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

Billy Strings

Turmoil & Tinfoil (Album)

[Verse 1]
You can't stop us from movin'
You can't stop us from feelin' fine
You can't stop us from puttin' our lives on the line

[Verse 2]
You can't stop us from dancin'
You can't stop us from feelin' high
We can't help it if we'd like to stay out all night

[Verse 3]
It's a cure for the bleakness
It's a pill for the day-to-day
It's just a way for me to shake loose the dust and the clay

[Chorus]
I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine

[Verse 4]
While we're young and resilient
While fearless and fancy free
We'll be fine without you and your numbers and lines

[Verse 5]
While we're wishing and watching
While we're wishing and watching here
We won't see your illusional blanket of fear

[Verse 6]
Like a wave through the ocean
Like a gust on an August
While we're movin' you won't stand a chance in our way

[Chorus]
I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine

[Verse 7]
Should've been gone for years now
You should've packed up and left this place
You should've ducked out and given up your spot in the race

[Verse 8]
You can cling to your madness
You can swim down and hold your breath
But I'll be standing on dry ground with all of the rest

[Chorus]
I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
