What He Don’t Own

This song blends progressive bluegrass with a cosmic jam-band spirit, carrying the listener from raw confessions of struggle into triumphant redemption. Soulful vocals ride over fast flatpicking guitar, banjo, and fiddle, weaving in and out of spacious, psychedelic instrumental breaks. The lyrics anchor the journey with faith and resilience, while the music stretches outward into hypnotic improvisation before snapping back with hard-driving bluegrass fire.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Loved the world, loved life, loved Jesus
Went down in the water, came up with a new lease
Nobody told me the devil chases what he don’t own
Fell to the shadows of the great unknown

Chorus
But I found my way through the fire and rain
Laid down the burden, the anger, the pain
Just like the good book says, I know
Train up a child and the truth will grow

Verse 2
Ran so hard, thought I’d never be free
Dark roads tried to get the best of me
But a seed was planted, it never let go
Grace kept calling through the ebb and flow

Chorus
And I found my way through the fire and rain
Laid down the burden, the anger, the pain
Just like the good book says, I know
Train up a child and the truth will grow

Bridge (instrumental)

Verse 3
Now I walk in light, I walk in peace
The chains all broke, my soul’s released
What the devil can’t claim, he’ll never own
I’m bound for glory when I head on home

Final Chorus
Yes I found my way through the fire and rain
Laid down the burden, the anger, the pain
Just like the good book says, I know
Train up a child and the truth will grow

Outro
