The title comes from my long-running list of song ideas whose origins are lost to time. I pulled out all four of my basses for this challenge: my go-to Cort, my homemade 2-string cigar box bass played with a slide, my uke bass kit build, and the neglected beginner bass pulled from the back of the closet. No other instruments were harmed in the making of this song.

I’m halfway to a problem, and that’s where you come in Doing what you do, you do it well Misremembered deeds forgotten, our truths become fiction But I prefer the version that you tell

Blow the dust off the mandolin I was never here again

Building up the losses, time slouching through the haze I feel this chapter drawing to a close Another round, another round, another round we raise Illuminate the shadows which we throw

Twist the mill and just say when I was never here again Flip the script, start at the end I was never here again

If you see the equestrienne I was never here again All God’s people say amen I was never here again

I’m halfway to a problem, and that’s where you come in
