Grammy Award Winner: Best Americana Album 2022

A bit of a twist in their normal songwriting process: Louie gave Dave just the poetry (with no musical seed) and Dave had a melody waiting, so they crafted and wove what they had together. Conrad: Those guys are great writers. That's all there is to it. Louie: We were walking out of the studio one day and I said, "Hey Dave, I have an idea. What if we wrote an original song for this record?" He looked at me and said: "Write an original cover?" He got me on that one. My brother. A man of few words. David: The lyric is beautiful, and it tells a great story. Louie is an amazing writer. Steve: I was so happy Dave and Louie came up with it. It kinda put everything into perspective, theme-wise. Yeah, this is us – Native Sons.

There are concrete rivers flowing
from the mountains to the sea
towers that almost touch the sky
up all around me

There’s music playing on the radio
from a house there down the street
singing “Take me in your arms again
I miss you don’t you see.”

No matter where I lay my head
no matter how far I've run
I dream about the day you’ll take me back
I’m your native son

I was a fool to run away
and forget where I’d come from
I think about the day you’ll take me back
I’m your native son
