The Hill Country Devil performs new “Leah’s Song” at GemsOnVHS™ HQ.
This one is taken from a larger project, our full length 3-song/interview VHS HQ format ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZWWhP6I6HA&ab_channel=GemsOnVHS ). This song in particular is a very powerful one, in Hayden’s words, his late best friend “always asked (him) to write a song for his daughter,” and this is it.

I've been hunting the lyrics down but keep coming up empty. Was hoping I could get him to write them down for me but I must be out of luck at the moment 😅 I need to sit down and figure out the chords but I don't want to fu the lyrics.
