Maxwell Lyrics - Infamous Stringdusters

Maxwell was a measured man, played his cards with a heavy hand 

Until the day his fortune fell, ask me how I knew him well 

Born unto a family, stump in place of a family tree 

Only child left alone, mother dead and his father gone 

Maxwell my boy 

What will be your fate 

Oh Oh it's not too late 

Maxwell my boy 

what will be your fate... 

Had more land than you or me, he owned damn near everything 

House was on the highest hill, standing then, standing still 

Looking back as I neared the enyeah d, yeah no one there to call a friend 

All he had was all he owned, behind the silent walls of ne 

Maxwell my boy 

What will be your fateOh, 

Oh, it's not too late 

Maxwell my boy 

what will be your fate... 

Well I used to be a measured man, played my cards with a heavy hand 

Truest love, never known, this lonesome tale, is my own 

When the night bird sings i yeah andt's song, yeah and I regret all I've done 

I recall those darkest days, and thank the lord that an can change 

Maxwell my boy 

What will be your fate 

Oh, it's not too late 

Maxwell my boy 

what will be your fate 

Oh, it's not too late 

Oh, it's not too late
