Introduction

[Spoken]

When I was young, I worked on an oyster boat

I used to look up at this mansion on the hill

Wonder what would it be like to live in a house like that

I used to think, "They're rich bastards, they never had to work a day in their life"

Well, I own that house now

It's not finished yet

But neither am I

[Spoken]

The most original thing I've ever done in my life is screw up

But that's not necessarily a bad thing

I once asked a truly great chef how he got to be so good

He said, "It's all in the recovery, how you correct your mistakes"

I think there's a lot of hard-won wisdom that comes with that

[Spoken]

Everything I've done and everything I've lived through

Has somehow found its way into my music
