Story Behind The Song
This song is written by Mike Barnet, a local musician in Fullerton, Calif. near where I grew up.When I was young I would see him play and over some time formed a relationship with him as my musical adviser. He recently moved to Washington and stopped playing music to begin another avenue of his life. I wanted his music to keep going on so what better way than to cover the song that made me want to be a musician.

Lyrics
I spent 7 long years in the wilderness
The sky my yard the trees my fence
And I grew fat on a cod fish fountain
I built my home right on the side of a mountain
yes I dug a whole then broke the gate
And with the shade of night I made my escape
Right under the walls of the city jail
And into the woods iI ran with hell
I was Bound by love
You see I lost my love to another man
With sinder wood eyes I could understand
But I beat the eyes till they were victim black
Till I Kicked them in on the railroad track
And My Guilty sin was on the wind
A few days they drug me in and my
Women cried for the man I slu
And I realized she was in prison too
She was bound by love
Now as the day goes shackle to the night
WE are bound to love all of our lives
With a multiply with a eternal claim
When the Ankle wounds become ankle chains
And I'll love to come this prison stone till
Trapped inside our very home we go
None to trust and trust to feel
But it's a jealously that's going to make you kill
When your Bound by love
We go Bound by love
A simply bound by love
