“I Have Made A Place” sees a narrator describe the life he has carved out for himself in what appears to be a small town.
An undercurrent of self doubt and maybe even self loathing are tampered by the narrator’s almost boasting descriptions of how important he has made himself.
[Verse 1]
I don’t have much at all
But I have sheep
I have nothing like a fortune
But I can sleep
All of the widows in town
Have given me their key
They count on no judgement
Only hard love from me
[Chorus]
Those who want to
They call my name and
Recognise my face
I don’t know why
I was born but
I have made a place
[Verse 2]
I built my own house
And have no gate
I go to bed so early
And sleep so late
When I die there will be a hole
No other man can cover
I have made a place here
I am Eve's own lover
[Chorus]
Those who want to
They call my name and
Recognise my face
I don’t know why
I was born but
I have made a place
[Verse 3]
I have many friends
And children call me master
I help older folks build fires
To warm their homes up faster
[Break]
[Chorus]
I don’t know why
I was born, but
I have made a place
