lyrics

OLD kentucky Breakdown
well i drink down the whiskey let the smoke bite my lungs
with a ratchet in my soul and from their fingers and their tongues
we will never stick together with a wrench inside my heart
we're behind where we were from the start

and I will never understand why they long to use those hands
with a clock ticking foreward pointing to the promised lands
a ticker tape parade, a forty piece band
the stocks they might crash but the weak they still stand

and here's farewell to old Kentucky
it's farewell to old Colorado
I'm going where the wind ain't blowin
I'm going where that old north wind don't blow

so i jump into the well just to spite the water
now the whiskey is poisoned, we should have fought harder
but my hindsight is blind, my foresight is blurry
I hope the four horsemen come on down with all of heavens fury

but that apathy slowly seeps into my heart
we're behind where we were
where we were from the start

now i wander round the country with my pockets full of sand
I'll tear down the wall when I'm dealt the right hand
but united we fall, divided we stand
she can't tell the difference between her friends and her fans

but lady liberty is waving a white flag
so put all of your belongings in a black plastic trash bag
and walk into the sunset
fall off the edge of the earth

As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
