about

My goal this round is to write some potential rootsy bangers (is it legal to use the word "bangers" if you're over 40?) for Magnolia Green, especially tunes that might really give Jack and Nathey some room to dive in. On that count, I think I kinda like this one. We'll see ...

lyrics

Drove out to Clemmons where they flash those lights
Must be the drop-off for those high-test flights
They move ‘em down from Richmond in them unmarked trucks
sell ‘em on the dark net, ship ‘em up to Kennebunk
Some days I wish I was bolder
I’d blow the whole thing wide

I can’t confirm it but I can’t deny
Might be the one that drank that dive bar dry
Your hipster cousin and her longneck friend
Shot me out a cannon cross the riverbend
I must confess I deserved it
Just wish I could remember what I said

You said you loved me
But that was a lie
What I thought were sweet nothings
Just a rallying cry
Barricades tumbling
But I never saw the light
These days, times are tight

Grease on the handle, I can’t get no grip
She stare me down, got that hand on the hip
Ma always told me if you dig your own grave
Not even Jesus could find something to save
But if you’ve got the cash on the barrel
I guess I’ll do the job

You think you know what’s good for me and my crew?
You think you’re down for some grand hullabaloo?
I turned these cons way back when you were a chick
Routinely bombed, but baby, life is a brick
Just get me back in the line
And I’ll be here long after you’re gone

You said you loved me
But that was a lie
What I thought were sweet nothings
Just a rallying cry
Barricades tumbling
But I never saw the light
These days, times are tight
