lyrics about Jimmy

Pounds
Silence on the train tracks
Where cousin Jimmy was sitting
His heart full of sorrow
And his head with self-pity
The next train would show
Him the way out of hope

A daughter he loved
But felt himself unfit
No day is enough
So his life gone to shit
The next train would show
Him the way out of hope

Here come that train
Ready and willing
And almost was he
With all the whiskey he's swilling
Train, will you show
Me the way out of hope?

about messing around on the guitar

Sometimes when I fuck around on guitar, I'll find something decent and play it repeatedly. In that rhythm, maybe I can nail it. But if I turn on the phone to record, No. I tell myself I can play it clean without screwing up, but the memory and hands can't believe each other.

 

about a guy like Ernest Tubb

He wears bright orange and a slick smile. His big, blue eyes closed all the doors in the building. You look out the window and see the sky making faces like feeling the rain coming.

Note: Every once in a while I hear a song that is so good I hate the person that wrote it.
