Once and Future Carpenter

I ain’t from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas and I know the lonesome sound is following I ain’t a gambler, but i can recognize and hand and when to hold, the queens are staring back at me Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused I could swing a metal [...]

Down With The Shine

Down with the shine, the perfect shine That poisons the well and ruins my mind I get took for a ride every time Down with the glistening shine It’s in with the new, and out with the old Out goes the warm and in comes the cold It’s the most predictable story told In with [...]

Incomplete and Insecure

I haven’t finished a thing since I started my life I don’t feel much like starting now. Walking out lonely has worked like a charm I’m the only one I have to let down.
