LYRICS
I haven't showered in weeks,
and my perfume is perfectly in tune with the way that I think,
And I don't dream anymore,
I keep my head up, close to the floor,
Another bottle of whiskey to put me to sleep,
Rockabye baby my sweet therapy,
I'm mangled like an oak tree,
Twisted to the bone,
And I don't dream anymore,
I keep my head up, close to the floor,
Another bottle of whiskey to put me to sleep,
Rockabye baby my sweet therapy,

LYRICS
Settle down,
Give time the time to find it's way around,
When words are too soft,
And your thoughts take a toll,
And your head falls off,
Watch it roll watch,
The hardest thing to see,
When covered with the worst of yourself,
Is that everything, everything is gunna be alright
Don't cry quiet,
It's the loudest noise you'd ever make before,
And I know I know I know I know you doing so much better,
But if you can't see how good it was before,
Then you'll never ever ever ever know how it could be,
Oh how it could be,
It could be alright

Hungover Love

LYRICS
We feel funny when we wake up,
Heads full of love now just push and shove,
It goes beat beat beat my hearts in my head,
Thump thump thump I don't remember what I said,
Hung over love
What comes first,
The music or the words? (I don't know)
Will you stay if I write another verse?
It's so simple til we say it's not
To think a little less,
Is a hell of a thought
Hung over love

LYRICS
Oh boy don't give up on me,
Yeah that sweet medication causing friendship sedation,
He said fine by me
I got to detox these thoughts
Cause they so troubling
Ain't got time for them,
Oh detox these thoughts
He's gotta problem but we don't interfere
I gotta problem with that
Glass half empty but another on the way,
He got me feelings sad,
I got to detox these thoughts
Cause they so troubling
Ain't got time for them,
Oh detox these thoughts

LYRICS
Give me love,
And I will not ask for more,
I built up for thick walls,
But I think you could be door,
But I get drunk on your lips,
And I hold you just for me,
I could use someone just like you,
I think I think too much
But hold me I'll tell you stuff,
But I'll just drink on your lips,
And I'll love you selfishly,
And I'll hold you just for me,

The Dream

LYRICS
Oh that old southern moon,
And the black cat on the side walk,
Bicycle wheels float over my head,
And the air is as thick as it is warm,
I must be in New Orleans,
I must be dreaming
The steel guitar man plays for the train,
Flask packed of bourbon loose cigarette in his mouth,
Fat mans trumpet kisses city tops,
Tires grow peaches down here in the south,
I must be in New Orleans,
I must be dreaming
I don't mind this but my mother wouldn't like it though,
This is not a floatation device,
But there's an octopus painted on it,
Records are hanging from the chandeliers,
Ou there's something sticky on the table,
One day I'll settle down,
Some day I'll be what you want,
But not today,
Cause I am not prepared to know why I am not prepared to know...
Records are hanging from the chandeliers,
Ou there's something sticky on the table,
One day I'll settle down,
Some day I'll be what you want,
But not today
I don't mind this but my mother wouldn't like it though

LYRICS
Moving around,
Where should I go?
Far far away or close to my home,
I stare in the mirror for some kind of truth,
Only found a blank stare,
Who calls himself "you"
I only have a door,
A door in my mind,
A door out of my life,
Oh how I adore this door of mine,
We scream, we scream
What good is it around here?
Silence grips us tight,
So we shove music in our ears,
I only have a door,
A door in my mind,
A door out of my life,
Oh how I adore this door of mine
(speak less, harm less)

LYRICS
Daddy's gunna buy me a .45,
Said it's gunna ease my mind,
Said just load her up when you just can't run,
First few rounds are me son,
But I said no, no, no,
Ain't gunner bring me down,
I rise up, up, up,
but keep that gun around,
Whiskey always said it's gunna treat me right,
So I turned that bottle upside down,
Woke up in morning having lost my night,
All that whiskey did was turn me around,
But I said no, no, no,
Ain't gunner bring me down,
I rise up, up, up,
but keep that gun around,
With the gun powder leaking,
Down my neck,
And a door to my thoughts open,
And my heart beats the life right out of my head,
The thought of this keeps me going,
There's always a way if I want it
But I said no, no, no,
Ain't gunner bring me down,
I rise up, up, up,
but keep that gun around

LYRICS
Where did all my friends go?
Ahhhh
If you knew you wouldn't wonder,
Hair doesn't grow if you pull if you pull,
Stay a little longer,
Cause if you go if you go,
I don't know, I don't know,
Oh my,
Such a heavy mind,
Is that what dragged you off the edge?
Stiff drink and a loose grip,
Gunna drop you on your head,
Just a baby,
And you were my friend
Where did all my friends go?
Ahhhh
This towns a little quieter.
Nobody left, everyones gone,
This towns a little bit quieter,
Oh my,
What a senseless crime,
Did you even ask his name?
You opened his chest,
And laid him to rest,
Did you even see his face?
Just a baby,
Ahhh,
He was my friend,
Just a baby,
Ahhh,
You were my friend, (What did we do that was so wrong?)
Where did all my friends go?

Shakey Graves did it again! Thoughtful, clever lyrics. Groovy country style rhythms. Guaranteed a good time from this Texas gentleman

Erdy's tunes are ones to sit down and dive into. They say a picture says a thousand words. I'd say Erdy's words paint a thousand pictures. Close your eyes, listen up, and enjoy.
