lyrics

Everybody lies
And everybody cries
And everybody gets high
At the corner bar.
Everybody groans
At your same old jokes
That you done told
You're no tv star.

Everybody stays
Nobody goes away
They'll all be back again today
Hanging on to half a life.
Nowhere else to go
Everybody that you know
Is sitting next to you
Hiding from the light.

You don't love
You just need.

I know you're real sad
Cause everybody's mad
At the choices that you made.
It started out so good.
But your life fell short
There were big mistakes of course
And the drinking ...
Change it if you could.

They called you a regular
But you're really just a beggar
For one free shot
Nothing funny 'bout a drunk.
Who lives to drink
And drinks to live
Too afraid to go home
Unlucky in love.

But there was that one girl
You'da handed her the whole world
Lost in a cloud
Too many years ago.
But you talk like she's still home
Sitting by the phone
Listening to the dial tone
Making sure it ain't broke.

But you never moved a muscle
You just sat there and guzzled
Down one last beer
Making love to your own bar stool.
Turns out you aren't that smart
You're terrified of a little broken heart
Oh man, she knew.

Rand Reynolds Nashville, Tennessee

Rand Reynolds writes authentic Hillbilly Noir, a new music genre he created in 2005 to describe his haunting Edgar Allen Poe- like lyrics accompanied by a stark, rustic Martin guitar sound. The songs reek of the human abyss, danger and disappointment because, in Reynolds' Noir world, hope and desperation go hand in hand -- for his dreams of easy deliverance are empty, two sided and vague. ... more
