lyrics

Shuffle round
In this empty old room
Buckle down
Ignore the gloom and doom.
Not one sound
Nut the echo of my steps
Tv turned down
That's as lonely as it gets.
And the mailman's timid knock
Unwanted errand
Another threat in an envelope
Like a bomb with a stamp.
Have you got change?
Change for the Blues?

Can't wear
My smile on the outside
I swear
I still got it
But it’s mighty hard to find.
I'll tear
Anything that gets too close
It's rare
I make a move that's far too bold.
And the liquor store clerk
And her smart ass comments
Yeah, I'm drinking again today
And it's time well spent.
Have you got change
Change for the Blues?

Stop sending me your letters
No return address
And I throw ‘em in the trash
Put the garbage on top.
Don’t wanna be harassed
Wanna make it thru the day the best I can.
Walking in flip flops
In my dirty white socks.

Can’t be
Anybody but me
You and he
Drag around those upbeat personalities.
You lead
I run the other way
You feed
On the people who will brighten up your way.
And the police knock
Asking if I’m okay
I give ‘em 2 thumbs up
I pretend I’m gonna shave today.
Have you got change?
Change for the Blues?

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
