I think the best of me’s still standing in the doorway / Counting cars and counting days and counting years / I could say you made me go through life the hard way / But it might’ve been worse if you were here (Jason Isbell)

People are crazy and times are strange / I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range / I used to care, but things have changed / I’ve been walking forty miles of bad road / If the Bible is right, the world will explode / I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself […]

Cryin‘ in a beer is commonplace around here / But when the sun goes down, nobody’s wearing a frown / That’s the life that we live every night / That’s the way that it is, honky tonkers don’t cry (Dale Watson)
