hard times are coming Lord the good times don't last hard times in the future and hard times in the past I just wanna be free Went down to the courthouse to speak to the judge said I wish my baby'd leave me but he just won't budge won't you set me free cuz how're you supposed to love someone you can't even trust? I wanna start my old pickup and leave him in the dust and then I'd be free of course it ain't that easy in fact it's real hard leaving it all on the table when you ain't got any cards and nothing ever comes free he's always accusing me, I ain't done any wrong all I did was love him and sing these songs and in these songs I'm free spent a decade doing whatever he asked turns out that kindly smile's just another mask I don't even blame him, we both were so young hearts couldn't cash the checks written by our tongues I'm gonna set us free yeah I'm finally leaving gonna try my luck the only bed that I'll be needing is the one on my truck and then I'll be free

I dreamed I met Phil Ochs that night I set out in 2017 I asked the gleaming ghostly onramps if they could tell me what it means I chased that asphalt dragon from florida to washington state and every billboard along the way said they’d made america great and oh my car was empty oh the shining gleaming chrome my heroes were all at the movies and the enemies were at home and I drifted down to Austin I was following a blaze lived like a bastard eagle for eleven long nights and days a fever in Salt Lake City nearly put me in the ground and the wind across the desert shook me with the sound and oh the night was empty oh the darkened starless dome coyotes were prowlin the canyons and the cowboys were sleepin alone 2 weeks in the rains of Tacoma till we fixed that belt I dropped you off with the brothers I couldn’t tell you how I felt never made it down to California never made it back to Spokane just took the fast lane to Florida we only ever do what we can oh my heart was empty oh the fading greying chrome I thought to run was an answer but the enemy was waiting back home we play our war games with cheat codes but the enemy was always back home

I could never apologize for all the bad stuff I’ve done so I haven’t even tried somewhere out there there’s lots of folks who probably wish I’d died can’t blame em but I can promise them this: I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long you won’t hear me singin this song anymore I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long I’ll be dead before too long you won’t hear me singin this song anymore sometimes I sit there wonderin why I’ve wasted so much time in my life lookin for somethin important to do I learned more on the night shift than I ever did readin kierkegaard or camus

When it was whiskey in the morning and coffee at night Those were the days that I felt alright The hours we spent were fading lights And I'd give anything To spend them again with you Racing down the empty roads in my old prelude Tryin not to wreck it but kinda wanting to Too young to have regrets bout what we didn't choose Now I'd give anything To have chosen you Every new beginning is another end Every lonely hour's a forgotten friend I got a desk full of letters I never meant to send But now I'd give anything To have sent em to you Now I get up in the morning and I sleep most nights gave up on smokin now I'm breathing right probly won't get famous but I guess I still might And I'd give anything To be back then with you

woke up early, got as pretty as I could you were busy again just like I knew you'd be seems like something's always coming up between us and if it's not you, I guess it must be me I don't want you to worry or be bothered and I can promise you I'll be just fine it's just that I'm coming up to the edge of loneliness I've been ok for awhile so I guess it's just that time worried down two cups of coffee before I gave you a call you were sleeping in, and that's all I don't mind a change of plans for your aching head I just went to the grocery store instead if I'm ever young again I'll try to be more free but if you said I'm yours again I guess I'd be the same and that's not to say I don't need you but I don't want to cause you pain if you're moving on past lonesome and on to someone new.

about

demos written and recorded 2020-2022. some in a hotel room in downtown miami, some while snowed in in Tontitown Arkansas. sometimes you're just alone, you know? everything's rough because I don't really know how to do the studio stuff but sometimes you can't let that stop you.

these don't really feel like x dirty fingers songs so I'm releasing them under my own name. hope you enjoy.
