lyrics

Amongst the cypress and quartz I roamed
I learned to wince at the church bell’s toll
Preferred katydids and thunder’s roll
It never felt all bad

Wanted for nothin with a bad luck streak
I turned a rock over in every creek
Whistled strong because my body was weak
I didn’t feel all bad

Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten

Moved to a hollow at the plateau’s cusp
I talked to barred owls and bats at dusk
Cornered by cul de sacs and craving the rust
It kinda felt all bad

I grew a little into deafening rage
Every hometown is a well built cage
Be it high iron, highway or stage
Don’t let it be all bad

I’ve been indebted to a surgeon’s blade
Probation officers and nerves that frayed
Only the choiceless every gladly stayed
Refuse to be all bad

Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten

We bury friends and try to share our pain
November hurricanes and acid rain
They built to burn but we will live to maintain
Because it ain't all bad

about

Nick Shoulders Fayetteville, Arkansas

Here to put the "Try" in country. Wielding a high yodel and whistle crafted from a lifetime chasing lizards through the Ozark hills, Nick combines his family's deep ties to southern traditional music with years singing to empty street corners to create this hybridized form of raucous country music: born of some dark holler and bred to be stomped into the New Orleans dancefloors it now calls home. ... more
