lyrics

Bound and Determined


I am so weary, I’m as glum as I can be. All y’all have lost it, I meet your madness with pity, I don’t blame you for being scared, but its the wrong direction that your teeth are bared.

We’re fully busted, we know the ship has run aground, the things your trusted, they burned the farm and moved to town and though I might eat all of my steaks rare, I never sold my soul to a billionaire.

I keep the door, open for you. Bound and determined, you can’t lie to me. Bound and determined, to ruin everything.

You say you’re country, you lay a claim unto the soil, if you were country, you’d save your land from being spoiled, do you drink water, do you breathe air? I think if you were really country you would fucking care.

I’d be just like you, if I were fed the things you’re fed, I’m just as frightened, we’re off the rails we’re in the red, you’ve got opinions but your proof it lacks, and only one of us is dealing in alternative facts

I keep the door, open for you. Bound and determined, you can’t lie to me. Bound and determined, to ruin everything.

Do you love freedom? Or security in dreams, is life worth living if there’s lead in the last stream? To a glutton what’s allegiance worth, if the meek like me are to inherit the earth?

Its not oppression, to ask for basic decency, you’ll learn your lesson, while we’re repeating history, and if this song get’s me shot, at least my voice it wasn’t silent you’ll forget me not.

I keep the door, open for you. Bound and determined, you can’t lie to me. Bound and determined, to ruin everything.

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
