lyrics

Ax on his back,
twenty five
moving down to Texas
with a hitchhiker sign
trade some songs
for some nights on the floor
drink some bourbon
and drink a bunch more

sun in his eyes
windows down
looking past the wrecking balls
of this little town
he saw his home
through the eyes of the greats
the outlaws hangin on the cactus
café

he was headed where the country music
sounds like rock and roll
he was headed where the country music
meets that rhythm and soul
headed where the country music meets
the nowhere better to go

headed where the country needs a hero

it's here he'll find out
the kind of man he'll become
watch a couple women
disappear into songs
make some friends
turn some nights into days
make some money
and blow it
away

he was headed where the country music
sounds like rock and roll
he was headed where the country music
meets that rhythm and soul
headed where the country music meets
the nowhere better to go

headed where the country needs a hero
headed where the country needs a hero

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
