Verse 1 I saw the way you walked You always talked the talk You Pressed buttons that you knew could start a war No love for the hypocrite Saw through all the petty bullshit When it rains it pours and you’re the perfect storm Nailed up on her bedroom wall She can have herself anyone at all Pin the tail on a man who looks like he might drop the ball If you’re looking for a man to blame Take a hit lay back and lose my name I might be the reason but I sure don’t feel ashamed Chorus Because She’s got that ten gallon swagger She’s packing a loaded gun A known fact that she’ll never lose a wager Cause she knows when she's already won You better hope that she’s feeling generous She’s running off of that pure adrenaline You better beg like you’re a gentleman Take a hit and feel the medicine Verse 2 You pushed and you pulled me down Saw the way that you played around You tease me please me I’m addicted to your sound I’m scared but I’m coming back I’m half way to a heart attack Pushing all those buttons can’t stop me from running out of air Nailed up on her bedroom wall She can have herself anyone at all Pin the tail on a man who looks like he might lose it all If your looking for the one to blame Take a hit lay back and lose my name I might be the reason but I sure don’t feel ashamed Chorus Because She’s got that ten gallon swagger She’s packing a loaded gun A known fact that she’ll never lose a wager Cause she knows when she's already won You better hope that she’s feeling generous She’s running off of that pure adrenaline You better beg like you’re a gentleman Take a hit and feel the medicine Bridge That girl is terrifying Chorus Because She’s got that ten gallon swagger She’s packing a loaded gun A known fact that she’ll never lose a wager Cause she knows when she's already won You better hope that she’s feeling generous She’s running off of that pure adrenaline You better beg like you’re a gentleman Take a hit and feel the medicine

Verse 1 There’s a feast going on and you wouldn’t even know about it A fights breaking out and they’ll make a damn meal out of it There’s so much going wrong but I can’t waste my time on things that won’t change Verse 2 I’m a cool headed man but this one’s got the best of me I see reason and rhyme but someone stole my melodies Maybe I should write a strongly worded letter But the sensible side of me says I should know better Chorus Take me down to the riverside Show me good loving and a damn good time Lord knows we need it Lord knows it’s leaving Take me down and show me life I’m feeling outdated I could use a new fight Lord knows we need it Lord knows we’re hanging out to dry Hanging out to dry Oh Lord well we’re hanging it out to dry Verse 3 Finding reasons to lie like it’s good for your shaken Soul Feeling twisted inside and you know just who’s at fault If you can’t fix the world then fix the people who surround your mighty throne Chorus Take me down to the riverside Show me good loving and a damn good time Lord knows we need it Lord knows it’s leaving Take me down and show me life I’m feeling outdated I could use a new fight Lord knows we need it Lord knows we’re hanging out to dry Hanging out to dry Oh Lord well we’re hanging it out to dry Bridge I’m taking two steps forward and one step back Never seen a happy man who ran a dead straight path Turns and twists and shaking hips and moments to be kept Take it all in my friend you ain’t seen nothing yet Chorus Take me down to the riverside Show me good loving and a damn good time Lord knows we need it Lord knows it’s leaving Take me down and show me life I’m feeling outdated I could use a new fight Lord knows we need it Lord knows we’re hanging out to dry Hanging out to dry Oh Lord well we’re hanging it out to dry

Verse 1 You're entranced Can't tell your legs to walk away All them plans Don't mean a thing if I got a say You'll go blind When I close my eyes your world is black Oh my mind Is working overtime to hold you back But nothing can control you Shackles falling at your feet Fighting forces that implore you Ain't nothing you can't defeat Chorus Oh oh oh I think I'm falling my fingers are turning blue My heart is pounding my thoughts are trapped thinking all bout you I try to fight it but I can't prevent this heart attack You try to cut me down but This is what happens when you wait to long to bring it back Verse 2 You pull me down Hold me under till I'm blue Push me around There ain't no reasoning with you Cut me out You make it look easy to do Strip me down Expose the parts of me that fear you I thought somebody told you The world is not your friend this week Try to run and they will hold you Shackled hearts they barely beat Chorus Oh oh oh I think I'm falling my fingers are turning blue My heart is pounding my thoughts are trapped thinking all bout you I try to fight it but I can't prevent this heart attack You try to cut me down but This is what happens when you wait too long to bring it back Bridge Oh oh oh I think I’m falling my fingers are turning blue My heart is pounding Chorus Oh oh oh I think I'm falling my fingers are turning blue My heart is pounding my thoughts are trapped thinking all bout you I try to fight it but I can't prevent this heart attack You try to cut me, but This is what happens when you wait too long to bring it back This is what happens when you wait too long to bring it back This is what happens when you wait too long to bring it back

Verse 1 My brother lives in oxford, and that’s where I wanna be My brother lives in oxford, and that’s where I wanna be I’ve been gone for a while so I don’t know if he wants to see me Verse 2 My lover moved back to Liverpool, I wonder if she misses me My lover moved back to Liverpool, I wonder if she misses me It’s a long way across the sea so I hope that she still thinks of me, oh no! Chorus Not gonna lie it’s a hard life When you move around and feel left behind Just the wrong place at the wrong time Divided by state lines and the oceans tide Verse 3 My brother lives in oxford, and that’s where I wanna be, Oh my lover moved back to Liverpool, I wonder if she thinks of me I know as soon I cross the see my friends will be calling back to me Chorus Not gonna lie it’s a hard life When you move around and feel left behind Just the wrong place at the wrong time Divided by state lines and the oceans tide

about

This album is the culmination of over a year of heavy gigging, touring, and many nights spent around a table drinking beer and laughing with friends. After winning the battle of the bands in our hometown of Lawrence, Kansas we finally had the funds to record our first ever professional EP. Filled with tales of frustration, heartbreak, longing, and good times, we are incredibly proud of the music we have worked so hard to create. We chose to record with Avenue Record Company, and with the help of the wonderful Matt Richards we are so excited to release a project that we love, and we sincerely hope that you do too!
