Whiskey Meyers

Got our tickets. Going to be a good show.

love me some WM

one of my favorite, surreal songs .. Broken Window Serenade
meth takes a young girls life, many of us know someone who died from drugs


A couple of pretty flowers
Is what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view

You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
Bout the places you have been
I love you so,
I thought you should know

And that muddy waters flowin
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddy's land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
Cuz I ain't got no money
You'll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know

You was gonna be a singer
Or be a movie star
But you cant catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard

Now you work down at the Time Out
Off 155
And you're dancing for your dollar
Just tryin' to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should know

You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plea for your life
as it takes you to your death

You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin' through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know

That cold rain is pourin'
As they lay you in a grave
I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state

No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know

A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view

Bones Owens is opening for them for a good bit on this tour as well. Y'all should definitely try to make his set.

Yeah, they seem to include one really rough one on each record:

Wife dies, can't take it, drugs, booze, blows his own head off on her grave:

"Reckoning"

This house is cold and lonely
This place is just a tomb
It’s an old cruel reminder of the past
That’s what’s left of me and you
I can’t sleep in our bed no more
Misery shakes me to the bone
Even when I try to get some rest
I cannot sleep alone

So I hide from the reckoning
I hide from the truth
And I hide from the reckoning
Till I’m lying next to you
Till I’m lying next to you

These prescription pills get me by
At the bottom of a bottle every night is where I hide
I hide from the fact that you’re gone
And after all these years I’m all alone
At the end of my road now
On my way to ease the pain
When I get there I put that cold steel to my head
I squeeze the trigger beside your grave

Hide from the reckoning
Hide from the truth
Yea, I hide from the reckoning
Till I’m lying next to you
Till I’m lying next to you
Till I’m lying next to you

Yea I hide from the reckoning
I hide from the truth
Yea I hide from the reckoning
Till I’m lying next to you

(no message)

Kinda reminds me of some of the early stuff from Cody San Pedro and the like. Before Nashville got the better of em ... Good ole "No Holds Barred", "what you see is what you get" RED DIRT baby!

Best live show you will see! They are amazing.

My wife is a fan, went to a show with her last March. I didn't know a single song they played, but I had a great time. They are fun.

Southern Rock. Easily the closest thing to Skynyrd in modern day. Just my opinion. Don’t get rustled.
