Night Light 04:31
Darkness Comes our way After the light of day Light it shines on you After night time passes through
2.
The man who will smoke anything is crinkled up inside The soles of his shoes are worn and his breath he tries to hide He hasn't seen the light of day since his wife and kids left town And he's wondering this time how low he'll get till things turn around The tavern that he prefers keeps the lights low and music loud Keeping down the things in his mind he prefers and finds profound To much time spent in the mind take him from here to nowhere So the man who will smoke anything, his drinking nights abound After what feels like eternity the man's eyes open wide He's locked in some cheap motel and the sunlight burns his eyes Three nights spent pacing back and forth, calling back for more There's a missing piece of a dusty window blind laid on the floor He wishes for a pickup truck, he wishes for a job He thinks about sticking up a place, cause he feels robbed If life is just a carousel, this one's run its course He's had enough, it's a quick give up, and then a pistol on the floor

Eli Jones he steps out His whole life is full of doubt Parkersburg gave his kids a cough Got to find a place where he can get lost He got caught Caught in the cove Trying to find where He can make his happy home High school is over now Get a job anyway that you know how Find place to make your stand Raise a family maybe work on the land He got caught Caught in the cove Trying to find where He can make his happy home Sally Till she's speeding away Tired of where she has to stay All that money spent on nothing at all Trying hard to avoid a fall She got caught Caught in the cove Trying to find where She can make her happy home

Lay Me Down 02:34
Lay me down In Hardin County Lay me down That cold cold ground I'll wait for you My little darling Mine earthly plot Will long be found I woke that morning As any other Heard a sinking, deathly sound In my darkness Cried out please save me Light cast o'er My solemn brow What will the people Think of me When I'm laid down Lord, dead and gone Life that lasted But a twinkle Remembering me Less long Lord send the angels Down for me Hear my humble cry This life is full of Pain and sorrow Felt no more For I'm to die
5.
Flicker 04:17
That man is down on his luck A one time rambler whose life is crashed and stuck Now cold and lonely Thinking where he's been Then he jumps a train Hoping to start again Smoking wasted butts, nowhere to rest Hearing what others say about his looks in his distress He had chased a ghost nearly all his days Hobo hopping Till the city lights fade away Give me the last flicker of hope Give me the last glimmer of hope Lost out in the darkness till you find your rope Give me the last flicker of hope Stop in a small mountain town Faces look elsewhere But he didn't care Just wondering from here to there Maybe this is the place where he needs to fall Maybe he's found his ghost after all Give me the last flicker of hope Give me the last glimmer of hope Lost out in the darkness till you find your rope Give me the last flicker of hope
6.
Pavement 05:41
Well this girl I've known to be Everything lying next to me Unseen future and I must know Like an aperture scratching out on my window This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new This town, not new to me no more There's a bar, a school and a grocery store The people in it give me such a bore I feel like running away This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new What's the new road That I must take Is it filled with smiles and birthday cake? Or low down dirges that make your soul shake? Answer me that question man This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new
7.
To What End 04:13
From across a big expanse came down before finding ways and all the things that I'd been looking for and as it passed over I knew I was alive suddenly someone spoke as I began to cry The pain was bigger the second time around deep inside I knew to hide from the view laid down ask in tones of reverence my answer came there I was staring at my shoes out of frame To what end will it be What is the end for me You must think it's easy to speak and not be heard to tell a lie that makes even truth look absurd I may be gone but not forgotten tried and sometimes true you can't even think a lie as big as the one that i've construed
8.
River keep rolling, rain hasn't slowed down for days If it keeps on coming down, flood waters will take this house away I haven't been home for weeks, wonder if anyone stopped by Probably just the mail man with news that will make a grown man cry The train that I'm on, won't slow until the night ends I'm riding away from Michigan, following the rails to some rusty state My sadness follows along, I try to beat it but it's strong Wonder when I get there, will she take the blues that I'm on If I see you coming, I'd probably let you pass by I want to stop and talk, and figure out how you made me try But you'd look to important, dignified in your easy way Maybe I'll try next time, when I have something left to say
9.
They were wrong Innocent, my opinion don't matter no way We dissent, feeling better off that way Lives are spent, working stiff without no pay Same old shit, burn it down it's the only way They were wrong Spit on and curse you, drag your name on through that mud Stupid and ignorant, boy I'd kill you if I could Maybe you, shouldn't been born anyway Go on back, from where you come from's what I say They were wrong
10.
I wish I could sing it all in a song so plain Wish we had time for a long refrain But the world is getting ugly now There is no time to wait Is it a revolution that will set you free? Are we walking into tyranny? Right and Left, Love and Hate On the razors edge, what will be fate The world is upside down Disaster's everywhere Change is in the air Will it be blood and bone With a voice so loud and information so just Is it open your mind or in God we trust? Build a wall or tear it down Time to swim or else we'll drown

about

After the release of 'Dead and Gone', Loose Roosters formed. We started this record off as a practice album. A place we could get our tracks down on acoustic guitars to build out parts. That became something much bigger than we expected. As I brought the songs, Bobby and Chris had lots of ideas. We started working out of Chris's apartment, turning our amps up and hitting the drums when the landlord was away. I am super proud of what we put together and I cannot thank Bobby and Chris enough for all of the time and effort they put into this record.

Here is a word about the songs. We live in strange times. It feels like we are on the edge most days. This record is about anxiety and fear. It is about darkness and light. If you listen close enough you might even find some hope. Enjoy the music!

about

Loose Roosters Boone, North Carolina

Loose Roosters

Finer gentlemen, you’ll meet few
Writing songs that are all brand new
Live in the mountains with a kangaroo
And boy who cries about the age of two
Many have tried to play as they do
But the soul of a rooster is required of you

Tell all you know to come from far and near
The roosters are loose so lend them your ear
