fall update.

Well, it has been quite an eventful week / weekend.

Birmingham, Alabama descended on Philadelphia in full force from saturday until
tuesday. Had a house party / show at my place , where my old band Arkadelphia played as well as
some good buddies from bham 13 Ghosts and Vulture Whale. I opened the show playing two brand new songs
(I'll post the lyrics at the bottom as I haven't done that on here yet.) It was also my first solo show ever. I was
Nervous but it worked out well with thanks to the incredible Lee Bains backing me up on electric guitar and vocals. Needless
to say we proceded to get very very wild afterwards.

My two new songs are right here the first one is about Birmingham, Alabama and the second one is about a girl.
Very original material there.

My Hometown

staring at the ground
without a sound
no use looking 'round
no one to be found

my hometown
myhometown

shes still waiting there
she ain't goin' nowhere
railroad spike through her feet
when she tried to leave

my hometown
my hometown

what are you gonna do boy?
bout settling down
can't just hang around
staring at the ground

my hometown
my hometown

-------------------

Midwestern Rose

you run free
ain't to be tamed
any man who tries to take that away
oughta be ashamed
where are you off to now?

running with the river
i'm on bended knee
prayin' to the lord
that river runs you into me
'cause i want you sweet thing

youre the prettiest thing to ever come out of ohio
and i'd do anything to hold you tight
wish you'd settle down and blossom slow
but there you go
my midwestern rose

your'e running round
figure you oughta know
theres a place inside my heart
where we both could grow
i hope you'll come around
i hope youll come around

youre the prettiest thing to ever come out of ohio
and i'd dp anything to hold you tight
wish you'd settle down and blossom slow
but there you go
my midwestern rose
