lyrics

It's a cloudy night in Tennessee
And the rain it washes over me
Lightnin' strikes and the thunder shakes my bones
I remember the days when I was a lad
I used to go fishin' with ol' grandad
Those days are dead and gone

(chorus)
There's a tractor tire on the highway
And some deer out in the yard
And blood from a shovel from an empty grave
And the day creeps by as slow as the old cars like to rust
Just searchin' to save my soul
From this old heart full of ache

Now the old boots that I'm treadin' in
Are caked in mud and soles worn thin
But I hear a lonesome whistle from a long,black, train
And it seems to calm my weary mind
Watchin' that train roll down the line
Runnin' with the wind and smoke
Like blood runnin' in my veins

(chorus)
There's a girl I left out west in the California sand
And I'll leave this blood stained shovel on an empty grave
And I'll watch that sun sink into that cold Pacific Ocean
I'm just searchin' to save my soul
From this old heart full of ache

The Dukes Of Glynn Brunswick, Georgia

Straight out of Brunswick, Georgia, the Dukes of Glynn blazon forth with great country-rock and boogie metal. With deep, heavy vocals and guitar riffs, the Dukes of Glynn rock the house. Both their lead guitar and their rhythm guitar have expert bits and sound amazing. The drums hit heavy and are very present in each song, laying a solid bedrock for the rest of the music to build off. ... more
