lyrics

She’s been emptying rounds in a dark bar
She’s been getting around in a parked car
You wanna know exactly how she feels?
You gotta walk to hell and back in heels
Baby’s been to hell and back
She never left Blacksburg

These mountain town bars are all bare bones
Hell, a little Phenobarbital and pheromones
Baby just looking for a little release
Love’s the drug that she distrusts the least
But you take whatever takes you back in Blacksburg

There was a time this town could never have had her
Now she never minds
And it never matters

She says this endless night feels indescribably
As empty as them inside of me
But if I can’t feel good again
I’ll be damned if I feel this pain I’m in
You just see who’s standing after the stars collapse
On Blacksburg

That’s her emptying rounds in a dark bar
Getting around in a parked car

about

Cory Branan Nashville, Tennessee

Throughout his decade-and-a-half-long career, Cory Branan has been too punk for country, too country for punk, too Memphis for Nashville, and probably a little too Cory Branan for anyone’s damn good.

Heard this on WNCW today and listened on repeat all day. Had to buy the vinyl and show my support. This is gonna be my summer 2020 album and I’m perfectly fine with that.
