On The Run

by The Whiskey Charmers

Colin M. The Whiskey Charmers continue their hot streak with "On The Run," a diverse and dynamic blend of americana, alt country, and roots rock. The instrumentation at the end of "Gold" also reminded me of Agalloch's "Hawthorne Passage" which was a totally unexpected but excellent treat. Favorite track: Gold.

Nobody Cares 04:13
Oh why is it always the same? I really don't know, and it's just a shame Gonna buy me a ticket on a plane Gonna leave you tonight, the pouring rain Nobody Cares about me But I'm gonna be carefree Gonna where the sun and the sky And the stars and the sky meet the sea I'm gonna run so wild Up to the mountainside Down to the firelight It will be alright Oh why is it always the same? I really don't know, and it's just a shame Gonna buy me a ticket on a train Gonna leave you tonight in the driving rain Nobody Cares about me But I'm gonna be carefree Gonna where the sun and the sky And the stars and the sky meet the sea Nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares Nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares

Billy 04:18
Billy got down on his knee Said won't you be my wife Stay with me we'll settle down And live a quiet life So I packed my bags to hit the interstate Cuz my time is running out, the hour is getting late Can't stand the ordinary When the days all look the same You can keep your sunny summer winds I'll keep my hurricane Can't stand the ordinary Can't stand to play it safe Give me life out on the open road Don't keep me in this cage Billy, Billy took a stand He said if I can't have you Well no one can He raised his gun, oh what a shame I had to put a bullet in his brain Can't stand the ordinary When the days all look the same You can keep your sunny summer winds I'll keep my hurricane Can't stand the ordinary Can't stand to play it safe Give me life out on the open road Before they put me in my grave Billy, Billy took a stand Billy, Billy took a stand Billy, Billy took a stand Billy, Billy took a stand

Water 03:41
I'm walking to the setting sun I gotta cool my smoking gun The desert is hot as it can be I gotta find a remedy Just a drop of water and it will be alright Just a sip of whiskey tonight Baby I'm on fire Won't you come and put it out I got this burning desire And the flame won't flicker out Won't you lift me up and fill my cup Cuz this love it ain't running out Just drop of water Just a little shade Just somewhere to lie down and take a break Baby I'm on fire Won't you come and put it out I got this burning desire And the flame won't flicker out Won't you lift me up and fill my cup Cuz this love it ain't running out Baby I'm on fire Baby I'm on fire Baby I'm on fire

Gold 06:45
Is there gold in the dust That hangs in the air? Are you caught in the rust? Caught in the glare? Digging for gold in an old ghost town Wish you were here but you're not around Blinded by sweat, the sun's beating down I've looked everywhere, looked all around Nothing but dirt in the ground Are you headed out west where the eagles fly? Are you headed out west where your dreams may lie? Hope you make it soon, if you even try And if you don't, I'll wonder why... I'm digging for gold in an old ghost town Wish you were here but you're not around Blinded by sweat, the sun's sinking down Looked everywhere, but you can't be found There ain't no gold in this town Are you headed out west where the eagles fly? Are you headed out west where your dreams may lie? Hope you make it soon, if you even try And if you don't, I'll wonder why...

Thought you'd still be sleeping in the morning But I woke up to find you gone When I was fast asleep, I guess the dawn began to creep Said it's best if you keep moving on Guess I hold on tight At least until tonight Put on both my boots and get ready for the show Though I never win, I'm putting on my grin Cuz I"m riding in, the devil's rodeo If I wake up tomorrow morning With a mouthful of dust and dirt and grime And if you should leave me without warning Well I know I'll get up another time Cuz I hold on tight At least until tonight I put on both my boots and get ready for the show Though I never win, I'm putting on my grin Cuz I"m riding in, the devil's rodeo Oh I'll get up again I'm putting on my grin But no one ever wins the devil's rodeo

Slumber 02:57
Upwards, downwards, I got no words at all Hiding, sliding, I'm inviting you to call When I slumber, I dream of your number And that's not like me at all Dreaming in the nighttime I'm dreaming in the day Without you beside me My whole world is gray And I got a hunger for lightning and thunder And I ain't getting no younger I guess that's the price We all gotta pay So let's live it up, let's live it up babe I'll light the fire, you light the way Let's live it up, let's live it up babe I'll light the fire, you light the way You light the way

Woke up this morning to your misery So nice of you to think of me, no doubt You say I'm blind and only you can see Well you know I disagree, still you shout Fill up your words in your mouth like a rifle Didn't want my love, just wanted a disciple Didn't want my love Stop blaming me for everything that went south That's all on you, stop running your mouth You said shut up just smile for the camera You said shut up just smile for the camera Just stand in the corner of your frame It's not your life, it's just my little game What a shame Stop blaming me for everything that went south That's all on you, stop running your mouth Stop running your mouth Stop running your mouth Stop running your mouth Woke up this morning to your misery So nice of you to think of me, still you shout Still you shout

Sucker 03:31
Baby I'm a sucker for your love Since you had me looking up at the stars above Baby I'm a sucker for you love You're the only one I'm thinking of The rising seas The changing tides Take me on a midnight ride Around the lake and in between To a place I've never seen And lay me in the grass Set it all on fire Putting up the masts Hiding from the lights And behind the shed With my feet on the ground Looking round the bend Ya I'm looking out, looking out Baby I'm a sucker for your love Baby I'm a sucker for your love Baby I'm a sucker for your love Since you had me looking up at the stars above

On The Run 02:59
The truth doesn't matter When all you know is lies Don't know you're a fool You think you are wise You think everyone else Is living in the dark And it's up to you To light a spark You left in the morning sun Wouldn't listen to anyone You thought that the answer lied Inside a gun You left in the morning light So ready to take a life You had the appetite To get it done Now you're on the run A sea of red A sea of blue Cold white eyes staring up at you Did it all go your way? is this world here to stay? You left in the morning sun Wouldn't listen to anyone You thought that the answer lied Inside a gun You left in the morning light So ready to take a life You had the appetite To get it done You're the chosen one The truth doesn't matter When all you know is lies Can't you see you're a fool? Open up your eyes

Wrinkle 02:35
Look in the mirror There's a wrinkle in my eye There's a wrinkle in time It turns on a dime And it is clear It's time to decide Time goes hurtling by Hang on tight Tic tock goes the clock No no it never stops Look in the mirror There's a wrinkle in my eye There's a wrinkle in time I don't mind Tic tock goes the clock Round and round just like a top But we'll break the glass And make it...stop
