lyrics

Grandaddy was a drinker and gambler too,
Grandmama’d dip and curse while my uncle chased perfume.
We got three strains of weed ‘tween the corn seeds,
And we got harder stuff.
If ya ain’t paid your time to the county jail, we credit Lady Luck.

Just another lost Carolina boy, singing ‘stead of speaking in tongues,
Stranded out here in Tennessee when Georgia got too rough.
Ain’t nothing back home but a minefield of cornfields, old flames, and family grudges,
Momma said ‘Better not stick around here, boy; when you leave stick to beer.’

Momma’s still a brawler, did mescaline,
Daddy acts like laws are flexible things.
It was military school if the money wasn’t tight,
Thank God that it was,
So my folks kept me in playing church songs on most Friday nights.

I don’t know where I’m going, just know where I’m from.
Home’s a place I ain’t go often but often think of.
There’s a hole in my pocket where the money should go,
There’s a hole in my heart called home,
When I get to missing, I hit these hills and head out all alone.

Just another lost Carolina boy, singing ‘stead of speaking in tongues,
Stranded out here in Tennessee when Georgia got too rough.
Ain’t nothing back home but a minefield of cornfields, old flames, and bad drugs,
Momma said ‘Better not stick around here, boy; when you leave stick to beer.’

Nathan Evans Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox writes songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
