lyrics

QUICKSAND - NATHAN EVANS FOX

I’m praying to be quiet while we’re out here on our own,
I pray to find the peace of mind to be content alone.
Our neighbors all have fences, land of houses with no homes,
And it’s hard to find a place to go with more tires out here than roads.

I’ll walk through quicksand,
Chase eastbound trains and
Hold onto love’s hottest flames with both of my bare hands.
I’ll love you again,
Even after Texas winds,
But I want you to know, babe, that I love you still.

I lost that gentle feeling,
I lost that gentle tone,
But as long as we’re still staying here, I’ll keep on holding on.
It ain’t right to live with demons I ain’t ever asked you to own,
What’s it mean to be half a man if I can be a whole mountain stone?

I want you know, babe,
I want you to know, babe,
I want you to know, babe
That I love you still.

I could blame it all on Texas
Or on the state of my own soul,
I could pawn it off on demons
Or the truths my daddy told.
But all this flatland living’s just a flatline that I postpone,
As long as you’re still with me here, I can still feel heaven’s glow.

I want you to know, babe,
I want you to know, babe, that I love you still.

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.”
