lyrics

SOUTH PACIFIC - NATHAN EVANS FOX

Your feet were fit for the South Pacific,
Brought that West Texas dust between your toes,
And your hands were shaped for battle rifles
And shovelling that West Virginia coal.
Her arms were strong for carrying daughters,
And her face shown just like heaven’s glow.
The ugliest thing that life ever brought her
Is that name etched in Shreveport stone.

I wonder what roads we will wander along
Til our fevers burn red with these blues.
I’ve grown content my love,
Content on loving you.

Come the verdicts of gossip on the fruits of grief
To hand down a sentence on this family tree.
In an empire of whispers, your tears prove you weak,
And they send for her family, and they cause you to leave.
Grief’s a piece of land that you pay for
At the crooked end of a dead end street,
And the ugliest thing that life ever brought her
Is the man that you’ll soon turn to be.

What demons will find you
And turn you mean,
When you’re trapped at the end
And there ain’t no retreat.
Seems you gave up on loving when you decided to leave
When that last bag was unpacked on that dead end street.

about

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.”
