about

This is a song about my specific experience on one of the darkest days in Kentucky history. My brother Paul wrote the best part of the song, which is the last verse.

lyrics

I’m hanging out the window
Yelling to my dad
You had it there before
Try moving it back
Shut the window son
It’s freezing in this house
We’re tuning CBS ma
So I can’t close it now

In the eastern Appalachians
It was tobacco farms and coal
But down every gravel driveway
A backboard and a goal
You can’t trust New York
But winning speaks real loud
And when everyone else quit
A few good ones stuck around

I know the preachers tell us
Hate kills and destroys
So I’m trying to forgive
The way they done our boys
You may hear from some old-timers
There’s a few times in life
When a man can be excused
If he can’t help but cry

I’m laying there defeated
Looking at my dad
We had it there before
But then they took it back
When he turned the TV off
It was silent in that room
If emptiness could kill
The whole state would be a tomb

Mama I’m just lying here
I can’t catch my breath
It feels like a full grown man is
stepping on my chest
