Believe me, I cannot bare it When you tease, tease, tease, tease, tease me You’re just so careless I can’t conceive how you can stand there And demand it When you don’t even know my name Jeez man, there’s no good reason You just want please, please, please, please, pleasin’ You hit the ceiling When you don’t get what you’re wantin’ Well, it is dauntin’ And you call me every kind of name This summer I’m feeling haunted You made me leave, leave, leave, leave, leave you But you were gone too The days are hot, the nights are longer And so I wonder Would you have liked me to’ve taken your name? It’s not the first time that I have fallen Down on my knees, knees, knees, knees, knees, babe But I ain’t crawling It’s all a wreck but no one’s fault yet It’s still appalling So I holler, what in heaven’s name? So I holler, what in heaven’s name? Yeah, I holler, what in heaven’s name? Yeah, I holler, what in heaven’s name?

We’ll keep on swimming upstream We’ll go till we die from passing our genes Bright red, my fangs coming in I’m driven by something buried deep within Yeah, I’m running upstream to settle a deal I pause to catch my breath Exposed to it all and flirting with death Come lie down by my side This life is short but the water is wide My heart is beating still My heart is beating still My heart is beating still Yeah, I’m running upstream to settle a deal It’s time to take me to bed Amidst the gravel and the reeds I’ll lay my head As I close my eyes I dream up a vision where you come alive My heart is beating still My heart is beating still My heart...

Tumbleweed 03:24
The wind blows strong here on the ranch I can almost see the grasses dance The raven fights against the wind The ancient oak tree settles in And you, you capture the wind In the strands of your hair Oh yeah, oh yeah Tiny cyclones are born then die Tree limbs fall to where they lie Foxtails cling to every thread The dust keeps swirling overhead And you, you capture the wind In the strands of your hair Oh yeah, oh yeah And we, we fall to our knees And our bodies Roll around like tumbleweed The winds of change lash out tonight This gust, just us, outrunning fright Boughs, they bend, they creak and sway They hold up the sky another day But you, you capture the wind In the strands of your hair Oh yeah, oh yeah And we, we fall to our knees And our bodies Roll around like tumbleweed

Old Ravine 03:34
I threw your heart away Flung it deep into the woods Went looking for it today Like an addict for his goods Found Mother Mary No child in her arms And bottles that used to carry All those promises and charms Take me down That old ravine Where I threw away your love Trying to get clean I scoured the forest floor Hoping to get back Your love, my mind and more Before the nights turned black Footprints and broken branches They’re coming in real close To that man in the trenches Chasing his own ghost Take me down That old ravine Where I threw away your love Trying to get clean When the rains come down hard And the earth drinks it all I wonder if your heart Will weather the fall This little darkness of mine That won’t leave me be No matter how many times I throw it down the old ravine Take me down That old ravine Where I threw away your love Trying to get clean

about

Rosy Nolan Los Angeles, California

With her cowgirl hat, platinum bob and 1940s Western getups, L.A.-based artist Rosy Nolan evokes midcentury California honky- tonk legends such as Rose Maddox and Jean Shepard. But the San Francisco native honed her performance chops in riot-grrl and post-punk indie bands across the US and the UK before finding her new sound in L.A.’s tight-knit old-time community. ... more
