lyrics

BIG DARK WORLD OF HATE AND LIES

Big black crow c’mon and swoop on down
I know you want to scatter all my bones around
Big black dog done followed me
And I’m so tired of pretending to act naturally
I’ve done my best to do what’s right
In a big dark world of hate and lies
City gal so dark as night
All she wants to do is fight
Country gal so full of light
She’s the only gal tonight
Well if you want to get to Heaven you got to go through Hell
Cause whatever you want you got to get it yourself
And I got mine cause I jumped the gate
No one can sit on the fence during judgement day
I’ve done my best to do what’s right
In a big dark world of hate and lies

I’ve done good and I done bad
Depending on the gal I had
I’ve done wrong and I’ve done right
Who’s gonna be my gal tonight
I done my best not to pick a side
But there come’s a time when everybody’s got to decide
What you’re gonna do when the sun don’t rise
Stop your crying and live your life
And do your best to do what’s right
In a big dark world of hate and lies

about

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
