Under an open sky
Of ghostly light
A man feels like
He ain't much there
But it soothes the mind
To know with the passing of time
Ones passions and crimes
Turn to air
Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way
And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway
Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend
It's just one more place that I'll never see again
Well I've heard some say
There's an open plane
That spreads for days
Without a care
And it's peopled with
A lonesomeness
That once come across just seems to stare
Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way
And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway
Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend
It's just one more place that I'll never see again
Well I was passed Baton Rouge
When I heard the news
And knew it true
I'd been displaced
And then I had the thought
That the dream I'd sought
And believed well fought
Had all been chase
Oh Ellie
Why you gotta go girl
Oh Ellie
Why you gotta go
I chased your name
Left good men slain
And hardened my case against the world
All in the name
Of a long dead flame
And the angry love of a pretty girl
Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way
And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway
Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend
It's just one more place that I'll never see again
Maybe shaking just a little of the country dust off for this album, but still with the on-the-nose, clever, relatable lyrics, this is Esther’s most innovative album yet
P.S. really missin ol’ Matt Bell on the lapsteel James Champion
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead.
