Recorded live January '20

lyrics

There was a time you were the purest soul I knew.
The breaks went out somewhere near Amarillo.
I was not there but a shadow it knocked you down.
Now you're so cold, Milwaukee can't compare.

And if I said a word you'd just laugh and call me out.
As if some kind of stranger they'd opened their mouth.
Now I sit back and I pray you find the balance between pain and anger and a calloused heart.

I used to watch from the rafters in the trees.
Yes and all that wit, it does not make you right.
With a whistle and a howl you'd turn with the wolves.
I'd spend my nights calling out to you.

And if I said a word you'd just laugh and call me out.
As if some kind of stranger they'd opened their mouth.
Now I sit back and I pray you find the balance between pain and anger and a calloused heart.

J.W. Teller Jackson, Mississippi

“His songs reflect this sensibility, along with sometimes painful experiences from living under what was essentially a small-town theocracy.” (Doug Hill, Norman Transcript)
