lyrics

Spent two years living down in the hole Two more years and then I caught parole And I don’t know exactly who I’ll be
Did my time and then they set me free
Did my time and then they set me free.

When you’re young you don’t think about doing time When you’re old you just want to rewind I wish I could change things all around
Grabbed the sky but then I hit the ground Grabbed the sky but then I hit ground

Me i’m in a bedroom with some woman that i don’t think i’ve ever met before
I’m only here because I got nowhere else I could go I keep trying, I keep trying out all of my love songs Hoping she might pull me through
Hoping she might me through
Like you used to do.
But she never calls me babydoll.

Can’t forget what went on inside that cell Don’t remember when I first felt unwell
And I don’t like living here in shame
Got no one else but myself to blame
Got no one else but myself to blame
Me I’m in the back seat of a car that
I ain’t even drove before
I’m killing time until the world it starts
Slowing down more.
I keep trying out all of my love songs
Hoping she might pull me through
Hoping she might pull me through
Hoping she might pull me through
Hoping she might me through
Like you used to do.
But she never calls me babydoll

Matt York Boston, Massachusetts

Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald says, "You have to have smarts and heart to turn the same three chords Buddy Holly used into something fresh. On Matt York’s “Boston, Texas,” the singer-songwriter uses basic building blocks — Holly’s chords, Hank Williams’ swagger, Steve Earle’s boozy wisdom, Paul Westerberg’s straight-up-drunk wisdom — to construct an album of beauty, optimism and heartbreak". ... more
