about

Wanted you to hear this...Has a "Paisley underground" feel to it.
Paisley Underground was a neo-psychedelia music scene in Cali/LA in the mid 90's; Think Green on Red or Rain Parade, two exponents of it))
The vibe, the rawness here is what I love...
enjoy, folks!

lyrics

Boom & Bust Towns (Most Decent Folks)
words & music: bill mallonee c BMI 2016

Going nation-wide going coast to coast
6 string drag on a J-50
lonely?
That don't even come close

Fell in love with the songs
fell in love with the stories
the saints and the sinners and the ragged glory
running through my veins; running through the pouring rain

Chorus
there's always the string of boom & bust towns
most decent folks don't want you around

I don't mean to be forward, i just wanna be real
honey, you the kinda girl a fella should steal
and i'd care for your spirit the best way i know how
'Cause life is like lightening and the world is a storm
some days you wish you'd never been born
but that's how you know you still haven't found your home

Chorus
there's always the string of boom & bust towns
most decent folks don't want you around

i saw it too late...by then i was a goner
paint yourself into a corner
a convert to the asphalt, kerosene & creosote
put on a fringe jacket and some cheap cologne
if you've got the road you may not need a home
there's so many ways a person can get born

Chorus
there's always the string of boom & bust towns
most decent folks don't want you around
