Recorded live with no overdubs in a barn in Evansville, IN
The recording was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Brett Siler of MotherBrain Sound Infrastructure.

lyrics

I got a job in the Badlands
Working in the mines for a spell
Up and married this redhead
Well, she knows how to give me hell
I got this truck and this bad buzz real cheap
Yeah, it'll take them both just to carry me on down

Down the road, away from the river where you first laid hands on me
Pushed me down, held me under, nary a light did I see
The sky was blue, the faces were smiling
Your mother was signing to me
You cried & so did I, I tried but I couldn't believe in you

You and me just dancing under them cigarette trees
Smoking Big Rock Candy Mountains, wishing we had something to eat
Now we don't even roll 'em up, we just sit around
And have entire conversations without making a sound

Gotta leave these Badlands, I gotta get out now
When they find your body, I'll be well on my way south
I think I took the wrong stuff, now I cannot see
Is this your ghost choking that life out of me?
