lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I done seen my share of bars
That highway's callin' and I long to count those stars
I ain't seen the sunshine so I do not cuss the rain
My feet don't fit no railroad and this world has changed my name

My soul needs saving and my fortune needs a swell
And it's been a year now since I faced those hounds of Hell
So with a broken compass and map that's burned to chars
I headed south to find some new stars

The worst part of lonely's when there's no one left to blame
I ain't worth shootin' or the slab to carve my name

My coat's in tatters and the jewel's gone from my crown
I ain't worth shootin' or the dirt to lay me down

There's a man there in that tavern, he's making money sitting still
But his woman sits at home and counts the days that pass in pills
'Cause you can keep on gunning for that pot of gold
Or you can keep on coming home to those you hold

This world keeps turning on those lives about to start
This drought won't break and there's a housefire in my heart
So I'll let this whiskey burn the rest down to the frame
And I'll drink a toast to all the dreams inside those flames

The nights grow longer and the days all seem the same
I ain't worth shootin' or the slab to carve my name
Only job left in this rodeo's to play the clown
I ain't worth shootin' or the dirt to lay me down

My ramblin' knows no bounds but this road knows no shame
I ain't worth shootin' or the slab to carve my name
If somethin' falls in this hollow heart's it make a sound?
I ain't worth shootin' or the dirt to lay me down

Brandon Mullis Augusta, Georgia

I'm a primarily acoustic singer/songwriter who's been writing lyrical folk/Americana music for more than 20 years. I play all over the eastern USA, and my influences range from Neil Young to Alice in Chains to Jason Isbell to David Allan Coe. I love good melodies and heartfelt stories, and I try to pass along the best ones I can.
