New Single “The Proof” to be released

DH — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:55:20 +0000

On November 20, “The Proof” will be available for digital download and streaming. “The Proof” picks up where “Bullet for a Broken Heart” left off, mixing atmospheric folk music with the dual attack of Hodges’ smoky voice and frenetic fretwork. Dark, twangy and lively, it’s the story of a wanted man who runs from the law, only to find that “you can’t escape the hangman’s noose.” Rumspringa, featuring “The Proof” and other original songs, will be released in early 2013.

The track features a guest vocalist, Streamsound recording artist, Jaida Dreyer. It was also featured on the most recent Twang Nation podcast alongside several other Shoals artists including: The Pollies, Jason Isbell and Doc Dailey. To hear Jaida Dreyer check out her website at www.jaidadreyer.com

Bullet For A Broken Heart Lyrics

DH — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:03:42 +0000

I caught my woman with him
He’s a judge from the city
I’ll trade a bullet for a broken heart
I chased him on up the road
And when he begged me for mercy
I’ll trade a bullet for a broken heart

My love, she was a stillborn
My love, dead to me from the start
I know she’ll never love me again
But I’ll trade a bullet for a broken heart

I saw my face on a sign
I saw my name in the papers
I’ve got to run until my legs go cold
County dug me a grave
But they ain’t never gonna catch me
I’ve got to run until my legs go cold

My love, she was a stillborn
My love, dead to me all along
I know these eyes will never see her again
I’ve got to run until my legs go cold

Got the law on my back
But I ain’t going to the jailhouse
Cold mountain river gonna take me home
I can outrun a man
but I ain’t faster than a bloodhound
Cold mountain river gonna take me home

Well they followed my scent
To the top of the hillside
Cold mountain river gonna take me home
I never knew how to swim
Now there’s no time to learn it
Cold mountain river gonna take me home

My love, she’s resting quietly
My love, dead to me all along
I know she’s never gonna touch him again
Cold mountain river gonna take me home
