lyrics

200 dollars and a bottle of jack
girl on my mind and a monkey on my back
an hour and a half from our destination
i'm looking at 25 years incarceration

I gotta heavy heart from the things i've done
it takes a hard man to live this life on the run
i can a sharp blade under my bed
come down him and he he'll be the one who ends up dead

train keeps a rollin' on through the night
nothin' but darkness in its sight
the hounds are howling and the moon is full
where it's gonna stop, nobody knows

now when i was a kid i always flew straight
i loved everyone i had no time for the hate
then a girl came along, ripped my heart in two
the devil on my shoulder knew what he had to do

now if only these shackles weren't weighing me down
i'd take this train, i'd turn my life around
once you're on that track it can be hard to see
wake up to realize you're never gonna be free

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more

Tom Savage recommends:

Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska

This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness. Tom Savage

Enderness
by A.A. Bondy

This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music. Tom Savage
