lyrics

I can't tell you anything you don't wanna believe
Likewise I can't convince you you're not as evil as you seem
I can't fix you forget you
I'm merely held together with glue that's faulty
Forget me I ain't gonna waste time tellin you nothin you don't believe anyway
Roughneck from the wrong side of the tracks
You're a little rough around the edges I never want pristine
You're my muscle car shiny and sometimes you're Christine
I won't say it you know it silence don't make anything less true
Do you think I'd stay if I didn't love you
You're impossible I'm impossible
Together the possibilities
Roughneck from the wrong side
Sometimes I feel nervous the sky
For me, for me and you
Will the sky ever be blue?
Roughneck from my side of the tracks

about

The Second Wife Chapel Hill, North Carolina

As I was recovering from a heart problem, I amassed a huge amount of songs. I asked the best and most versatile musicians I know to help me make a record. Bob Wall (Razzle) played guitar, Dave Perry (Jett Rink) played bass, and Chuck Garrison (Superchunk) played drums. Chris Gilchrist (Shipwrecker), played lap steel and Caitlin Cary (Whiskytown),
did background vocals. It's called Tourist.
