lyrics

mgd

i turned to speak but you were gone
capped up in a spiralsong
curling through, on into blue
leaving me to wonder

whatever happend to his old guitar?
left out in your mom’s backyard
i never knew a stranger tune
come speak if you surrender

to this lazy little girl you know i am
thinking how you done me wrong before you have
to this lazy little girl you know i am
thinking how you done me wrong before you have
thinking how you done me wrong before you have

ever gotten back to what you lost?
junior year in the first hard frost
when you learned to smoke and sympathize
with girls too much your senior

in the mornings i’m colder now
did you wanna know any of this, anyhow?
well i suppose not and i suppose that’s all
come speak if you’ll surrender

to this crazy little girl you know i am
wishing on the moon that’s gotten to the head
of this crazy little girl you know i am
wishing on the moon that’s gotten to the head
wishing on the moon that’s gotten to my head

mgd & mountain dew is all i can do
cigarettes & tennishoes
your button-up filled me up
with a taste for you
a taste for you...
so i’ll raise you love
and let it go at this -
frayed edges and the pages bent

Rachel Ries recommends:

Bad Blood
by Ana Egge

Oh Ana Egge! Solid and soft, true teller of stories not always her own. Undeniably sensual. She'll hush a room with the quietest nudge and no one else has a voice like hers. Rachel Ries

The Silver City
by Jeremy Messersmith

Somehow, and this has gone on for years now, I'm pretty much always in the mood to listen to Jeremy. And sing along at high volume, of course. You can also find me singing harmony on Breaking Down. Rachel Ries

Rail To Reel
by Andru Bemis

Longtime collaborator, gem of a man, and the biggest heart in the midwest. It's all beautiful. Rail to Reel has some of my voice and Andru engineered and played & sang all over my album, For You Only. Rachel Ries
