about

" 'Bitter Coffee Cowboy' starts out like a song written for a movie Western soundtrack ('Young Guns,' 'Heaven’s Gate') but then both lyrically and musically recalls the wonderful and sadly missed Nanci Griffith. Sofia Chiarandini adds a touch of class with her fiddle."

lyrics

Came up from New York town
Found his heart amongst the hills
For glory he was bound
A true man of his word if you will

Didn’t have a need for his cell phone
Or a interest in a new clean suite
Burning logs right down to the bone
Soul tall as the leaves heart down to the root

Better get on boy
If you want to get to school
Ain't never been coy
To play by societies rule

Sharpening knives by fireside
Colter Wall and a whiskey perfume
No one’s shy or needs to hide
Let the candles flicker and flume

All the girls thought he was a catch
But there’s a bump in every road
Like a high class bumb he’s fetch
It’s this sweet song he’d showed

Some might say he was mut
Dirty blue jeans and leather gloves
You would say he’s stuck in a rut
He’s just trying to make everyone love

Raise your glass to you and me
Raise it to eternity
You might think it's all ending now
Someday we can show them how
there ain’t no words that don’t sound sweet
If the g-ds are at your feet
There ain’t no hill to far from heaven
long as you've got townes’s bandit boy
and your thick skinned bitter coffee cowboy

Last time (Spirit of the Rockies and your thick skinned bitter coffee cowboy)
