Oh my friend he was a gambler
Broken down by idle hands
And he came on down to Georgia 
Tried to be a better man

Now his girl’s gone up and left him
She’s too righteous to be free
So he came on down to Georgia
Yeah he came on down to me 

Now I never get excited
I have always been alone
I had a handshake with the devil
To hide my heart and save my home

And I don’t believe he loves me
And I don’t believe he’s kind
But I know the weight I carried
Now that I have made him mine

Oh, I’m ready for the love, I’m ready for the hate
I’m ready for the scorn, I’m ready for the shame
I’m ready for my heart, I”m ready for the pain
But another day
No I can’t go on this way 

When the devil’s work was over
And he slept for seven days
Held his work up in the mirror
Man and God, it was the same

And I’m counting all my blessings
And I’m counting on my fears
No more dreaming here in Georgia
No more sleeping off the years

Oh, I’m ready for the love, I’m ready for the hate
I’m ready for the scorn, I’m ready for the shame
I’m ready for my heart, I”m ready for the pain
But another day
No I can’t go on this way 
I can’t go on this way
I can’t go on this way

A literal reconstruction of my most popular song to date, "Nothing but the Rain." Formerly low key and folksy, it's been plugged in and turned up a few notches.

Singer, songwriter, indie folk, alternative rock, occasional instrumental/ambient/classical music, always a little strange.
