In a thousand years
You wonder how it'd be
To walk the ancient yards
Of all the places left
Abandoned or eclipsed
Would you notice still
The ones we'd once called home?
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how

This heart aches on and on for you
Forever, all the days we'd lose
Wishing that something
Beautiful would stay
Better keep moving on and on
And on and on and on and on
Better keep moving

You start turning back
Wondering how it's fared
Your love, all overgrown
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how
The garden's spilled over
I want to show you how
This heart aches on and on
This heart aches on and on

Money has no place in my kingdom 
You take her down the street 
Look at all your girls she gonna meet

I watched her walk away 
I heard she sealed her fate 

It's surely something simple then 
I wanna be your man 
Is there something I haven't said yet

It's surely something simple then 
I wanna be your man 
Is there something I haven't said yet 
I'll leave it up to you

Well I'm a complex being 
With complex feelings and 
Complex meanings 
Of what it means to love 
But at least it's real
Oh yes it is honey 

So much has coincided 
So much I can't ignore

It's surely something simple then 
I wanna be your man 
Is there something I haven't said 

It's surely something simple then 
I wanna be your man 
Is there something I haven't said yet 
I'll leave it up to 

Someone keeps holding me back from her
Someone keeps holding me back from her
Someone keeps holding me back from her
Someone keeps holding me back from her
Alright 

Ooooohhhhhhhhh

Back Against the Wall is an outlaw-country record built on grit, scars, and resilience. It’s the story of holding on when the world tries to break you — of finding freedom in dirt roads, family, memory, and truth, even when the weight of survival presses hard.

The album opens with “Dirt Roads and Dogs”, a free-spirited escape into the country soul, before diving into the raw defiance of “Frankly, I Don’t Give a Damn.” Tracks like “Sunday Porchlight” and “The Sky Remembers” provide heart and reflection, anchoring the record in stories of grace and memory. “We Were Soldiers Too” serves as its haunting tribute, honoring sacrifice and courage with reverence.

The title track “Back Against the Wall” and “The Last Free Thinker” drive the album’s rebellious core, confronting modern struggles and the cost of survival with unflinching honesty. To balance the fire, “Pickin’ Trouble” delivers rowdy bluegrass energy, while “Let ’Em Be Kids” strips back the noise to remind us what’s worth protecting.

Together, these songs form a litany of truth: that even in chaos and collapse, there’s defiance, there’s love, and there’s still something worth standing for. Back Against the Wall is not just an album — it’s an outlaw hymnbook for hard times.
