City city girl is such a pity
No time to lick your wounds little kitty
Your days are full of emptiness
Burning bridges backward to the start
Left it all hanging with my hat and my heart
Mama bake a pie I'm coming home
Please have no expectations
Forgive me my transgression
I need a little time with my friend
You're gonna miss me so love me now
I'm gonna leave you and I'll tell you how
A six-string ticket on a midnight train
Making money just doesn't pay
I eat what I kill at the end of the day
The sun goes down and I feel fine
Please have no expectations
Forgive me my transgression
I need a little time with my friend
I never carry more than I must
To walk the roads of gravel and dust
A man only needs a name and two good hands
City city girl is such a pity
No time to lick your wounds little kitty
Your days are full of emptiness
Please have no expectations
Forgive me my transgression
I need a little time with my friend

Words and Music by Blake Abbott and Dan Fields
Arrangement by Polecat Rodeo
There are lots of talented, exuberant bands out there, but very few with the power to produce pure joy with their music. For example, The Oh Hellos. Don't miss this, that's all. Polecat Rodeo
The Canoes are back and better than ever with their wry songs of Midwestern adolescent woe. Sharper, clearer, more bitterly hilarious than Roger, and that's saying a lot. Polecat Rodeo
This compilation of songs from cult legend Jay Bolotin has the same stark beauty as prime Leonard Cohen and Jackson C. Frank. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2018
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
