about

For our latest single ‘Knoxville, TN’ we abandoned the autotune and the extravaganza of a studio and simplified things. It was refreshing to create in this environment. The song explores a tale of love and loss, but mostly loss. It provides a glimpse into the story book of when things change, you’re left longing for what you once had, and ultimately come to the realization that what you had is never coming back again.

lyrics

She took off to Knoxville, TN
Left the kids and the mortgage here with me
After all what was a girl to do
When she's living a life she swears she didn't choose

She vanished like cigarette smoke
Like sand she slipped right through my hands
Was it just a twisted cruel cold joke
Or did she have another man

She did not call nor did she write
Never saw her again after that night
There was near next to nothing left I could do
Damn right I'd never wish this on any of you

She vanished like cigarette smoke
Like sand she slipped right through my hands
Was it just a twisted cruel cold joke
Or did she have another man

The kids grew up hard and they grew up mean
I tried just about everything and in between
Leaving me was easy I do suppose
Now we're all living with what she chose

She vanished like cigarette smoke
Like sand she slipped right through my hands
Was it just a twisted cruel cold joke
Or did she have another man
