lyrics

You said you loved me, then you walked away/ You said that you just didn't feel the same/ I cried and begged but it was way too late to hold onto you/ And now this empty house is way too big/ My one companion is the tv screen/ I want to call you but I know you won't pick up the phone

You made me breathless but now I can't breathe/ It gave me life but now it's become the death of me/ When you stole your love from me

I'm headed south, bound for San Antone/ I'm tired of sitting in this room all alone/ Because everything in this god damn town reminds me of you/ Kansas City's just around the bend/ This town will always make me think of when/ I came back home for you and swept you up off your feet again

My loverina has gone away from me/ And our sweet happiness has faded into memory/ Loverina, where can you be

Is it country? Is it honkytonk? Is it rock and roll? Garage? Indie? Western? Cow punk? Rockabilly? Tex-Mex?

The answer is yes. We call it alt twang but it can most accurately be described as great music that you will love. ... more
