When I met you we were youngAnd like gasoline to matchesWaking up drunkSleeping through your early classesI grew up and grew dullAnd you say you wished I hadn’tWell I’m drunk againAnd you’re guilty like you’re Irish catholic But you ain’t no saintAnd I ain’t one eitherGuess that’s why I’m lying here Cause I knowThat I’m … Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties – You Ain’t No Saint (lyrics)

People are starting to tear down their Christmas lightsIt never got cold here but they know that the season’s diedAnd I’ve been sleeping in a motel off 95I don’t really mind it muchThe clerk at the desk is niceWell, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it’s been a long night Well, I … Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties – The Thunderbird Inn (lyrics)

I got sick of the silenceI got tired of the darkI was sleeping in late, I was wasting away, I was dying in small partsSo I lit up a smoke andTook a walk through the parkThe dead leaves scrape concrete making it sound like you’re next to me, arm in armI was putting holes in … Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties – St. Joe Keeps Us Safe (lyrics)
Hey, Holy Ghost, why’d you leave me?
