lyrics

I woke to the sound of a military band
Five old dirt coats full of brass buttons
Tell the horse to swing down low
On the hill outside my home
God give but he pretty damn good at the take
Took my ma and my pa and got his hand on my neck
Three boys buried way down low
In that hill outside my home

Broke down at the bottom of a big old hill
I’m a fool with a broken heart
Time’s heavy for a man with plenty to kill
And I don’t know where to start
And I got no time for hope
I’m old and growing older
And this town, it is a joke
It’s cold and growing colder
Like my brothers in the hill outside my home

Whole world stained black from a coal mine
Ain’t got coal boots because I sold mine
Don’t need them where I’m going
Heart flush and aces showing

I swept the leaves from in front of the door
No use cause I ain’t coming back anymore
Old mister rooster crowing
Heart flush and aces showing

Broke down at the bottom of a big old hill
I’m a fool with a broken heart
Time’s heavy for a man with plenty to kill
And I don’t know where to start
And I got no time for hope
I’m old and growing older
And this town, it is a joke
It’s cold and growing colder
Like my brothers in the hill outside my home

They were men who were known for a song and a dance
You could tell how it goes from the mud in their hands
When they up on the hill and crawling
And the kingdom’s tears are falling

I will go late at night by the light of the moon
Sweet breeze on the hill sing a military tune
I can hear my momma bawling
As the kingdom’s tears were falling

Broke down at the bottom of a big old hill
I’m a fool with a broken heart
Time’s heavy for a man with plenty to kill
And I don’t know where to start
And I got no time for hope
I’m old and growing older
And this town, it is a joke
It’s cold and growing colder
Like my brothers in the hill outside my home

Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel delivers through a virtual “who’s-who” of crack Midwest musicians who have assembled around Necci’s heartfelt and heartbreaking songs.

Kill County’s moment of scaling the very pinnacle of how good music can be comes on Brownlee on this album. They also come very close on a number of other occasions. This is that good. davekillcountysmith
