about

I wrote this song for our friends at Buzzard's Roost Whiskey a few years ago. Fast forward to today and we are officially teaming up to spread the gospel - Whiskey and Americana music go together pretty darn well.

lyrics

I can be a fox in the tall grass
Stubborn as a big old steer
Tough like a ten pound tomcat
Quiet as a white tail deer
But I prey like a buzzard all spread wing
Feed on fallen and feared
Everyone’s gotta be something
And I can tell you ain’t from around here

Sip a spell, rye’r two
Higher’n hell now, tried and true
Never gonna fly where the other’s do
You can find me out here where the buzzard’s roost

Never did meet me a long day
I couldn’t outdrink and drown
No such thing as a wrong way
When there ain’t no way around
Fields all sitting at full wheat
Sunlight giving up ground
Some folks giving up good meat
We might just tear it on down

Sip a spell, rye’r two
Higher’n hell now, tried and true
Never gonna fly where the other’s do
You can find me out here where the buzzard’s roost

Might be a little bit lonely
Circling way up high
But I’ve never been the one only
Beast picking at what died
Twenty of us for every one of you
We got the numbers on our side
But come on out where the buzzard’s roost
It’s pert near supper time

Sip a spell, rye’r two
Higher’n hell now, tried and true
Never gonna fly where the other’s do
You can find me out here where the buzzard’s roost

Sip a spell, rye’r two
Higher’n hell now, tried and true
Never gonna fly where the other’s do
You can find me out here where the buzzard’s roost
