lyrics

Burn everything that’s left
There ain’t much to see
A lonely man’s a loaded gun and I’m drunk in the armory

Got a feelin’ for the odds
They’re feelin’ pretty high
Showing off this losing hand a corner at a time

There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave

When there’s trouble ‘round the eyes
And tossin’ in the night
Cause everyone I ever loved has gone and seen the light

Wash the worry from my face
Press my wedding clothes
Gonna dress the part if I’m to see you again I suppose

There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave

A bad land and a bended knee
Howlin' in the shade
It's been a chasten heavy, it's been a year today

Dry horse and a heathen heart
A heavy handed pair
You can lead me to the water, better drown me when I'm there
You can lead me to the water, better drown me when I'm there

There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave

about

Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel Nashville, Tennessee

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. Their wildcat live performances take listeners to a dusty, forlorn, but strangely familiar place that simply gets sweeter with time. ... more

Depreciated

Another solid effort start to finish. Very much a life lesson storytelling lyricist. To me still is very similar to James McMurtry which is not a bad thing. Looks like another album is dropping soon. That’s good news. Yimmy Kil
