Episode Date: December 12, 2024

Patrick interviews Jon Bailey and the Heathen Revival w/ Musical Performance!

uh from the video but uh this is john bailey and the heathen revival what's going on man what's up and this is john bailey i am john bailey yeah and alex and jc huber that's right that's right so guys i i know it's a super exciting time for you and i'm uh man i'm glad to have you in the studio right now you've got this uh big deal with sony that's going on and uh tell me about it tell me what's happening what's going on with the band um yeah i'll take this one uh it's uh we got a distribution deal from sony a couple of i guess it's been about six months ago now yeah um and uh basically they uh are letting us cut a full-length record which will be our first full-length record.

And so we're in the studio right now working on that. We just dropped our first single about a month ago. It's called Requiem. You can find it everywhere. So we're really excited to see that doing pretty good right now. Man, that's amazing to hear that you've done that. Now, where did you start start did you start right here locally yeah yeah of course man uh i've you know i grew up going to shows around here a lot um when i was

younger i was in the really heavy into the punk rock scene around here so i went to a lot of shows at vinos um a lot of shows uh little punk rock clubs around here whitewater tavern seen a lot of shows yeah of course uh then back old juanitas yeah old juanitas yep um back at the village i don't know do y'all remember yeah of course i remember the village man i remember when snoop dog came there yeah man i think i remember that too actually yeah well a lot of people went but still don't remember it was a good show you know what i mean yeah but yeah i started around here uh okay just going to shows and stuff and um you know who were your inspirations man so that's like uh that's a weird question because um you know obviously we grew up in arkansas um so i grew up listening to george

jones and uh willie nelson sure chris roberts Blaze Foley, you know, like songwriters. My mom was a big songwriter fan. And then also my dad, man, he was really big into like Van Halen. Hell yeah. 51-50 was like a pinnacle record at our house. Okay. Front to back. He was a Sammy guy.

Oh yeah. Okay. All right. Now I like Sammy. I always did like Sammy when he was solo. Yeah. And he was great with Van Halen. Just, you know, that, that particular timeframe has so many keyboards in it. It, I know it hurts my heart. It's the time of the synth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, did you like OG Van Halen? Yeah, man, I'm, I'm not a huge David Lee Roth fan. No,

you know, just the, it's the, I's the, I'm not one for the showman. Okay, you're not on the machismo scene. Man, I'm not into karate kicks and stuff. No? I don't know, I just couldn't get into it. But I like his voice. He had some really cool songs, man. Obviously, iconic songs.

Yeah, yeah, no, I got you, I got you. Seeing you live had me fooled on the karate kicks. Yeah, well, it takes a certain amount of sobriety not to do a karate kick. I've been known to kick some shit, yeah. Okay, okay. But yeah, I mean, I just, I grew up with a lot of rock and roll and country influences. And then, you know, my grandma, I'd sit in the kitchen with my grandma when I was a kid. And she'd be listening to like Ray Charles.

Oh, yeah. And stuff. So I love some of the blues. And I love soul and blues music. she'd be listening to like ray charles oh yeah and stuff so i love some of the blues and i love soul and blues music um as i got a little bit older and more angsty you know i got into punk rock and uh emo and metalcore and stuff like that you know so i spent a lot of time listening to bands like taken back sunday and uh you know kind of emo punk bands like kind of a wide range of influence yeah and that makes for interesting music to come out

yeah and so that that's like now fast forward to now i've always wanted to create kind of uh you know oklahoma has like red dirt country which is like a it's like a blended version of like rock and country right yeah right right texas has like texas country which is kind of the same yes and uh as far as arkansas goes man i'm just trying to like put our own sound here in arkansas so we we call it shred dirt it's like uh it's like if nirvana had a baby with willie nelson okay now that's a great description right there that's a great description and uh i think it's right on time with the market i hope so man well no it it is it's exactly on time with the market right now. I've been watching it. You know, look, I guess by default, I'm a student of the game of music.

And I've watched, you know, the journeys of different bands and how they evolve and what happens. And more than that, though, how the music scene evolves. Because if you go back to the 80ss the top of the charts in the top 40 you would have rock you'd have predominantly pop rock in there okay then it kind of expanded and you had everything in the 80s start to come on but it wasn't until really the 90s till country started kind of coming over and crossover right yeah and at that time uh it still was kind of they were still separate for the most part and then hip-hop kind of took over dominant for about the past decade but then there was this change because

rock and i'll tell you exactly what happened and when it happened it happened uh because i was you know on the other station uh and and i looked at someone i said you're telling me that avenge sevenfold is the most mainstream band we're playing right now right now look i love avenge seven sure yeah dudes are badass i've seen them live you know i saw them with joey jordison and the spinning drum thing you know yeah uh and it was dope but they're not mainstream right to be honest with you you know and at that time rock had gotten to this place where they became the elitist they were like if you're not this type of band we don't want you repping right now. Right.

You know? And so, you know, that's where Nickelback started getting made fun of. You know, one of the greatest. And Sam Quentin still rocks. I don't give a shit. Oh, man. I don't care, man. I'll jam it.

You know? Now, did I download it? No. But if it comes on, I'm jamming it, you know? Yeah. But my point being is that rock was no longer a, I hate to say it, a safe space for a variety of music. And so everybody started flipping the country. And you look at, you know, Hootie opened some doors. But I do credit a lot of that with the frontman Aaron Lewis staying.

You know, he really, that was a big thing for rock for him. That was almost as big as run dmc and aerosmith yeah you understand what i when i say that what i mean by that man and so that was the moment the dam broke and everybody went hold on they're partying over on the countryside that's what's that's where everybody's cool yeah and and and so you had all these things hiccup uh you had the rock and i mean everything started fusing the country and now it's dominating uh music everywhere i mean jelly roll i mean look at look at the fusion going on he has exploded he has and and and i think there's two things that, that it boils down to number one,

your shit's good. Okay. Your shit's good. Your shit's good. I don't care what genre you're in. If it's good, it's good. But number two, it's this whole different attitude. It's a whole different vibe of we're not better than everybody. We're you know i don't need you to worship let's just have a good time together i'm down to earth if i see i'm gonna shake your hand we're gonna talk i don't want to be those guys yeah i don't want an us against them thing i want it to be we're cool and and that's what shifted in the model that's why the post malone's that's why you have the jelly rolls yeah is these people said wait a minute you're my people i'm your people why are we acting like we're not yeah and and i think that that is the beauty of what's going on right now yeah i couldn't agree with you

more man um we just got done playing a crash cast cover show at veno's yeah and uh you know we were way out of place there but not really because i grew up in that club right so it was just really cool to kind of bridge that gap with everybody you know um so i don't know this is a really fun show man but just we're not a band you would expect to see at veno's you know i think that's great though because if it gives you the opportunity to win the crowd when you're not supposed to am i right yeah absolutely and that was what i was going to say i think they actually rather enjoyed it what we did it was high intensity like it wasn't rock and metal what they're used to but at the same time they had a damn good time you pin their

you pin their ears back exactly yeah i mean that's what you're doing yeah you pinned them back and then to go from that and then just last friday we played at stickies with this like spaghetti western type act yeah really cool shit they had like a steel on a steel guitar on stage and yeah it was killing it on that but just the ah what's the word i'm looking for the dynamics man yeah the vibe the change the different type of uh musicality and how we can fit in with different different groups yeah yeah and i think that's something that like we've all as a group sort of um elaborated on how we want to go to play Welcome to Rockville and then go play in Austin, Texas. Let me ask you the same thing.

Who was your, when you were growing up, how did you get into music? So I got into music because of church. My dad was a pastor growing up. Okay. And so they needed a musician and they were like, hey, Jay, go pick that up. Okay. I just did it. Right.

they're like hey jay go pick that up okay i just did it right but um growing up um a lot of influences were like blackstone cherry yeah sign down okay um a lot of that so uh some of the good mainstream edgy rock yeah yeah and i i've really connected with blackstone cherry because it got a lot of that country rockabilly vibes in it yeah and that's why i loved it chris robertson is hands down the best guitar player i've ever seen live man i hear you on that so slept on so slept on but um taking that and then that's a great hold on that's a great point though i mean i mean what a great guitarist yeah yeah he really is i mean um just growing up and trying to learn the stuff that he does on stage while doing lead vocals right while playing lead guitar and putting on a good show at the same time it's that's very

challenging isn't it it is it is really to be honest so so that was your kind of influence uh uh musically yeah yeah growing up for the majority of my life until I got a little bit older and started dabbling in the metal and punk. And I mean, now one of my favorite bands is August Burns. I know those guys and they shred. I mean, they do. I mean, they'll melt your face. Yeah, completely polar opposite of the spectrum. But I think that's, you know, one thing about the metal crowd now or it used to be was they were the

most accepting yeah you know they didn't care I mean you you you would find them list they might listen to Taylor Swift they don't give a shit you know they just like everything that's just their form of outlet you know tell us again how did you come up musically what what got you involved in music so when i first started playing guitar it was mostly listening to like guns and roses motley crew and stuff like that but before that riding around in my dad's truck with just me him and my sister it was always like hank senior william nelson just all that kind of shit i'm going through the 90s here's what i'll tell you that i did not grow up in general as a country music guy that's that i was a rock guy i was a rap guy i was i like those predominantly were my favorite thing

uh i'm a product of the 80s so you get that right but it doesn't matter when you're in arkansas even if you're not a country music person you're a country music person you hear the songs you know the songs you're around people who love the songs i mean you're not escaping the dna of country in arkansas it's so deeply rooted here you know know, and they're damn sure, even if you say, oh, I only like rock or I only like, it doesn't matter. There's a country song that's going to come on and you're going to be singing it. You're going to go, well, I mean, I do know this one. You know what I mean? Is that not true? Yeah. So, uh, tell them, Jason, what are you doing? What do you play? I play a rhythm guitar and I play rhythm guitar and whatever else needs to be done.

Usually it involves taking off my clothes and getting the crowd pretty hyped. I'm sure they would be. Now, it sounds like a great show. What do you do? Do you just work the pole? Yeah, yeah, pretty much. If I see a single dollar bill, I'm getting down for it. Yeah, no, I understand.

You're going to work it. I appreciate that. He's picked up money with more things in his hands, I can tell you that. No, I'm getting down. Yeah, no, I understand. You're going to work it. I appreciate that. And money was more things in his hands. I can tell you that. No, I'm certain. Uh, he didn't get the round mouth eating square meals.

What, uh, you play, I play, uh, I guess you'd call it lead guitar. We, we both do lead stuff.

Totally do rhythm stuff. We just, we play guitar. Okay. Okay. And you obviously play guitar yeah i play guitar and uh right i'm not much of a guitar player man but we have eight guitar players so what would you call yourself what kind of guitar player would you would you call yourself

i would probably just rhythm man i just uh play acoustic it's kind of um singer songwriter singer yeah i know i get that yeah so it just kind of adds that aesthetic okay okay okay um so when you're playing with three different guitar players that has to at times uh present challenges now there are bands that have done it obviously uh eagles come to mind they're they're a great one matter of, if they came out today, they would be country. No doubt about it. Am I right? For sure. Yeah.

And now they're labeled rock. Classic rock, right? Yeah. But they're country as hell. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And everybody loves the Eagles. I mean, if you don't like the Eagles, you're probably a commie.

Probably. I'm just being honest. You probably, yeah, you're probably a commie. Maybe an atheist, too. I don't know. Okay, okay. So in the new music that you, you know, you put together, how did you come together with, you know, all these guitars

and all these ideas and all these influences and somehow put it together into a cohesive, badass song? Well, most of our songs start out um just like he was saying like a singer songwriter vibe i write a lot of our stuff um it just starts out as like an acoustic form just kind of like a singer songwriter form okay then we bring it to rehearsal and we try to try to muddy it up a little bit try to turn it into form it into our our sound the sound that we've been kind of shaping for all these years um and it turns into a whole different thing man it's like a it's a whole production you know what i mean yeah it takes it from bare bones to what you hear on

the records uh i think you know for me um where that came into play was uh when i was younger was hearing deaf leopard yeah um because they were unusual and having you know the the power of guitars that they did have in that band and uh it's so much more of a lush sound it's so much fuller yeah yeah you know and uh i always noticed that about them yeah it's very thick sound yeah and and i think that's cool when you can create that lush of a sound harmoniously yeah or aggressively you know and if you can do both yeah it's even better yeah you know so we we tend to lead more towards the aggressive yeah so now let me uh i i don't want to i know sometimes i get in the weeds on music and so I may go too far down but there's a Van Halen album called 1984 and there's a song near the end it's called Girl Gone Bad do you by chance know that anybody know

that I've heard it yeah you have yeah well I was just you know I think about that song and that to me may be one of the most impressive Eddiedie van halen songs probably uh only because of everything he's doing when you shouldn't be doing shit yeah you know what i mean you're supposed to just be in between two notes and he's doing 82 notes in between them uh but kind of like with hip-hop now like migos you know migos everybody knows that of course you see see the difference in the world today people that's dope as shit right there okay but you know Migos they have ad-libs right and that to me yeah yeah that's right mama yeah everybody knows it right that shit gets me I love it you know right yeah I feel like if your guitars are all working together,

it kind of creates that synergy, right? You get it. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a unique thing to have that, that nobody, you know, where two people are doing this one thing and one just is, you know, popping in things. And I mean, your music's dynamic.

I've heard it. It's good. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much. and I mean your music's dynamic I've heard it it's good yeah thank you yeah one of the things that we strive for is for never to have two of us playing the same thing yeah right any point in any song yeah no it's it's great it's like uh you know in basketball when you have a motion offense everybody's moving even without the ball you know you you got this great instrument why are you

standing there not doing you know and i think when you can leverage it like that and work it the way you guys do uh and to me it seems like and maybe i'm wrong but the complexity of your music seems like it would be twice as hard to practice and learn as a regular song would be is does that make sense uh i don't it you may not see it that way because you're that good you know our perspective yeah necessarily that it's it's more you know like we were talking earlier the logistics are the things that nail us down you know rehearsals and and practice and studio stuff that's all fun for us and i would think you know one of the great things about a band like yours too and and I'm just going out on a limb is that with what the instrumentation that

you have and the abilities you have when you do a song live you know some people do a song live and it sounds a little different maybe they throw in a little guitar riff but you could go nearly grateful dead and just jam am i wrong about that we do it every show i assume that that's got to happen right yeah we're a glorified jam band for sure yeah no i mean that's that but that's some of the greatest shit in the world i mean uh pearl jam known for epically doing that right fish grateful dead i mean they're all bands that who widespread panic widespread panic another great great one um like that yeah now who's somebody you like musically that people be like what oh um a band called lawrence um they're like a pop funk fusion band like if motown was current is the best way i explain really yeah now you Yeah. Now you got me intrigued. Yeah, yeah.

How did you discover them? YouTube. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You just found them? They had an, it's like, they call it an acoustic-ish song. And so it's like halfway acoustic, halfway not. And the vocals on it, the harmonies on it blew my mind and instantaneously became a fan okay

so growing up in high school i did a lot of jazz band and stuff like that and we weren't a traditional jazz band we were more fusion than anything playing a shock of gone and yeah um okay and stevie wonder and people like that and so i really got into that and so yeah yeah a lot of funk and so um i've seen this come up and it's been years since i listened to that style of music and i was like oh these guys are freaking killer that's awesome so um uh so yeah that that's my go-to band okay outside of the genre stuff who might uh you listen to the people be like what i was thinking about it since you asked jc and it is hard to nail down one but i would say probably just the whole the whole delta blues type thing okay like are you talking about like um like the robert johnson i

love the robert johnson tape yeah robert, King of the Delta Blues. Just run through those. Man, I've talked and waxed poetically with friends about Led Zeppelin so many times because some people would consider them out-and-out thieves. Others would say this is the way music was happening in these days. Some might say a little of both. Yeah, I would agree with both. Yeah, it's a fascinating thing because if you're a little of both yeah i think i would agree with both yeah it's it's a fascinating thing because you know if you're a fan of robert johnson obviously you know some of his riffs show up along the route in in led zeppelin you know at least at least it kind of warms the song up until they get to what they do yeah you know uh are are you all fans of zeppelin or no of course man yeah yeah of course

okay really no you're there's no mood for me no i didn't know that i didn't know that about either one of you wow you just uh this this could be a riff right now i could have started something epic downfall of john bayland is breaking up yeah uh and and somebody that uh you listen to that would uh be a surprise to everybody uh i don't man i don't know if anybody would be surprised really i listen to all kinds of stuff you know um man um i've been really getting into uh what's that uh teddy swims i like oh hell yeah no teddy swims is the shit, man. His voice is butter, man. No, it is, man, without a doubt. Without a doubt.

No, I do love that guy. I'll tell you a voice that I think is underrated is Anthony Hamilton. Oh, yeah. Do you know who that guy is? Anthony Hamilton. Anthony Hamilton, man, if you ever get a chance, brother, if you just love music. I do. Man, just start with a song called Charlene.

All right. Just play that one. As a matter of fact, I could see maybe someone's even done a country version. I don't know. But, man, what a great song that is. Man, the soul in that guy's voice. Man. Unreal, man.

Oh, no, that dude will get to you. Like Swims or Sturgis or, you know, Chris, I mean. Stapleton. Yeah, Stapleton. Yeah, he's got one of or, you know, Chris, I mean. Stapleton. Yeah, Stapleton. Yeah, he's got one of those, you know. I love people who have super distinct voices, you know. Me too, me too. It's like Ozzy.

It's so weird that this dude can't make a good complete sentence. You turn the mic on, man, and the guy still sounds exactly the same. And it's in nobody else. I mean, there's nobody that sounds like that dude yeah and you know it from note one yeah i always felt that way about tesla oh yeah man they were great yeah i was like oh man i i liked them i saw them when they came with a night ranger and bon jovi cool man yeah barton yeah that's how old i am dog that's how old i am cool man yeah it was a good time it was a good time for sure um so tell me you know now that you guys have got this are you

you know what's what's what's next where are the next shows are we going on the road what what what what what can we do to be part of the success of uh you know the band uh yeah we're uh we're taking the rest of the year off we just played our last uh lazy sons of bitches i bring you in right off the bat you take the year off thanks man wasting my time yeah yeah we're gonna take the rest of the year off yeah we just played our last show at stickies friday that's awesome we are recording though yeah we're working all right all right all right i'll accept that i'll accept that yeah we're working on it all right all right all right i'll accept that i'll accept that yeah we're excited to bring you all this uh new record man it's a it's a it's a you know i try not to i you know i know you can be so humble that it's weird sometimes but it's you know i try to really

not think of us as better than anybody because we're not but this record makes me so excited man it's the first project i've ever had that i genuinely like listening to you know what i mean yeah that you feel a vibe with it about it yeah yeah you know i i i understand your qualm there with with you know on one hand uh giving yourself an accolade and on the other being humble uh but you know factually uh people come together with different synergies and create something bigger and better than any of them and i think that's what's happened here so you know it's not about one thing one entity one note it's about everything coming together and that does make something worth bragging about and we're telling you know what, we may be three regular cats from Arkansas, but damn it. Somehow when we put all this together,

it becomes something cooler and better. Yeah. Well, this is our identity, man. I mean, this is, you know, a lot of people, you know, and it's not, it's again, it's not a dig at anybody. It's just a, it's just a perspective thing. You know, you have to be honest about what your goals are in this and where you want to be and what you're willing to sacrifice for it. And this is, you know, we're like family and I can genuinely say like, this is our identity. I mean, I don't feel right unless we're getting together and doing this kind of stuff. Right.

I don't feel like, right. Unless we're writing together or, you know, this is just what we do. And, um, you know, collectively, I, I think yeah um you know collectively i i think again i can speak for all of us this is just kind of like this is how i live you know this is what makes me you know carries me on throughout the day no i get that i i 100 understand exactly what you mean you know uh you can turn off these mics you can take away a camera and wherever I I'm at, you can bet somehow, some way I'm going to entertain somebody there because that's just how I'm, I'm going to run my mouth.

I can't not run my mouth. You know, I, it was all the way through school, same problem. You know what I mean? And I'm sure you guys were probably tapping on things, banging on things,

playing on things, drumming on things, doing something. Somebody say, God, stop, please. And you still did it, you know, somehow, some way.

Thanks, Ted. Right, right, right. We used to talk our gym coach into putting on your rants. Did you really? No. I swear, man, we had a cool trip. Now, where was this at? I went to school at Rosebud High School.

Okay. That's near Searcy, right? Yeah, it's actually right near Searcy. Yeah, I know where that is. Okay, that's cool. And he would do it. Oh, of course, man. He was so cool. He's our football coach, too.

But yeah, he was a cool cat, man. But, you know, anywhere else, they wouldn't let us listen to that. But yeah, he was always like. No, a lot of people wouldn't. Probably shouldn't. I mean. He loved your rants, man. That's awesome, man.

That's cool, man. You know, that span of ages that that's cool man that you know that span of of ages were and that was before you were actually blown up you were you were i think you were just calling in at that point it could be man you know i i did it uh well the next rant i do will be number 802 holy shit yeah that uh if you put that in in fridays that's probably more episodes than a lot of tv shows yeah yeah just like you said that's your identity man it is no it's your bread and butter it's funny because you know the other day somebody was talking to me and and said angry patrick said is it is okay if i said yeah of of course. Yeah, that's how it happened. Yeah, you call me angry AP, angry Patrick, angry P, P, I don't care.

You know, it doesn't matter. But I think that a lot of, and it's not the same, but kind of in a vein of it, the success that I've had mirrors what you're doing, because what you do represents every guy, every girl, you know what I mean? It's, it's something everybody can relate to. Everybody can feel everybody can connect to. And as, as boisterous and foolish as angry Patrick is, everybody ultimately agrees. Yeah, no, he's making sense. People are crazy, right? ultimately agrees yeah no he's making sense yeah people are crazy right everybody's got some angry patrick in them yeah and and so and and everybody you know has a music in them but you bring it out

yeah and that's the dope thing about it man that's the dope thing yeah you know you were talking about um led zeppelin earlier earlier yeah zeppelin's always been a big band for me but just because how creative they were you know they were. We could have the argument. Yes, how they did or didn't. You can't reinvent the wheel. No, no. It is what it is at this point. I think that is, you don't get a lot of bands like that anymore.

No. Because it's just, those guys used to sit behind a desk and wherever they were, fat guys with cigars, they didn't have a clue about music. That hurt yeah they didn't have a clue about music man they didn't have a clue and so they would they'd be sitting there smoking and they'd say that sounds weird let's try that out yeah fucking led zeppelin well there's no fat guys anymore man no no you're you're right you got all the right you got all these you know quote unquote you know for lack of better terms you got all these hippies and stuff people that don't know a lot they think they know what kids want to listen

to they think they know everything yeah then you just get all this cookie cutter music put out right and i just want to bring back the fat guy with cigars you know well i want to get some weird music out you know you're right in in a way because in the 70s particularly uh 60s and 70s i should say you know there was a a an instrumentation revolution that that occurred uh and and you've reached about the height yeah there's not much more you can do other well now you can have ai make it for you okay so and that don't even get me started on that soulless, but neither here nor there. You've run the gamut, you know, so it's hard to find new ground without going to old ground. Yeah.

You have to go back to the basics to make something sound new now. Yep. If that makes sense. Oh, it does, man. Because you look at Pink Floyd and, for example, what they were doing at that era with a moog and with you know some very crude instrumentation by our standards and they were making sounds that were insanely yeah amazing and imaginative yeah with some help obviously yes alan parsons oh i was oh an lsd yeah yeah well he probably was on it too um maybe he wasn't he was the engineer but

no probably but uh you know led zeppelin similarly i mean you got jimmy page out there playing with a bow yeah man you know doing stupid stuff you know he was also an lsd by the way yeah as was jimmy hendrix you know matter of fact maybe it's lsd yeah maybe more of that yeah that's what it is more lsd makes better music yeah it's got to yeah no more doesn't but some might some might i mean i'm you know you never can tell i did do some creative things in that realm in my lifetime i've had some strange trips man yeah yeah yeah let me ask this and now i'm being too deep here, and nobody has to involve themselves in answering anything, but since you've shown willingness here,

did you ever have such a thing as a bad trip? Yeah. Did you really? Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's like a, I wouldn't call it necessarily a bad trip, but I've definitely had some panic attacks, where I just was ready for it to be over. Okay, okay. But I wouldn't say for it to be over. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. And I wouldn't say like I'm seeing goblins or anything. I've never. No, I've just always asked people because I've always believed it's more state of mind unless you've just done an obscene amount that takes that away from you. And you're right. It was definitely a state of mind. I wasn't in the right headspace.

Same with shrooms mostly, you know. Now there are variations. Don't get me wrong. Some are more potent.

Good God Almighty's going down tonight Everybody's got heartache in their mind Got tattoos and a nose ring Nothing left to prove and no one to blame Everybody's got heartache in their mind

She got tattoos and too afraid to ask about She makes me feel like a dangerous man She tells her friends and we're just hanging out But I've been hanging with all her friends Here comes Jimmy with, what's her name? Must be into secondhand pain Everybody wants to be someone tonight He got sharp teeth and cheap cocaine An awful loose women and honky tonk flames Everybody wants to be someone tonight She got tattoos and too afraid to ask about She makes me feel like a dangerous man

She tells her friends and we're just hanging out But I've been hanging with all her friends This ain't me breaking down This ain't a cry for help This ain't a cry for help. This is me searching for the air after I've already drowned. She got tattoos I'm too afraid to ask about She makes me feel like a dangerous man Tells her friends and we're just hanging out But I've been hanging for a friend
