lyrics

I'm so sorry, man
But I'm a bastard in ways
I do what I can
But it's so hard to change

I crashed into her like a jet airplane will
She stumbled to me like a drunk on the reel
We burned down the forest; we burned down the fields
We ran like deserters with the law on our heels

I'm so sorry, man
But I'm a bastard in ways
I do what I can
But it's so hard to change

I derailed it all like a big ol' steam train
A beached whale in the desert, my simple like became
I've considered returning back home to the plains
Where I might find some odd work after changing my name

I'm so sorry, man
But I'm a bastard in ways
I do what I can
But it's so hard to change

I'm so sorry, man
If I caused you pain
But it ain't went as planned
What can I say?

Oh, down the coastline, down the coastline I weave
And gaze in the distance on far away seas
And my faith ain't all that it once used to be
And I'm filled with the deepest of doubts, I'll concede

about

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
