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 field
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' stream train
A beached whale in the desert, my simple life 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 things ain't went as planned; oh, what can I say?

Hey, down the coast line; down the coast line I weave
And I gaze in the distance on faraway seas
And my faith; it ain't all that it once used to be
And I'm filled with the deepest of doubts, I'd conceded

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
