  • Claiborne Avenue - Vinyl LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Whether you love the warm sound of vinyl or just enjoy a beautiful 12" piece of artwork, this is the primo incarnation of "Claiborne Avenue." My 1st vinyl LP ever, in 30+ years of making music. NOTE because vinyl sound degrades with more than 21 minutes per side, you get two fewer tracks with this version (but you also get digital download codes for the whole album). Track List: Side One 1. Grey Green Eyes 2. Guns and Sharp Swords 3. Claiborne Avenue 4. Kenosha Baby - Side Two 1. You Know Me Best 2. Moon Tide 3. Ship 4. Down at the Fly 10. Just To Be Total Time: 39 minutes 14 secs

    Includes unlimited streaming of Claiborne Avenue via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

DOWN AT THE FLY

Meet me down at the Fly
And we can sit and talk a while
You know the same old bench by the softball field
And we can think back one more time
To when I first beheld your smile
In thirty seconds then my fate was sealed

Meet me down at the Fly
We can watch the Mississippi flow
And maybe not a word needs to be said
Meet me for just half an hour
Cause at this point I’d like to know
If you’re even a thing outside my head

At the Fly where half the broken hearts in Louis Armstrong’s town
Sit staring toward the southern sunset glow
We’re drinking wine or smoking weed or stretched out on the ground
We’re lonesome but we’re free
Watch the muddy river flow
To the Gulf of Mexico
Out into the sea

Meet me down at the Fly
Where the lost and stoned can play the fool
And we’ll maybe figure out where this went wrong
Meet me down at the Fly
Where it is peaceful as a rule
And if we can’t agree we’ll write a song

Meet me in the afternoon
December stress could make you faint
And holding on so tight to all we’d planned
Meet me down at the Fly
By where you met the no name saint
He gave you words of truth he wrote by hand

At the Fly where half the broken hearts in Louis Armstrong’s town
Sit staring toward the southern sunset glow
We’re drinking wine or smoking weed or stretched out on the ground
We’re lonesome but we’re free
Watch the muddy river flow
To the Gulf of Mexico
Out into the sea
