lyrics

In my neck of the woods, the town where I live
It’s out in the sticks and conservative
Got lots of churches, we’ve got lots of bars
And the kids round here, they fight our wars

Out on the left, out on the right
They’re always arguing wrong and right
But in the meantime, life just goes on
We pay our bills, we mow our lawns

If your neighbor gets the zoysia grass, buddy you get zoysia too
And maybe if you hurt yourself he’ll mow your lawn for you

I was riding ‘round listening to the radio
Why they say those things, I just don’t know
Some states are red, some states are blue;
We like to simplify and believe it’s true

If your neighbor gets the zoysia grass, buddy you get zoysia too
And maybe if you hurt yourself he’ll mow your lawn for you

Out on the lawn we got campaign signs
We always know when it’s election time
The guy next door, his signs are not like mine
But he’s alright and we get along fine

If your neighbor gets the zoysia grass, buddy you get zoysia too
And maybe if you hurt yourself he’ll mow your lawn for you

about

The Bottle Rockets Saint Louis, Missouri

When The Bottle Rockets hit the scene in the mid '90s, the world wasn't quite sure what to do with them. With their punk- rock pedigrees and arena-rock energy, their tougher-than-Springsteen storytelling and their romantic hearts sewn bare on their denim sleeves, the pride of Festus, MO confounded musical generalities as they laid waste to clubs across the Midwest and then, soon enough, the nation. ... more

That's How Rumors Get Started
by Margo Price

supported by 5 fans who also own “Zoysia”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.

An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated. William Boyle
