Name: It Ain't Me
Duration: P00H03M57S
Description: This was a bucket list song for me...a Texas roadhouse barn burner, using a lot of tricks and things I'd been saving or collecting to make this happen, and it was a blast to put it to that great shuffle beat and crank up some leads. I've wanted to do a song like this since I was 16 and heard Phantom Rocker & Slick's "Men Without Shame". Long time comin.

lyrics

Left you back in Waco in a dirty hotel lot
you got me shuffling down the side of the road
I couldn't stand another day I knocked the drink out of your hand
I didn't pay you any money that I owed

On my knees in the pines, I wonder how I got this far
the cedar dust is falling off my clothes
But I ain't sorry that I left cause I got troubles of my own
I sit here wonderering how I'll rid myself of those

Baby please baby please
don't you try to run away all alone
I don't know what it is that your looking for out there
but it ain't him
it ain't her
it ain't you you're gonna find
and it ain't me

Pour the gas and burn the coal, four hundred miles to go
Till I make to the Arizona line
You know someday I'll make it back to the place I come from
and I regret that I was wasting all your time

All alone in the dark, I got the stars above my head
I got memories of you I can't out run
Took me in for a while you know it never felt like home
So I rode out of there and headed towards the sun

Baby please baby please
don't you try to run away all alone
I don't know what it is that your looking for out there
but it ain't him
it ain't her
it ain't you you're gonna find
and it ain't me
