Outrun 03:10
Ain't praying to no one Yeah, I worship who I choose And I've got all my faith to lose We'll meet in the after life in time I'm in no hurry to die Ain't paying for nothing I've got no fixed dollar amount So watch me drain my bank account And the checks they always bounce With each new record announced In love with nobody Though several they have tried To make themselves my bride But there's something just not right In my head when I sleep at night Ain't going nowhere Yeah, my wheels they spin in place But the highway's sweet embrace It eludes me in my sleep Some dreams we can't afford to keep
2.
Telescope 04:30
It's never gonna happen if you schedule it Deserve to be happy but no one gives a shit "But I'm a survivor," that's what she said I asked, "which war?", and she said "it's in my head" You can make a necklace from piano wire Become another lost voice in that empty choir I know I'm gonna make it big someday Make the right connections, maybe some radio play But I'm a liar 'cuz it'll never be Ain't got a dollar, just a fucked up family You can't tour the world in a busted mini van Just write your songs for yourself, record them when you can Praying for change but you know it will never come Just keep stalling out while the engine hums It's all a sales pitch and you fell for it A case full of snake oil and an empty bed You can run for years and never take a step Make all the payments and remain in debt You can't find yourself through a telescope We're all just killing time until our book is wrote
3.
Weekends 04:23
I said "the wind won't fly my plane today" Just one more excuse to fuel my lie And I know that you got it oh so tough But would it kill you if you'd try? You can still love me on the weekends While I eulogize your favorite dive And I know I'm not the one who hides But it don't mean I hope you're not alright I'm always waiting for your blessing Though I am not sure why Nine months of inseparation Twenty-five to life Now I'm always second-guessing What I'm doing with my time But at least my clocks are moving At least I'm trying I bet you probably deleted my number So it won't hurt you when I call Just pretend I'm a telemarketer And it won't bother you at all Now I'm on the winning side of dying At least compared to where I've been And I just wanted to apologize Because I almost dragged you in
4.
Service engine light has been on so long Burned out tonight, now I've gotta get a new bulb I'm just looking for something to do And I'm singing my soul to sleep with the parking lot blues Got an attention span like the blink of an eye Gotta get to my woman before she says goodbye, goodbye I'm the rail car and she's just the track And if I don't lay down for her she ain't coming back You play the melody and I can keep time You be the singer and I'll drink the wine I'm just looking for someone to love me I sold all my possessions but I keep getting more Might as well live in an old junk store What am I gonna do with them when I gotta go? My heart is on pages and this life is my home
5.
Temporary 03:43
It's not something you hold in your hands It's not gonna unfold as part of your plans I was a ghost in your memory Protect your soul, you can't save me Sometimes you're the knife and sometimes the kidney How many times can you replace me? You watched it grow inside its cage You feel it flow within your veins I was a hole in your tapestry Just let me go, you can't fix me Sometimes you're the knife and sometimes the kidney How many times can you replace me? Sometimes you're the knife and sometimes the kidney Just convince yourself this pain is temporary Just convince yourself it's only temporary

about

Tucker Riggleman & The Cheap Dates Morgantown, West Virginia

“Musically, 'Shotgun' sounds like the result of Steve Earle hopping on stage with Big Star in a dimly lit dive bar with a healthy dose of early Old 97’s. Riggleman’s voice rings with a prophetic honesty over overdriven guitar chords. The song’s mid-tempo lilt sounds like the open road."
