lyrics

Lyrics to Joe Nolan's song "These Old Familiar Places" from the 2022 album Lost Verses:

These old familiar places
Still triggering the trauma
I miss all your faces
And I still wanna
Get myself checked in
And get on the straight and narrow
There's special providence
In the fall of a sparrow
There was a time when we were innocent
We had the music in our veins
And all that shit we'd use to poison it
Some of that bad blood still remains

I found me a good place to hide out
To keep me clean and dry
And if you're ready to find out
Well come on inside

It's sure a fine line
I heard old Neil say
Rock 'n roll can never die
So write it on my grave
And these are my pages and this is my pen
I haven't spilled the ink in ages
From these shaky hands
And if we never make our masterpiece
That's alright you know
And when you see me back on the streets
I hope you say hello

I found me a good place to hide out
It keeps me clean and dry
And if you're ready to find out
Then come on inside

Leaves round here are changing colours
It always comes with the fall
Still love you like no other
And I'm so sorry for it all
So I'm taking my time
With keeping in touch
I got a handful of rhymes
You know it's my crutch
And some folks still have questions
They may search their whole lives
Like when I lost the directions
To the answers in your eyes

I found me a good place to hide out
I'm keeping clean and dry
And if you're ready to find out
Well come on inside

I know love is scary
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
I go to the cemetery
Where I used to drink and write
They call it dirt city
I think I know the reason why
I visit the old cemetery
Where the sun still shines
I visit the cemetery
Where the sun still shines

Where the sun still shines
Where the sun still shines
Where the sun still shines
Where the sun still shines

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
