American Aquarium - Down Under

Copied!

{Verse 1}
It's Friday night and I'm sittin' here
Info-mercial and a lukewarm beer
Through the window the red taillights
Rage a war on the October sky

{Chorus}
And I know she's gone
Yeah I know she ain't lookin' back
Yes I know that she loves me
And I'd do anything, oh Lord, to keep her here

{Verse 2}
It's 3 A.M. and I grab my keys
I drive around while my sinner sleeps
Yellow lines perforate my mind
Seems like all I'm doin' is wastin' time

{Chorus}
Well I know she's gone
Yeah I know she ain't lookin' back
Yes I know that she loves me
And I'd do anything, oh Lord, to keep her here

{Verse 3}
Her bags are packed and her luggage checked
And I'm burnin' out like her cigarette
She says she'll call, she says she’'ll write
But all that means is I'm alone again tonight

{Chorus}
And I know she's gone
Yeah I know she ain't lookin' back
Yes I know that she loves me
And I'd do anything, oh Lord, to keep her here
I'll keep her here, keep her here
I'll keep her here, I'll keep her here
Keep her here, I'll keep her here

edit bio

American Aquarium is an American alt-country band that was formed in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2006. Drawing influence from bands like Whiskeytown and the Drive-By Truckers, the band was led by singer-songwriter B.J. Barham. The original lineup included pianist Zack Brown, bassist Bill Corbin, guitarist Ryan Johnson, drummer Kevin McClain, and pedal steel player Whit Wright.

Despite an active touring schedule, American Aquarium also spent time in the recording studio, releasing a pair of independent albums before partnering with Last Chance Records for their 2009 release, Dances for the Lonely. The album was produced by Chris Stamey and featured guest vocals from Caitlin Cary of Whiskeytown.

In 2010, American Aquarium released their fourth album, Small Town Hymns, which further solidified their reputation for gritty, Springsteen-esque anthems. The following year, they released their first concert album Live in Raleigh, as well as their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Burn.Flicker.Die, which was produced by Jason Isbell.

In 2015, the band worked with producer Brad Cook on their more alt-rock-inspired album, Wolves. They also released a concert album titled Live at Terminal West, capturing a show in Atlanta. B.J. Barham then released a solo album titled Rockingham in 2016, which was well-received by critics.

In 2017, Barham announced that the original lineup of American Aquarium had dissolved, and he would be recording with a new lineup. Despite the changes, American Aquarium continues to perform and release music, showcasing Barham's powerful songwriting and the band's dynamic sound.
