Danno Simpson - Dry County Blues

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Lying here wide awake shaking
For reasons I'm too proud to say
There are things I admit that I just could not quit
Send men like myself to the grave
I'm down and I'm out, Lord I'm hurting
For times like this one make me sick
There's a fried chicken spot and a church every block
Guess the latter might now do the trick
(?...) to find peace by the morning
And wake up a man whose been saved
But the problem you see, there's a dead (?...) in me
So tonight I'll just lay here and pray

{Chorus}
God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink
I'm writhing so hard with the spirit I can't hardly think
I'm tired of backslider's wine
I need something stronger tonight
So God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink

{Verse 2}
The irony doesn't escape me
Your lessons (?...) for one too
Time and again I let demons on in
And start asking favors from you
If you could just do me a solid
The line'll start towing again
For I come to you with these dry county blues
In Your name I pray too, amen

{Chorus}
God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink
I'm writhing so hard with the spirit I can't hardly think
I'm tired of backslider's wine
I need something stronger tonight
So God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink

Biography

edit bio

Danno Simpson was born in Dallas, TX, and raised on the high plains of Colorado. Drawing his influence from Texas songwriting legends (Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark & Willis Alan Ramsey) and the mountain music of the Rocky Mountains, Danno creates story-driven narratives that pay homage to the past while connecting with modern audiences.

Cutting his teeth in the dusty cowboy bars of Colorado and Wyoming; Danno’s start was anything but easy. From dive bars all across the United States, and theaters in the Rocky Mountains, to headlining his own show at Luckenbach, TX; Danno continues to perfect his craft and continues to put in the miles, remaining authentic and honest in his music. Doing things the “old-fashioned way” has garnered Danno a grassroots and passionate following.
