lyrics

Complaints Fall on Deaf Ears
Winter yields to springtime Summer's snuffed out by the fall
If it weren't for my bad luck I'd have no luck at all
But I can't complain The crops died from the frost But I can't complain All that marijuana lost Compounding blues with more bad news, this’ll surely drive up cost But I can't complain
Father never spared the rod Old man's touched in the head
I got my education Back behind the old woodshed
But I can't complain I must have struck a nerve So I can't complain Whupass is what he served Equal parts sin and White Lightnin' gave me what I deserved But I can't complain

The gully washer's taken my top soil Shoulder's been dislocated from my shotguns recoil
To cover debts, I upped my bets, straight shut out by the royal
I can't complain can't complain can't complain
Twisters relocate my home Last wife lit out with my brother
Been out of work these last five years Moved back in with my mother
But I can't complain Well, it's just another day So I can't complain Who's listening anyway Losing my hair and what's left there's rapidly turning gray But I can't complain I can't complain I can't complain

With Danielle on guitar and Robert on the upright (both sharing vocal duties), Jack Ball on violin, Richard Wells on dobro and Eric Frommhold on banjo.

We love each other so you don’t have to….
