Well I don’t wanna die for the con man
No I don’t wanna go and take Fallujah again
I’d rather be working for the city and that minimum wage
Instead of pacing back and forth like a dog in a cage
Well the older ones ignite it
While the younger ones fight it
Young men dying while they squawk
Chickenhawk
My generation been at war nearly twenty years
A never ending death rattle that nobody hears
Nothing but empty shells, yellow ribbons on the wall
Another empty expression down at the legion hall
Well the older ones ignite it
While the younger ones fight it
Young men dying while they squawk
Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk
Brother give me a sign brother give me your word
Give a voice to the voiceless, the ones that go unheard
Truth is they don’t give a shit, lord knows they never will
I’m just another number, he’s just another kill
Well the older ones ignite it
While the younger ones fight it
Young men dying while they squawk
Watch the older ones scatter
While the younger ones riot
Young men dying while they squawk
Catch the world on fire
We’ll be the first to ignite it
Old men dying while they squawk
Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.
Like most "tribute" type albums, this will probably be more greatly appreciated by fans of the musician playing the songs than by fans of the original artist, but I'll be honest: I was never particularly a massive fan of Guy Clarke (though I like his better known hits like those on Heartworn Highways and Together at the Bluebird Cafe). However, I do love almost everything Steve Earle does, including this, so it was kind of a "must buy" just for that reason. ivanerik

Heard this on WNCW today and listened on repeat all day. Had to buy the vinyl and show my support. This is gonna be my summer 2020 album and I’m perfectly fine with that. Great work and look forward to the streams later this month. Find the podcast from Southern Songs & Stories about the band and album. mrsoulmarkj
