Whiskey Myers - Antioch (lyrics)
lyrics
"Antioch"
His eyes are bloodshot
He's loaded and locked
Thumbing through revelation down at Antioch
Can't call the law cause the sheriff is his kin
And there'll be hell to pay when he comes stumbling in, leave it alone
Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
He used to beat her real good I could hear the screams and yells
And that ain't something you can fix with JB Weld
I hate him so much even though I bear his name
I can't take him right now but one day that's gonna change
When I get grown
Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
Hide the bruises and hide the scars
Hide your tears hide who you are
Smile for the camera and pretend it's a happy home
I got in a little trouble on the day I turned 16
Got busted stealing cars at the Dairy Queen
They say I'm a product of my raising
Now I'm working for Uncle Sam
But how am I gonna be all I can be when I don't know who I am
And I'm alone
Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
I'm getting stronger I'm getting mean
I'm learning about killing I'm learning about me
I'm learning to survive out here in the sand
I'm thinking about mama I'm thinking about recompense
So I carry on
Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
Let the rain wash the blood away
Is the blood of the lamb really enough to save
Someone like me with everything that I've done wrong?
They got me in Coffield
I'm locked up tight
Guess I had a little blood lust from the Fallujah nights
I'm trapped in the wreckage standing in the flames
Wrapped up in something that was never gonna change
But then I came home
Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone
Then I came home
Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone
Now daddy's gone

Country lyrics to a rock beat. They've always been too rock for country and too country for rock. Hell, that's why I love them.

[@jasoncurry207]

when a band falls in between two sounds like they do I can always dig it

[@Nick-tu3xb]

Best song this year so far …

[@ToomersCorner]

Nope The Wolf is the best song this year

[@ToomersCorner]

The wrote a little money money about me… Then they come out with The Wolf… Like here’s another one. War Damn Eagle

[@lynnwilcoxson7]

Lived this song! Never stole no cars but, the 1st part. Dad & I never spoke for years.

[@ToomersCorner]

They wrote little more money about me. The whole song even Alabama where they bury me. All 3 verses. Then my day shift guy says he’s going fuck me. For doing what by bosses told me. It’s like they let the wolf out. I’m a machinist and programming and reading code. That could cause me to fuck up a million dollar part or worst kill me. Bam 💥 He let the Wolf out…

[@Shaggy7759]

Alright, I know music is open to interpretation, but do y'all think the end of the song means he came back home and killed his father, or is it implying that he grew up to be like his father and killed his wife?

[@atlanticmermaid2739]

His daddy

[@philipopruesse4259]

It’s clear. He killed his father.
