Small Town Blue
Music and Lyrics by Sean Ryder
(c) 2015, all rights reserved
He had a two seam heater and a cutter too
Take your best swing son he'll make a fool out of you.
He was the king of the hill with a flat bill crown
A party boy lover, the toast of the town.
He had a girl named Allie she was second to none
She wore his heart on a chain, her hair red like the sun
Now Sunday at the diner he's sitting alone.
She serves his fried eggs up with a face made of stone.
Chorus
There ain't nowhere he can hide inside of this....small town.
Where each glance reminds him how he let them down.
It plays in endless repeats in his mind.
Feeling Small Town Blue, hoping that he could find... some way.. to rewind.
His Mom was a nurse in the ICU.
She was there when he walked in tore up and bruised.
Best friend's on the gurney he ain't breathin' no more
Guess they took too many bottles from the liquor store.
Chorus
There ain't nowhere he can hide inside of this....small town.
Where each glance reminds him how he let them down.
It plays in endless repeats in his mind.
Feeling Small Town Blue, hoping that he could find... some way.. to rewind.
One Sunday at the diner man he didn't show up.
One egg less to fry and and an empty cup.
Two weeks went by before she sent the boys around.
Found him in his chair next to one spent round.
Chorus
There ain't nowhere he can hide inside of this....small town.
Where each glance reminds him how he let them down.
It plays in endless repeats in his mind.
Feeling Small Town Blue, hoping that he could find... some way.. to rewind.

Cry
Music and Lyrics by Sean Ryder
(c) 2015, all rights researved
I want to see, I want to feel,
I want to hear, I want to kneel
What’s real’s a dream,
What’s real’s the scream
Cry for a savior, Cry for a savior
I want to run, escape the sound
Flee myself, nowhere is found
What’s hoped is lost
That coin’s been tossed
Cry for a savior
I want a night, yes just one night
a candle flame, to know what’s right
What’s gone returned
That bridge unburned
Help me my savior.
