lyrics

Did life make you bitter, make you cold, dear?
Did you vow to no longer ever care?
When did you get so sloppy and so bold, dear?
When did you decide to stop playing fair?

You seem to think that you're the only man alive
The game you play, you may now play alone
And win loneliness as your treasured prize
When you return to an empty home

So you don't seem to want me, honey
That's just fine
There's always somebody else waiting in line
You must think that you're god's gift
Or simply that I'm a fool
If you think that I would let you waste my time

This Time Last Night

A beautiful album. Sounds like it was made in the sixties. It's got rock 'n roll and romance and everything in between. I had a hard time picking my favorite track -Friend or Foe, Jump Down Baby, The Key, because there are so many great tracks on this album. Harrie Snels

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell

supported by 5 fans who also own “Did Life Make You Bitter?”

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message. oldmanj716
