Life Ain't a Game 03:59
lyrics
buy track
She could’ve had the world but she lost it in a card game Baby you should know by now you can’t win with a losing hand Like it or not it’s all gonna end the same And winning alone it don’t make your man Since you’ve been gone and I’ve been here I ain’t missing you no more my dear Don’t know much, how hard, or why I tried Win or lose it’s all gonna end the same Baby you should know by now that life aint a game You might say that I’ve spent my life dodging bullets Metaphorically speaking I’ve seen more than my share Like it or not they all land right where they’re meant for After I pulled myself right out of thin air

Burning Photographs 04:19
lyrics
Caught in a bottle Starting a fire At the edge of the world Same old bottle Same old flame Just strung out on a different girl You know the wind is still blowing My heart and soul wide open The waters still rising And so many words are still left unspoken I’m burning photographs Trying to forget All those sad sad songs That you had in your head I wish there was something left To hold on to I’m burning photographs And they’re all of you You know my life is in a way That keeps me running around and around and around Around the world with a six-string hammer Trying to gain a little ground I’m blinded by the moment Yet it’s plain to see I’ll never get back I know somehow you’ll always keep yourself Fallen though the cracks I’m burning photographs Trying to forget All those sad sad songs That you put in my head I wish there was something left To hold on to I’m burning photographs And they’re all of you

Music City 04:20
lyrics
Once in Berlin Twice in Baltimore Three times in Houston and Four in Bangor Five in Annapolis And six in San Francisco Lucky number Seven in Ocean City Baby where did we go? Do you remember All the miles on the road All those songs that we’ve sung And stories we told… I guess I must’ve lost you Somewhere in New York City But maybe one day baby… I will meet you in Nashville Guitar in Hand Standing out on Broadway Singin in a band I will meet you in Nashville If the cards favor me Until then travel safe and sing pretty… I’ll see you in the Music City… We talked about Chicago, Philly and Boston Charlottesville And Austin Then I missed you out in Witchita And again in Columbus I know you love Denver But there aint nothing left for us But to meet again in Nashville Guitars in Hand We’ll be walking East down Gallatin Singin in a band I will meet you in Nashville If the stars align for me Until then travel safe and sing pretty… I’ll see you in the Music City… Bridge- Once all I heard Was your voice out on the wind Maybe one day I’ll hear that voice Singin’ to me again Last I heard you’re way out West And you know I’m home back East Finally letting you go at least… Until I meet you in Nashville Guitar in Hand Standing out on Broadway Playing at the Ryman I will meet you in Nashville If the stars align for me Until then travel safe and sing pretty… I’ll see you in the Music City…

More Little Words 06:11
lyrics
I am so tired of being so weary Once again you’ve left me alone But somehow so clearly Everything is all right I am run down from being so weak I’m a fool for lovin you But honey can’t you see? Everything is all right Words, Words, Little Words don’t mean a thing Only the biggest and heaviest of them for you and me Words, Words all these words don’t mean a thing Without you here to hear them coming from me. Yes I am blind. It’s been like this for years. I’m lost and I’m scared But just tell me to have no fear Because everything is all right Baby have no fear Everything is all right Words, Words, Little Words don’t mean a thing Only the biggest and heaviest of them for you and me Words, Words all these words don’t mean a thing Without you here to hear them coming from me. Baby where are you to hear these words coming from me Honey I just need you here to hear this from me.

Nowhere Song 03:30
lyrics
One day when I die I’m gonna go out like Hank Williams From a broken heart in the back seat of my car I will wonder how I got there And then I’ll remember you clearly And I will wonder where you are Because you ain’t nowhere No you aint Nowhere You aint nowhere that I find myself And now you aint got me Out there walking the tightrope Between who you were and who you really are I suppose I’ll remember you best On the beach out in the sunshine Smiling right there next to me And then I will remember All the reasons that I loved And I’ll try to forget all the reasons that I had to leave Because you ain’t nowhere No you aint Nowhere You aint No where that I find myself And now you aint got me Out there walking the line Like you did before in all the days of our time… One day when I die I’m gonna go out like Hank Williams From a broken heart in the back seat of my car

about

“Words Girls & Games - Vol 1”, features 5 original tracks and proves to be the first of two releases from the band. It is a collection of songs about promises (words), heartache (girls), and stratagems (games). On the surface, these songs are born from lament. Dig a little deeper and these tracks, with optimism, wit, and candor, can be applied to the soundtrack of many facets in life.

Recording began in January 2016. An epic winter storm interrupted the initial sessions and ultimately prolonged the completion process until nearly a year later. But as the pieces gradually came together, like whiskey in a barrel, these tracks had the chance to age a bit. They're warm, contemplative, and playful.

Eastern Electric is a band of layers... From the ground up, their sound is built on a deeply solid rhythm section, followed with the expansive and at times ethereal layers of pedal steel guitar and organ, solidified by smooth and smoky vocals.

“Words Girls & Games - Vol 1” features 5 original tracks heavy on twang and grit. Plug in your favorite device... and turn that sh*t up!
