about

lyrics

All ups and downs ups and downs
run from the thieves hide from the clowns
girls bright-eyed blue
this once was you
all ups and downs, ups and downs

all ups and downs ups and downs
hide from your dreams and run from your towns
girl bright-eyed blue this was for you
all ups and downs ups and downs

i get home in a worry
six feet under ground
watch me drink a whiskey bottle
I turn into a rodeo clown

all ups and downs ups and downs
run from the thieves and hide from the clowns
girl bright eyed blue this was for you
all ups and downs ups and downs

The songs on this new album are either smooth but tight or rock your world. Above and Beyond their already outstanding sound, "Take out the Poison" will enter your inner being with songs that penetrate your soul through lyrics and music that are uniquely their own. These songs are the most diverse yet similar from their other albums. Listen to their songs they are awesome. The Bye Bye Blackbirds continue to exude their special sound of infinite talent. They have done it again and I believe always will; as if there was ever any doubt about these gifted musicians. Rock on Gentlemen! "Take out the Poison" is a winner ! I am me
