about

As sparse and ethereal as the country that inspired it, 'Sugartown' tells the story of rural towns from an outsider's perspective.

lyrics

Let it drift on by
A life that was once worthwhile
See there’s nothing to do here now
They’d rather dig it up from the ground

Sugartown you were once good to me
Wrapped me in your arms so tight I couldn’t breathe

There’s no welcome back
Some kind of Faustian pact
Ask no questions no not the time
Don’t flaunt what you got outside

Sugartown you were once good to me
Wrapped me in your arms so tight I couldn’t breathe

See them looking over their shoulders
Same spots at the bar a little older
No I won’t get out of the car
I’m a blow in guilty as charged

Sugartown you were once good to me
Wrapped me in your arms so tight I couldn’t breathe

Sugartown you were once good to me
Wrapped me in your arms so tight I couldn’t breathe

I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t breathe
