lyrics

Tuesday

my old friend moved out to memphis
it’s the latest promised land
he said he saw the ghost of elvis
while i’m just sitting here in bed
if i was braver i’d go somewhere
i’d buy myself an old rv
my buddy bobby’s out in l.a.
with the stars and the palm trees
california’s always booming
but they’re counting down their years
it’s due to slide into the ocean
it’s probably safer to stay here

but i got black widows in the backyard and dishes in the sink
i got calls from debt collectors and too much time to think
my mind is like a cartoon this circus in my head
i think tuesday’s probably a wash, folks
i’m going back to bed

some nights i walk down to this beat bar
a local joint down by the train
i tell my secrets to bartenders
‘cause they’ll forget them right away
a couple whiskeys on the table
i’m gonna take a nice boy home
gonna roll him in the bedsheets
then kick him out and sleep alone
‘cause i’ve been sleeping like a baby
i’ve been feeling like hell
i’ve been drinking like a sailor
things are going pretty well

but i got black widows in the backyard and dishes in the sink
i got calls from debt collectors and too much time to think
my mind is like a cartoon this circus in my head
i think tuesday’s probably a wash, folks
i’m going back to bed

i used to have a friend named bobby
he was a singer in a band
looks like bobby hit the big time
so i’m calling him again
maybe he needs a backup singer
maybe he needs a helping hand
i need something to wake up for
maybe we all just need a friend
so won’t you take us all out, bobby
take me dancing tuesday night
heaven knows you’ve got the money
at least call me back sometime

‘cause i got black widows in the backyard and dishes in the sink
i got calls from debt collectors and too much time to think
my mind is like a cartoon this circus in my head
i think tuesday’s probably a wash, folks
i’m going back to bed
i’ll wake up in a better mood
or i’ll wake up in a fight
or i’ll wake up in the same place
except on tuesday night

about

Karen Jonas Fredericksburg, Virginia

The Restless (3.3) is “a stunning collection of dreamy and dark alt-country confessionals; a deep exploration of love and vulnerability from one of Americana’s most hopeless romantics” (Holler.Country). As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.” ... more

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 14 fans who also own “Tuesday”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer

Years
by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

supported by 14 fans who also own “Tuesday”

There's only one track on this whole album I don't adore. The other nine would be my favorite track on almost any other album they stumbled into. "Years" is like the perfect Best Of album for a band that's been steadily putting out records for decades. 'Caroline Reese and the Drifting Fifth' level stuff here. burrito741
