about

This song was written after I was in a car accident in 2019. I had broken my back and went through all of the physical and mental gymnastics that go along with such an incident. Ain't it a Shame outlines the complete cycle of healing from being broken. "Ain't it a shame when you figure out your best days are behind you now? But there not, don't let it slip away." A hard hitting, hooky alt-country anthem with halftime breakdowns.

lyrics

SPENT MY LIFE IN A WALKING HAZE
THE SAME ROUTINE ON A DIFFERENT DAY
TRIED MY HAND AT FAITH
BUT THERE'S NO PROOF
A LIE FOR A LIE AND A TRUTH FOR A TRUTH

AND AIN'T IT A SHAME WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT
YOUR BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND YOU NOW
AND AIN'T IT A SHAME WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT
YOUR BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND YOU NOW

BUT THEY'RE NOT, DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY

RAISIN' HELL OF A FRIDAY NIGHT
AND KISSING YOUR GIRL AT FIRST DAYLIGHT
AND PRAISE THE THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE
BUT CURSE THE WORLD THAT STAYS THE SAME

SPENT MY YOUTH AS A KNOW IT ALL
THE TALLER THE PRIDE THE FURTHER THE FALL
TRIED MY HAND AT SCHOOL
BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE
I WISH I COULD SAY
THAT WAS MY FIRST MISTAKE
