lyrics

I love the summer in the Texas Hills
There ain't no way I can pay my bills
Though, no gas in the car means noplace to go
So put your red dress on and the radio
Here in the city, well, ain't that sweet
They got a ride I can borrow under every streetlamp
Back at the hills, we like to take it slow
Put on your favorite song while we're laying low
Singing
Ain't nothing better going on in town
I’d rather be alone than hang'n around
It’s a hot night in the valley below
When you put your red dress on and the radio
They kill the light bugs for lawns to mow
Here in the city, they wage control
But, back at the hills, we let the grass just grow
We need the camouflage when we're toe to toe
Sing'n
Ain't nothing better going on in town
I’d rather be alone than hang'n around
It takes a hot night to make a firefly glow
So, put your red dress on and the radio
We dance to Cash and we sway with Cohen
Singing Hallelujah everybody's knowing
That man in black ge might of saved his soul
If he saw that red dress girl
Heaven told me so
Ain't nothing better going on in town
I’d rather be alone than hang'n around
It takes a hot night to make a firefly glow
So, put your red dress on and the radio
We'll make a hot night in the valley below
So, put your red dress on and the radio

Easy On My Mind
by Kelley McRae

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

'Be It'
by Jesse Witney

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
