lyrics

Hey where are you going now with your face so full of fear?
I just want to say Hello, but you won't let me near
It sure gets lonely in this wilderness alone
When all I've got's my freedom and these pines to call my home

I didn't ask for this attention, you made a devil out of me
And I'm sorry if this confession kills my notoriety

There was a girl who lived in a cabin by a creek
I watched her in the day and through her window when she'd sleep
I finally got the nerve to make my presence known
I've never seen such terror as her green eyes showed

And then the stories started swirling as the battle lines were set
Well if a devil's what you want, by God, a devil is what you'll get

I didn't ask for this attention, I'm just a little misunderstood
And not believing all that you read could do some of you people good

They'll probably come for me and put me on the run
For all the sins and killing that they say I've done
But just remember when the bullet hits my spine
You made the myth of me, and myths don't ever die

Was it so wrong of me to want love like everybody else?
Sometimes the thought of dying ain't as bad as living with myself
Sometimes the thought of dying ain't as bad as living with myself

Loners Society Charleston, South Carolina

Loners Society is the brain-child of Unusual Suspects and County Line Strangers’ primary songwriter/singer, Matt Megrue. While both of Megrue’s previous projects primarily emphasized their collective punk/country upbringings, the new EP from Loners Society takes that same honesty and sprinkles in a little bit of soul in what Megrue describes as, “southern-fried, indie rock and roll." ... more
