Sundown At Francis Nash

Album: Fade Away Blue (2025)

  • In the radio tower looking down on the evergreen
    Somebody painted the horizon colors I had never seen
    The sun was burning ember touching down on the Olympic range
    And the boom box played Fire on the Mountain
    And the music sounded strange
    Ooh I was a real live wire
    An anxious kid trying to get higher
    Than I had ever been before
    Maybe I was looking for a way out
    Sundown at Francis Nash
    Leaning over the railing gripping onto the cold steel
    Eyes playing tricks on me the light was super real
    Darkness rising up from the east was time to climb down
    With every rung I was getting closer to the voices on the ground
    Ooh I was a real live wire
    An anxious kid trying to get higher
    Than I had ever been before
    Maybe I was looking for a way out
    Sundown at Francis Nash
    Always tried to feed the buzz
    My senses chased away because
    The pain was more than I could hide from
    I was in a house of mirrors
    Busted cracked with all the tears I couldn't cry
    I saw the ghost of the brigadier general standing over by the reservoir
    Houses of the Holy blasting out from Veterane's car
    Flashback to the Crystal Mountain crash still ringing in my ears
    I was lucky that I made it through those crazy reckless years
    Ooh I was a real live wire
    An anxious kid trying to get higher
    Than I had ever been before
    Maybe I was looking for a way out
    Sundown at Francis Nash
