about

I had a friend once, who always seemed so very sad, like something was impossibly wrong. Years later I found out how wrong it was and realized that, at a time when she needed just one good friend, I was solidly just okay.

lyrics

Everybody knows that growing up sucks
Noone ever said you had to hate it so much
You ran from yourself and you ran from me
You ran from your home and from your family
And the last time I saw you there was nothing to say
You moved one town over, and a lifetime away

A last look over your shoulder with them heroine eyes
The alley is a church, you kneel, try and get by
This whole town judged you like it done before
The homecoming queen was now a druggie whore
And even if you came to visit there’d be nothing to say
You moved one town over, one decision away

And I know I judged you,
and I had no place to,
When I didn’t help you.
And I don’t blame you.
Things you did, it made you.
And I don’t hate you.

Everybody knows that being wrong aint hard
It’s saying it aloud that aint the easy part.
I stand at this microphone confess I’ve wronged
Call me sometime if you hear this song
Cause there’s a lifetime between us now and nothing’s changed.
I still remember you given name.
You’ve got children in the next town, and I hear they play
I’m just one town over, and forgiveness away

One town over. One town over. One town over. One town over.

G.F. Patrick Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia-based guitarist and songwriter G.F. Patrick uses a Georgia-born post-country voice to examine the lives of everyday people and the way their unique pressure points have brought them to the given moment. While staying true to the folk and country idioms, he deftly repurposes song styles to attack outdated archetypes, putting music to the narratives of the overlooked and forgotten. ... more
