Another Chance

from Things That Used to Shine by Wild Ponies

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Written during a busy year on the road, Things That Used To Shine is an album about leaving some things behind…and meeting others head-on. It’s also the studio debut of Wild Ponies, a Nashville-based outfit fronted by Virginia natives Doug and Telisha Williams, who have previously toured and recorded as acoustic folk duo Doug & Telisha.

    Released by Ditch Dog Records, Things That Used To Shine finds Telisha opening up about the skeletons that have haunted her closet for years. Grammy-winning producer Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams) recorded the album’s 12 songs in three days, running the band’s harmonies through the same pre-amps once used by the Beatles. Casey Driessen, Russ Pahl, Jake Winebrenner and other heavy-hitting roots musicians also make appearances, beefing up the band’s songs with everything from organ to pedal steel.

lyrics

Seems unfair the way it went down

But she knew she shouldn’t have been hanging around

With that rich kid and his drugs



His daddy’s money kept him in the clear

But Mandy ended up doing a few years

Now she’s out on her own



She runs a little nail salon

In a building where everyone’s just trying to move on

Just trying to move on



Chorus

Hallelujah, thank the lord, for another chance

Hallelujah, thank the lord, for another chance



Janie lives up on the second floor

She works at the café right next door

She’s taking it day by day



Late at night when she’s all alone

And the cravings hit she picks up the phone



She’s been working hard to get her life on track

It’s been 46 days since she last smoked crack

But she still cries, she still cries



Chorus



There’s a quiet old man up on the third floor

Janie see’s a note posted on his door

That says the whole world’s fucked



It’s been two weeks since anybody’s heard from him

So finally the police just bust on in

To take a look







Well, it’s no surprise he’s still sittin’ right there

Empty pill bottles all around his chair

Looks like he’s finally gone home



Chorus X 2
