Revival Wasteland

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

Find a nice flat piece of land

Put the tent poles in the ground

Services start at 8

People come from miles around

They line up to get inside

And drop their money on the plate

They bring me their afflictions

And I step up to test my faith



Chorus

When I lay my hands on 'em

sometimes the blind can see

I’m not sure I believe in God

but I guess he believes in me



Wake up and count the money

Pile the trash out by the road

Pack up our revival wasteland

Then it's time to go

Down another lonesome highway

To another lonesome town

And I hope I can take it from them

When they lay their burdons down



Chorus



Every time I touch 'em

I wonder if they know

I'm nothing but a phony

just a traveling snake oil show

I never know if they're gonna walk

I never know if they're gonna cry

I never know if i'm gonna heal ‘em

‘till I reach out my hands and try



Chorus
