BIOGRAPHY
By Steve Leggett
A classic-sounding Southern rock band out on Knoxville, Tennessee, the Dirty Guv'nahs (frontman James Trimble, Hammond organist Chris Doody, pianist Michael Jenkins, guitarists Michael Jenkins and Cozmo Holloway, and brothers Justin and Aaron Hoskins on bass and drums, respectively) create an energized musical blend that recalls the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers Band, with a dose of Americana and the Band tossed in for seasoning. The band formed when the members were attending university in Knoxville, and what was initially supposed to be just a couple of occasional gigs really took off, and the band quickly developed a loyal local following. the Dirty Guv'nahs' energetic and inspired live shows earned them opening spots for acts like the Zac Brown Band, Wilco, and the Levon Helm Band, among others, and a performance slot at Bonnaroo -- a show that led to a recording session in 2009 at Levon Helm Studios. Two independent releases followed, 2009's The Dirty Guv'nahs and 2010's Youth Is in Our Blood. The band continued to evolve its sound on its third album, Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies, which was produced by Ross Copperman, engineered by Richie Biggs, and released in 2012 through a distribution deal with Dualtone Music.

LYRICS
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Can you feel it?
I think we said too much too soon
And now you got me reeling
Spinning circles round this room
Did you notice me
cause I’ve been standing out here waiting baby
for a long long time
I can tell that we gotta bigger plans so
don’t you dare go change your mind
not yet
I see you standing there
heart in your hands
everything you fear
I’ll be there
I know just where i belong
for you I’ll be strong
but please don’t make me wait on this
for too much longer
I see you’ve got a new friend
well he can’t love you like i do
I said I’m through with choosing… me
just wanna spend my life with you
I’ve been seeing things all wrong these days
these days
I know you, and you know me
Together we can make it
make it on time
you, you always told me to never give up
to never give up
to never give up
I see you standing there
heart in your hands
everything you fear
I’ll be there
I know just where i belong
for you I’ll be strong
but please don’t make me wait on this
for too much longer
DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
(Jenkins/Trimble)
First class, never had a ticket made
Whole life, living in the aisle way
Back row, the window if felt so cold
Last night, singing on the interstate
Released, feeling I could breathe again
Today, heaven it don’t feel close
All I really want is someone to tell me I’m wanted
Can you hear me? I’m longing to know tonight
Gimme an answer
I need a fighter
I’m a long way off, hanging on a little string
Hoping you notice
Loaded with questions
Old enough to know, young enough to still believe
Don’t give up on me
The story that i’m living in
It’s a story in my mind
Thought life it would be different
I thought i’d have more time
And control…
It’s hard to decide
When your soul…
Is caught inside your mind
All I really want is someone to tell me I’m wanted
Can you hear me? I’m longing to know tonight
So give me an answer
I need a fighter
I’m a long way off, hanging on a little string
Hoping you notice
Loaded with questions
Old enough to know, young enough to still believe
Don’t give up on me
You know I will, I’ll come running
You know I will, I’ll come running
You know I will, I’ll come running
Yeah, you know I will
Don’t give up on me
GOOD LUCK CHARM
(Jenkins/Trimble)
I drove here to tell you I’m sorry
I ain’t been sleeping
and there’s no good way to tell ya
but I’m leaving ya here tonight
I swear tonight with God as my witness
You were important to me
But sometimes love, it ain’t easy
I always confuse what I want and I need
yes indeed
You’re the sweetest, little secret
Yes, I’m mean to the bone
You’re my good luck charm
And baby I can’t leave you alone
Would you please, please forgive me?
For draggin you over stones?
You’re my good luck charm
And baby I can’t leave you alone
So I hide away and sleep for the weekend
And do some drinkin
Feeling lonely and silent
As I try to renew my mind
But then late at night alone in the darkness
I get the notion
for maybe one more rehearsal with circles
that we’ve been spinning and now we’re caught up again
oh, my friend
You’re the sweetest, little secret
Yes, I’m mean to the bone
You’re my good luck charm
And baby I can’t leave you alone
Would you please, please forgive me?
For draggin you over stones?
You’re my good luck charm
And baby I can’t leave you alone
You’re my good luck charm
and baby i can’t leave you alone
Oh, my little secret
and I can’t leave you alone
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
TEMPTATION
(Jenkins/Trimble)
I’m thankful that we’ve made it
I should be satisfied
But we need to be the way we were
At the start, we were bold
Our legs were strong
But weakness came and changed, changed our mind
Somewhere beneath all the running
Deeper we rolled in the lie
She tried to bribe me with money
But I won’t take her side
Temptation, I don’t need you
So, I’m up here watching over
Over everything I’ve done
And I swear, I can’t believe what I see
How on earth do I fall for every bribe, every time
Greed, she won’t stay silent
She’s gonna sing like a love song
She’s gonna sound like a prize
She’s gonna promise tomorrow
But I’m not trading mine
Temptation, I don’t need you
Oh, oh she wants to live inside your mind
Oh, oh she’ll try to stay
Oh, oh dig in deep you got to fight her
Hold on to me
Temptation, I don’t need you
HONEY YOU
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Target on your back
You best be payin’ ‘ttention
There’s a war going on
Rolling up my short sleeves
and dirty britches
Keepin my eyes on ya
My eyes on
The way you move
You oughta know
ewww – do me a favor
Honey you, you and me, we’re gonna have a good time
the good and the bad
you’re the best thing I ever had
yeah you make me surrender
Honey you
Surprising me at night in a cocktail
lookin like a maggie monroe
on my knees, itchin like a beggar
I can’t relax would ya leave me alone
Pinchin pennies, for my lunch
i’m outta gas and i’m hungry for love
Honey you, you and me, we’re gonna have a good time
the good and the bad
you’re the best thing I ever had
yeah you make me surrender
Honey you
LIVE FOREVER
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Like you told me
in that story
by the moonlight
all the glory
when you wrapped me
in those mighty arms of fate
There’s a cold rain
on my forehead
There’s a warning
in these 4 chords
Sometimes you can’t run away from what you’re meant for
I don’t wanna be waiting underneath
Every birthday
I get older
I still fumble
all my words
hoping one day
I’m gonna be finding just what I’m worth
Cause there’s a yearning
deep inside me
it’s been burning
long before
tonight I can’t make it wait
anymore
I don’t wanna be waiting underneath
I wanna live forever
3000 MILES
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Silence on the radio tonight
Feels just like the first time
Out here on my own
Away from all the cars and all the fistfights
Feels just like the first time
I’m on my own
If ya called, cause ya missed me
Then just say it, that’s you’re head’s exploding out
and you need a place to hide
I wanna believe it
I need to believe it
I wanna be where you are
And be there to see it all
I wanna be closer
I’m needin to hold ya
But there’s 3,000 miles between us
You’re waiting at home
If I’m honest I’m still not sure
Don’t know much anymore
Its harder and harder to keep it straight
Straight in my mind
And I apologize
Each and every one of the last three times
Its not ok to lie
If you go, will you miss me
Then just say it, will you ever believe in love?
Let me be your place to hide
I wanna believe it
I need to believe it
I wanna be where you are
And be there to see it all
I wanna be closer
I’m needin to hold ya
But there’s 3,000 miles between us
You’re waiting at home
Home
I wanna believe it
I need to believe it
But there’s 3,000 miles between us
You’re waiting at home
THIS IS MY HEART
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Come on, come out wherever your hiding
Lay your armor down
You can sing the song of your choosing
But please don’t push me around
You know love it ain’t the answer
If you guard it close
and You don’t learn to hear the music
Please don’t refuse it
This is my heart
This is my heart
Sometimes we got caught in the fighting
We forget just who we are
Yeah we bleed for affirmation
Just to feel the want
If we learn to lean on one another
With our lies exposed
Let our honesty be clearer than any mirror
This is my heart
This is my heart
This is my heart
Please don’t refuse it
We can tear these walls right down
Come on, yeah, do you feel it?
Tonight, tonight we can turn this thing around
FAIRLANE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Going on vacation, got no destination
But you’re next to me
Pretending it was summer, wrapped up in a blanket
It was 40 degrees
We got holes and the floor’s coming loose
Got no money, but honey our love is the truth
You and me, gonna be the festival prize
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout the answers
To the worries on your mind
Come put your head upon my shoulder
And hang around til we get older
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna love you for a while
Dressin up to meet ya
The sunday morning preacher
With nothing to lose
Living on suspicion, got no ammunition
But we’re fighting for truth
I might be the wandering kind
Full of emotion and hungry for violence,
I’m a backseat of dreams
And you’re my bottle of wine
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout your problems
They’ll be plenty more to find
I know it won’t always be laughin
Oh, and honey it’s taken a while to decide
Would you love me in the Fairlane?
Would you be for me, my bride?
One day you’ll see it and i’m hoping it’s soon
One day you’ll see me the way I see you….
Sometimes, I feel like the sun… chasin the moon
I feel the pulse between our fingers, late in the night
Beneath the cedars, and we’re synchronized
My heart is beating, to the tune of your lingering eyes
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout your problems
They’ll be plenty more to find
LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
(A. Hoskins/Trimble)
Lead me on
Out into the dark
I’ll try to hold the spark
Amid the circling gloom
Keep my feet
I do not ask to see
The far or distant scenes
One step enough for me
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you ready?)
My arms are open
but my heart is scared to move
Hard times are coming
only honesty will do
My love
Life
Mine but only slight
A gift to be invited
Into the world at bloom
This my path
Mine, but not by choice
Born with just one voice
One thing set to do, sing it
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you ready?)
My arms are open
but my heart is scared to move
Hard times are coming
only honesty will do
I wanna know where i belong
I wanna feel powerful
I wanna know if I belong
to you
Lead, Kindly Light
Do not fear
I’m homesick for a place… I’ve never known
DEAR ALICE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
I remember the words that you said when we left for Alaska
Let’s pack our bags in the truck with our love and go drive for a while
I can’t understand all the mysteries in this old Bible
But the closer we get, well, the harder we hurt when we fall
I can’t win them all
But I still want you
and I’m hoping deep down that you want me too
Are we worth it?
Are we worth what I put you through?
I can’t earn it
I can’t earn it, you’ve got to choose
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I burn for you
My brother he called and said I should get back home
Out in East Tennessee where it’s prettiest there in the fall
They say that true love tells the truth even if it’s a burden
Well, I guess I’m still learning
Cause most of the time I just talk
and fill up these walls with half-hearted tunes
I’m a good man with bones that bruise
I’m not perfect
But I’m learning to tell the truth
Show me some mercy
Cause I’m hurtin, for hurtin you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
All that I wanted was never enough
All that I needed was more of your love
Please come home to me
Please come home to me
Please come home to me
CHILD
(Doody)
Gather round in the living room
Been awhile since you told her “I’ll see you soon”
Mark the ground and we’ll cover your body today
Papa’s words were they all a lie?
I heard the truth from a blackbird in the sky
It’s never easy when you bury a man to be free
It’s a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She’s a child, running wild and free
Faded letters laying on a shelf
Memories that were only for herself
Light a match now, leave em and light em on fire
What’s a child ever gonna say
Bout a man gone twenty years to the day
Let the light come and carry you back to your home
It’s a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She’s a child, running wild and free
Tell me where’s your pride
And did you ever think to miss
The ones you cast aside?
GOODNIGHT CHICAGO
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Goodnight Chicago
hope to see you soon
this whole revival
we came here just for you
don’t trade your skies
for the seas
you got the wind
but got to learn to breathe
what’s right in front of you
Wake up, Virginia
I love to watch you move
new york is just a day away
Tennessee is too
don’t leave your dreams
up in the sky
oh, you got an astronaut’s mind
honey I do too
One day we’ll all take center stage
Raise glass, join hands, and give thanks
But until then just be where you are
Sing a song for me
And we won’t give up on you
ONE DANCE LEFT
(J. Hoskins/Jenkins/Trimble)
I was gonna run my fingers through your hair
but I sold myself short again
I was making plans to grow it old with you
but I never really showed i cared
I’m alright, at least that’s what I’m selling
I still like the late nights after dark
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a second start
I was gonna save these feelings all for you
but I sold myself short again
the lines are blurry, but as is just won’t do
when you’re wantin to be more than just friends
I’m alright, at least that’s what I’m selling
I still like the late nights after dark
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a second start
and you know, you know desperate it ain’t pretty
when you feel just like you’re dying deep inside
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a place to hide… a place to hide

well he can’t love you like i do
I said I’m through with choosing… me

I’ve been seeing things all wrong these days

I know you, and you know me
Together we can make it

DON’T GIVE UP ON ME

Hoping you notice
Loaded with questions
Old enough to know, young enough to still believe
Don’t give up on me
You know I will, I’ll come running
You know I will, I’ll come running
You know I will, I’ll come running
Yeah, you know I will
Don’t give up on me

Temptation, I don’t need you
So, I’m up here watching over
Over everything I’ve done
And I swear, I can’t believe what I see
How on earth do I fall for every bribe, every time
Greed, she won’t stay silent
She’s gonna sing like a love song
She’s gonna sound like a prize
She’s gonna promise tomorrow
But I’m not trading mine
Temptation, I don’t need you
Oh, oh she wants to live inside your mind
Oh, oh she’ll try to stay
Oh, oh dig in deep you got to fight her
Hold on to me
Temptation, I don’t need you
HONEY YOU

Target on your back

Surprising me at night in a cocktail

Honey you, you and me, we’re gonna have a good time

You’re waiting at home
If I’m honest I’m still not sure
Don’t know much anymore
Its harder and harder to keep it straight
Straight in my mind
And I apologize
Each and every one of the last three times
Its not ok to lie
If you go, will you miss me
Then just say it, will you ever believe in love?
Let me be your place to hide
I wanna believe it
I need to believe it
I wanna be where you are
And be there to see it all
I wanna be closer

But there’s 3,000 miles between us
You’re waiting at home
Home
I wanna believe it
I need to believe it
But there’s 3,000 miles between us
You’re waiting at home
THIS IS MY HEART

Come on, come out wherever your hiding
Lay your armor down
You can sing the song of your choosing
But please don’t push me around
You know love it ain’t the answer
If you guard it close
and You don’t learn to hear the music
Please don’t refuse it
This is my heart
This is my heart
Sometimes we got caught in the fighting
We forget just who we are
Yeah we bleed for affirmation
Just to feel the want
If we learn to lean on one another
With our lies exposed
Let our honesty be clearer than any mirror
This is my heart
This is my heart
This is my heart
Please don’t refuse it
We can tear these walls right down
Come on, yeah, do you feel it?
Tonight, tonight we can turn this thing around
FAIRLANE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Going on vacation, got no destination
But you’re next to me
Pretending it was summer, wrapped up in a blanket
It was 40 degrees
We got holes and the floor’s coming loose
Got no money, but honey our love is the truth
You and me, gonna be the festival prize
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout the answers
To the worries on your mind
Come put your head upon my shoulder
And hang around til we get older
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna love you for a while
Dressin up to meet ya
The sunday morning preacher
With nothing to lose
Living on suspicion, got no ammunition
But we’re fighting for truth
I might be the wandering kind
Full of emotion and hungry for violence,
I’m a backseat of dreams
And you’re my bottle of wine
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout your problems
They’ll be plenty more to find
I know it won’t always be laughin
Oh, and honey it’s taken a while to decide
Would you love me in the Fairlane?
Would you be for me, my bride?
One day you’ll see it and i’m hoping it’s soon
One day you’ll see me the way I see you….
Sometimes, I feel like the sun… chasin the moon
I feel the pulse between our fingers, late in the night
Beneath the cedars, and we’re synchronized
My heart is beating, to the tune of your lingering eyes
I’m gonna love you in the Fairlane
I’m gonna try to keep you smiling
Don’t you worry bout your problems
They’ll be plenty more to find
LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
(A. Hoskins/Trimble)
Lead me on
Out into the dark
I’ll try to hold the spark
Amid the circling gloom
Keep my feet
I do not ask to see
The far or distant scenes
One step enough for me
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you ready?)
My arms are open
but my heart is scared to move
Hard times are coming
only honesty will do
My love
Life
Mine but only slight
A gift to be invited
Into the world at bloom
This my path
Mine, but not by choice
Born with just one voice
One thing set to do, sing it
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you ready?)
My arms are open
but my heart is scared to move
Hard times are coming
only honesty will do
I wanna know where i belong
I wanna feel powerful
I wanna know if I belong
to you
Lead, Kindly Light
Do not fear
I’m homesick for a place… I’ve never known
DEAR ALICE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
I remember the words that you said when we left for Alaska
Let’s pack our bags in the truck with our love and go drive for a while
I can’t understand all the mysteries in this old Bible
But the closer we get, well, the harder we hurt when we fall
I can’t win them all
But I still want you
and I’m hoping deep down that you want me too
Are we worth it?
Are we worth what I put you through?
I can’t earn it
I can’t earn it, you’ve got to choose
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I burn for you
My brother he called and said I should get back home
Out in East Tennessee where it’s prettiest there in the fall
They say that true love tells the truth even if it’s a burden
Well, I guess I’m still learning
Cause most of the time I just talk
and fill up these walls with half-hearted tunes
I’m a good man with bones that bruise
I’m not perfect
But I’m learning to tell the truth
Show me some mercy
Cause I’m hurtin, for hurtin you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
All that I wanted was never enough
All that I needed was more of your love
Please come home to me
Please come home to me
Please come home to me
CHILD
(Doody)
Gather round in the living room
Been awhile since you told her “I’ll see you soon”
Mark the ground and we’ll cover your body today
Papa’s words were they all a lie?
I heard the truth from a blackbird in the sky
It’s never easy when you bury a man to be free
It’s a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She’s a child, running wild and free
Faded letters laying on a shelf
Memories that were only for herself
Light a match now, leave em and light em on fire
What’s a child ever gonna say
Bout a man gone twenty years to the day
Let the light come and carry you back to your home
It’s a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She’s a child, running wild and free
Tell me where’s your pride
And did you ever think to miss
The ones you cast aside?
GOODNIGHT CHICAGO
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Goodnight Chicago
hope to see you soon
this whole revival
we came here just for you
don’t trade your skies
for the seas
you got the wind
but got to learn to breathe
what’s right in front of you
Wake up, Virginia
I love to watch you move
new york is just a day away
Tennessee is too
don’t leave your dreams
up in the sky
oh, you got an astronaut’s mind
honey I do too
One day we’ll all take center stage
Raise glass, join hands, and give thanks
But until then just be where you are
Sing a song for me
And we won’t give up on you
ONE DANCE LEFT
(J. Hoskins/Jenkins/Trimble)
I was gonna run my fingers through your hair
but I sold myself short again
I was making plans to grow it old with you
but I never really showed i cared
I’m alright, at least that’s what I’m selling
I still like the late nights after dark
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a second start
I was gonna save these feelings all for you
but I sold myself short again
the lines are blurry, but as is just won’t do
when you’re wantin to be more than just friends
I’m alright, at least that’s what I’m selling
I still like the late nights after dark
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a second start
and you know, you know desperate it ain’t pretty
when you feel just like you’re dying deep inside
there’s one dance left and I’m willing
two hands that need a place to hide… a place to hide
BIOGRAPHY
by Steve Leggett
A classic-sounding Southern rock band out on Knoxville, Tennessee, the Dirty Guv'nahs (frontman James Trimble, Hammond organist Chris Doody, pianist Michael Jenkins, guitarists Michael Jenkins and Cozmo Holloway, and brothers Justin and Aaron Hoskins on bass and drums, respectively) create an energized musical blend that recalls the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers Band, with a dose of Americana and the Band tossed in for seasoning. The band formed when the members were attending university in Knoxville, and what was initially supposed to be just a couple of occasional gigs really took off, and the band quickly developed a loyal local following. the Dirty Guv'nahs' energetic and inspired live shows earned them opening spots for acts like the Zac Brown Band, Wilco, and the Levon Helm Band, among others, and a performance slot at Bonnaroo -- a show that led to a recording session in 2009 at Levon Helm Studios. Two independent releases followed, 2009's The Dirty Guv'nahs and 2010's Youth Is in Our Blood. The band continued to evolve its sound on its third album, Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies, which was produced by Ross Copperman, engineered by Richie Biggs, and released in 2012 through a distribution deal with Dualtone Music.

LYRICS
BABY WE WERE YOUNG
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Young love, won’t you come and sit real close to me?
For the first time, I’ve got you by my side
Darling, don’t you know that you’ve got the shaky knees?
Gotta roll the windows down inside your mind
Love was the shape we made
Love was the breath we drew
Youth was in our blood
and baby we were young
Nineteen and twenty-three, with just four years between
We fell in love on a tuesday in july
You’re daddy lives so far away, down in memphis, tennessee
One day, you’re be my bride
That’s right
Love was the name we gave
But love is a shaky thing
You’re not the one to blame
Cause baby we were young
WIDE AWAKE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
I’m leaving today
Coming to find you
Not taking anything
Or wasting time
I’m dizzy
I’m dizzy and I’m spinning
You’re all I want to know
You’re all I want to know
Maybe
Everything
Is happening
In front of our eyes
Standing
Standing right beside you
Right beside you
You know me
You know me well
And where I’ve been
You know me well
So be patient
Cause baby there’s still time
and I’m wide awake inside
I”m wide awake inside
I’m wide awake
and you’re beside
and everything
in front my eyes
WALK WITH ME
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Come inside and love me the man I am before I walk away
Take a chance, the world it’s so beautiful
All I need is space
But if you can’t see then stand in my doorway
And let me tell you everything
Lizzy baby I’m wearing it on my sleeve
And I’m a blank page
Walk with me
Show me your secret
Wake up please
Sing it out
The good and the bad
Well, they all get together
Got to open your eyes
And stay awhile
Yellow beam it hangs in her hair
But her eyes well they keep me awake
Sunshine is on the backseat
And we’re losing our way again
If I laid down
Would you let the engine die?
Do you love me or the car ride?
Lizzy baby, I know it ain’t easy see
But I ain’t lookin for a good time
Oh I think you know it,
Yeah I think you got a secret
Bout to make your big mistake
Honey please, believing isn’t everything
You got to walk the way
And if you can’t see
Then stand in my doorway
Oh I think you know the way you play
Lizzy baby, the timing is everything
You got to stay awake
WE’LL BE THE LIGHT
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Summer’s gone but it won’t take long to look back
My girl had a big sky to consume, yes she did
And I cried, like a brother had been raised up from the pain again
I found myself a way to fall for you
Put your hand in my pocket
I’ll be your favorite song
We’ll be the light and the diamond as well
Need my name in the springtime, yes you will
We’re learning to take our time with the ones we love
But time will tell if it makes a change
Arrived, but turning back to brave it all just for your hand
I’ll do my best, right to be where you want to be, you want to be
SONG FOR MY BELOVED
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Come out to the place where it is quiet
And lay your body down beside my love
Surrender to my warm embrace and know that
You’re the one that I’ve been thinking of
Amy, I can’t keep you happy
And I can’t make you disappear
But I promise not to leave you anywhere alone
Let my love replace your fear
You doubt the truth I told you in the silence
Don’t you know that you’re the one I chose
And every night that we let pass behind us
Is wasted if we hide behind our clothes
NEW SALVATION
(Jenkins/Trimble)
All I was lookin for was a goodnight kiss
Instead I walked away with a bigger wish
You’re everything I want, so baby look at me
Use your imagination, I’ll give you anything
Come on, come on
Salvation
You need
What I’m making
Down on my knees
I’ve been waiting around
Oh, No
Beggin you please
Be patient
Believe
What I’m Saying
Baby we’ll get better in time
Oh, No
Don’t know what you’re lookin for, so it will never come
And you’re standing there waiting like sand in the sun
Out there lookin’ for a melody with fortune telling eyes
I’ll be your fascination, baby be mine
IT’S DANGEROUS
(Jenkins/Trimble)
You found me, by the marquee
I was foolin around
On a bar stool, well you told me
Promised me that we’d work out
You had your hands on my silver clasp locket
Young love, on parade
You know exactly when you flaunt it
Oh, yeah you’ll settle for anything
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Using me so you can be amused?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Oh, we just wanted love to make us happier
I’m feelin, hesitation
Seems like we’ve run out of road
It’s a long time til the state line
City limits were long ago
You had your hands on my silver clasp locket
A picture frame of love we’d made
We’re not the same as when we started
Oh, yeah we’ll settle for anything
It’s dangerous, the first time
You’ll fall for anybody, to say you’re in love
COURAGE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
What you want is never enough
What you got will leave you in want
Where you stand, you’re waiting in a line
So put your hand in mine
Courage moves within me
Makes me shake
Looking for an ending
Without the way
A weary flash, a picture out of tune
Stand right next to me in the same room
You try to ignore, and try to just pretend
Take your hands and step away
THE COUNTRY
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Met her halfway to Birmingham
Leaving middle Tennessee
Made a speech to say inside my head
Swore that I’d say everything
“I’ve been giving you my life, and I’m always on time
Four years are enough to decide, whether I’m you’re kind.”
“And I’ve been thinkin’ bout the country
Thinking bout you and me.
I’ve been thinking where I do belong
And why, you belong with me.”
In frustration she had bowed her head
And I could hardly breathe
Reminisced on the times we had
But said that she would have to leave
“It’s hard, hard to walk away from you
But we don’t live at the same speed.
You’re gonna make somebody happy.
But that someone, ain’t me.”
“Cause when you’re thinking bout the country
You’re just trying to be with me
Seasons change the way that we are
and spring changed me.”
Met her halfway to Birmingham
Leaving middle Tennessee
Made a speech to say inside my head
Swore that I’d say anything, to keep you here.
BLUE ROSE STROLL
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Down at the Blue Rose Stroll, well they like to shake a thing
Looks like a bunch of monkeys on a tight rope string
And you know, that Madeline will do you right
From Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Theta, Tennessee
Oh, the juke is always jumpin when the people start the dee
So grab your neighbor and get on in line
Tell your mama, and tell your daddy
that you’re never coming home
You’re gonna lay the licks and get your fix down on the floor
If you got a dollar lay it down
And tell your baby, “Spin me around!”
You gotta move your feet if you wanna make it out alive
You know the rich folks, they can’t dance like us
They holler so much, but they can’t ride the bus
And you know, my baby’s riding for free
Well they keep on keepin’ but don’t know what’s going on
Down here in the holler, where the whiskey people roam
That’s where I wanna be
AIN’T IT STRANGE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
Cast your fears
and your tired eyes
All aside and let’s work awhile
They’ll be no handouts or conspiracies
This is the world that we wanna see
Times they’re not changing
They never do
Good and bad, well it goes around
Tell me baby, you want the truth?
We want the truth and we want it loud
Ain’t it strange?
Ain’t it crazy?
We’re all looking for the same thing
Ain’t it strange?
Ain’t it crazy?
Everybody sing
Can’t ignore
Next door neighbors
And pray for rain on the rest of us
I was born beside a trailer
Noah lives down at the funeral
So raise up your hands
And your tired eyes
Times aren’t changing
They never do
Good and bad, well it goes around
The rest is up to you
SEEDS ON THE RISE
(Doody)
Got your news today
It’s been awhile since you’ve gone
This old place never changed
Only us, moved on
Yes, I want to believe
We’re not seeds on the rise
We’re not thrown to the wind
and we don’t go where it flies
So burn down my answers
And forgive my crimes
And sing me a song from the past
Cause I’ve got no reasons
And you’ve got no time
Waiting for something to last
And I think that it’s strange
People look to the sky
Cause it ain’t where you’ve been
And it ain’t where you smiled
And we’re only here for a time
Now there’s hope for a plain man
Now there’s hope for a thief
Living life in a strange land
Feelin lonely, and brief
RECOVERY
(A. Hoskins)
Lately I’m not who I’m supposed to be
Thoughts and words are acting differently
Where do you even begin when you’re too lost to see
the beginning or end?
I don’t want a cure to leave behind this part of me
I hide on a stage
Inside a dream
You don’t always do what you’re supposed to
But it’s what you do next that will define you
I just want to be free
Let it die, this old part of me
Bring your fury inside
Red turns to white, and leave all the lies behind
Alone we aren’t much
Just lost in a crowd
Alone we aren’t much
But together we’re loud

And pray for rain on the rest of us
I was born beside a trailer
Noah lives down at the funeral
So raise up your hands
And your tired eyes
Times aren’t changing
They never do
Good and bad, well it goes around
The rest is up to you
SEEDS ON THE RISE
(Doody)
Got your news today
It’s been awhile since you’ve gone
This old place never changed
Only us, moved on
Yes, I want to believe
We’re not seeds on the rise
We’re not thrown to the wind
and we don’t go where it flies
So burn down my answers
And forgive my crimes
And sing me a song from the past
Cause I’ve got no reasons
And you’ve got no time
Waiting for something to last
And I think that it’s strange
People look to the sky
Cause it ain’t where you’ve been
And it ain’t where you smiled
And we’re only here for a time
Now there’s hope for a plain man
Now there’s hope for a thief
Living life in a strange land
Feelin lonely, and brief
RECOVERY
(A. Hoskins)
Lately I’m not who I’m supposed to be
Thoughts and words are acting differently
Where do you even begin when you’re too lost to see
the beginning or end?
I don’t want a cure to leave behind this part of me
I hide on a stage
Inside a dream
You don’t always do what you’re supposed to
But it’s what you do next that will define you
I just want to be free
Let it die, this old part of me
Bring your fury inside
Red turns to white, and leave all the lies behind
Alone we aren’t much
Just lost in a crowd
Alone we aren’t much
But together we’re loud
BIOGRAPHY
by Steve Leggett
A classic-sounding Southern rock band out on Knoxville, Tennessee, the Dirty Guv'nahs (frontman James Trimble, Hammond organist Chris Doody, pianist Michael Jenkins, guitarists Michael Jenkins and Cozmo Holloway, and brothers Justin and Aaron Hoskins on bass and drums, respectively) create an energized musical blend that recalls the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers Band, with a dose of Americana and the Band tossed in for seasoning. The band formed when the members were attending university in Knoxville, and what was initially supposed to be just a couple of occasional gigs really took off, and the band quickly developed a loyal local following. the Dirty Guv'nahs' energetic and inspired live shows earned them opening spots for acts like the Zac Brown Band, Wilco, and the Levon Helm Band, among others, and a performance slot at Bonnaroo -- a show that led to a recording session in 2009 at Levon Helm Studios. Two independent releases followed, 2009's The Dirty Guv'nahs and 2010's Youth Is in Our Blood. The band continued to evolve its sound on its third album, Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies, which was produced by Ross Copperman, engineered by Richie Biggs, and released in 2012 through a distribution deal with Dualtone Music.

LYRICS
WE’LL BE THE LIGHT
(Jenkins/Trimble)
summer’s gone but it won’t take long to look back
my girl had a big sky to consume, yes she did
i cried, like a brother had
been raised up from the pain again
i found myself a way to fall for you
put your hand in my pocket
i’ll be your favorite song
we’ll be the light and the diamond as well
need my name in the springtime
yes, you will.
we’re learning to take our time with the ones we love
time will tell if it makes a change
arrived, but turning back to
brave it all just for your hand
i’ll try my best to be right there
where you want to be, where you want to be
BROWN LITTLE BIRD
(Jenkins/Trimble)
hey, you wear me out, and you ease my mind
i was up on stage with the Mavis Family 3
but the crow’s gone rogue
and the murder cries
left his home and needs a family
brown little bird
hey, i need your wings
my morning song is just for you
your wagon’s full
of criminals
that paved the way for thieves like me
i said that boy got saved like a man
walkin down to the front row of a stage
cassette babe, this is the mad dog show, my way.
but when the charges come, he leaves his home
he wants to go back, but they can’t take a loan
and they never bruise… brown little bird
BORROWED TIME
(Jenkins/Trimble)
sympathy rises to meet me
says “what’s my name?”
change is coming i don’t wanna feel a thing.
murder me with a camera in my living room
telephone it keeps me happy; times are strange…
mirror’s buried, so i bought my neighbor’s frame
we’ve been borrowing time here for a little while
mary, would you meet me?
i believe it but it just can’t be true
jesus, would you lead us,
to the land where i just work for you?
i’m trying my best
but i just can’t confess
to things that i didn’t do.
nervous man with a warning
“all is vain, ‘less i’m loving you.”
nervous man comes round the corner
says “what’s the speech?”
voices blazing but the profits they don’t reach
well the people on the front row they been crying for days.
manhattan says they had it coming;
just a bit more!
but he’s got what he just don’t want
and he just can’t give, but he don’t know why
the people; they’re meager, but they feel the same
AFTERNOON EYES
(Jenkins/Trimble/J. Hoskins)
heard my name down on your footstep, i was blind
she was fallin in my shoes
minor stranger says she wants to take me round
got no time for her noose
she says “i’ve got a feeling, you’ve got the crown
you ain’t the man on the tram.”
say what you want about living this way
i ain’t got time for it
got my finger to the bone
grow up in the sky
you can’t put your finger on love
if you’re always quiet
got your arms all round a stranger
who was never alive
you can’t put your finger on love
with your afternoon eyes
nighttime and i was a singer
in a 14 piece rock and roll band
made a truce with my jailer
heard his feelings while i tried my own hand
he’ll tell, “have no doubt,
there’s a man he’s lookin for me…”
but he just don’t know, I might never change.
take me out of this crosstown scene
i got dreams of the stage.
it don’t mean nothing, nothing at all
did you see me laughin’? laughin’ it off?
BORN TO THIEVES
(Jenkins/Trimble/J. Hoskins)
fortunately, I was born to thieves
in a rage that was colored in shine
nightingales are not for sale
to my demise
i grin and bare, but my feelings show
a boy is out in the cold
it’s hard to show your teeth
when you’re feeling old
they made a mess
but we can clean it up
don’t you hold out on me
just give me your arm
and don’t apologize
for the things that they’ve done
fantasy is the strangest thing
when your name has been replaced
night’s like these will make me sleep for days
i’m a citizen in a foreign place
i’ve abandoned by my rights
a basket and a baby
on the riverside
SAGUARO
(Jenkins/Trimble)
climb up here, and shake this tree
the devil, he tries to get on me
steal my shade, and burn my name
the devil, he tries to get on me
the devil, he tries to get on me
we push and shove, but dream of love
the devil, he tries to get on me
we speak of peace, but fight for greed
the devil, he tries to get on me
the devil, he tries to get on me
so we try to hide, this fear inside
the devil, he tries to get on me
kick and scream, til we’re on our knees
the devil, he tries to get on me
the devil, he tries to get on me
hallelujah, i can’t hide
hallelujah, i can’t hide
hallelujah, i can’t hide.
hallelujah, hallelujah.
COMMON PEOPLE
(Jenkins/Trimble)
all you want is a rescue scene
rebelled from the ones you love
please forgive me
your only child,
this well is a fillin’ up.
everything is mystery
we will meet in homecoming.
silence leads to madness
when you’re feelin’ like you made mistakes
angel won’t you help me?
i’m a stranger, but family.
where the weak will come to see, let them lead the homecoming.
you better help yourself
QUIET TIGERS
(Doody)
we’ve been gathering to hear your tune
and find a better place to fly
old levi must have heard you singing bout my shame
while he traveled down the road where I would die
lions everywhere, i search the ground for stones
“it ain’t my blood that dipped your robes”
dust filled fairy tales, lead us all to sleep
a tired mind, that comfort left so closed
gather round down by the ringside
c’mon let me, find some peace of mind
awake the quiet tigers
i won’t be your happy night
now your moving on to something new
common folk won’t speak your name
and what a shape we made with all the lines we’ve drawn
but never heard that we were raised by fame
she took a stand out in the courtyard
while the jesters, came to claim her throne
awake the lonely riders
lord don’t let me, burn this town alone
OH, JERICHO
(Jenkins/Trimble)
some folks get nervous when they hear of a change
some people, they put their faith in jesus
some girls make big mistakes
and fall for boys that dream
well that ain’t so obscene, to me
oh me, oh my
in your arms i’m not alone
we all need, family
walking around jericho
this lane, it lets everyone in, so take your place
my well’s full of wishes that I can’t keep
you caught me thinking
that you could still love me
imagine how we’d sing
oh the sound.
LOVELY BONES
(Jenkins/Trimble)
save a seat at the table
i’ll be right behind
walk our way to the kingdom
lovely bones will rise
night time is a man’s great escape
today the wheel is coming off
no one, no one has to know
a compromise is born
and i cry, nobody’s watching
asleep beneath your crimes
time, it just creeps, and we can’t find no peace
our days are burning wild.
we’re learning, keep looking up
don’t fight it, it’s never enough
we gotta stand for something, and learn to draw a line
a new dawn fades and we have all been changed by the light
that’s in each other’s eyes
lovely bones will rise
LEAVING ROADS
(Jenkins/Trimble)
time will tell, even where i’ve been
just don’t waste your time with me
leaving roads never lead you home
need you where you want to be
with a warning, i raise my hand
weeping over right now
ashes floating on the riverbend
as an orphan smiles
PERMANEO DIES
(Jenkins/Trimble)
all we are, is all we got
so pay your attention to me
take your time, with the ones that you love
as we wait for the turn of the sea
but we want the answers, and we don’t wanna wait..
and time makes us change, as we labor our lives
all we are, is all we got
so pay your attention to me
IN THE END
(Jenkins/Trimble)
all we are, is all we got
all we are, in the end
