lyrics

My father didn’t work on the railroad, and my father didn’t farm the land
My father didn’t work on the river, no, numbers were his plan
And I was raised on a middle class income that grew better by the day
But some families have another thing coming and ours fell apart along the way, the way

You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside

Those of us who arm ourselves with a six string, we tell our histories in song
Well I grew up on the edge of a church pew being taught that I was wrong
Still I opened that hymnal every Sunday, still I followed along singing
This is my story, this is my song
This is my story, this is my song

You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside

There ain’t nothing new under the sun
I learned that from the old testament
So bury me under the willow if you want
I’d rather be among the pines
Sharing stories over whiskey and wine while you
Speak your truth and live your lie

You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside
This is my story, this is my song
This is my story, this is my song

about

Ever More Nest image

Ever More Nest New Orleans, Louisiana

Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of Ever More Nest can likewise lull and rock you right off a front porch. Ever More Nest’s dynamic, homegrown voice—hugged by lush, church-pew harmonies— is complemented by ghostly, effusive guitars, spirited mandolin and banjo, mournful fiddle, and a rhythm section steady as a country train. ... more
