Throwing In The Towel (free) 04:21
There’s a time for mending fences, A time to lay low You swing your hammer and work for the day. When everything slows down and the skies are blue And you can sit back and watch your kids play There’s no guarantees, nothing set in stone No promises but the promises you make And the dirt you turn where someday you’ll lay. CHORUS Momma said that you sold all the horses. You told me to never sell it short Love when you can, fight when you have to Throwin’ in the towel ain’t like you Which way to the exit, the back door or the front? You don’t always get to pick the way With your head held high or in the blink of an eye With weight on your tongue or nothing to say Watching Shane ride away in the dust You wish you could go out that way But that’s not the picture today CHORUS --- It’s not the passing light that breaks my heart, It’s how the fire came to a start I’m not afraid of dying but I’m scared of being scared and looks like that’s just how it’s gotta be. It looks like that’s just how it’s gotta be CHORUS----

My right side’s on the track and my left side’s in the sky Let’s see if we can’t hold this turn Somebody’s heart’s breakin’ in time with someone’s smile Let’s see if we can’t hold this burn Last night and the good times are burning hot and bright Like a light at its last Like a song that ends too soon, hearts are meant to break That’s the beauty of moving fast CHORUS What’s a guy gotta do? 3x’s Just to be with you I lived a hundred years last night I thought it was the end We danced the world and then we drove some more But I’m built like a tank, man. The doc, he slapped my back Said “Boy, you ain’t done in this world.” CHORUS -- You went on ahead and I’m tired of waitin’ around My heart don’t know when to quit I’m gonna find you out in the stars tonight ‘Cause I’m done with this, I’m done with this CHORUS --

Fire’s your fear and falling’s mine But you don’t have to worry dear I aint gonna fall this time My guts are aching it’s been a bad week But there aint nothing wrong with me That I can’t fix this time How’d you hit the edge man? Did someone blow your big plan? Or could you just not wait to see? Now every time I cross under I just look up and wonder How surrender feels. CHORUS We all got a cross to bear bones to grind But don’t you worry girl, no one’s grinding mine Fire’s your fear and falling’s mine But don’t you worry dear I don’t want to die There’s something ‘bout these times That are weighing hard on my mind But I won’t forget what it means to live I can’t tell you what’s coming But it don’t really matter love I won’t take for granted what you give There’s a sea of surrender To fall in and remember To kill the demons that keep you pinned Everyday now I’m getting closer to learning how To jump without it being the end The end CHORUS--- I breathe in air like knives and glass My head feels like a warm breeze that I found at last On my side I see your face On my side I see your face I watch you sleep I love this place I love this place CHORUS --

I Know 05:19
Nothing like throwing a rod, pushing a hole right through the hood My engine’s leaking like a gut shot man Do remember when we first kissed we tore out through the woods I drove like Hell while you screamed and held my hand I was kicking gravel as you laughed out loud and pressed you mouth up to mine That kiss was worth the busted oil pan But I heard your lies that kiss must be lost on you It’s not as easy to fix a broken man CHORUS I know what’s going on No one’s going to come save us now I know what’s going on I’m drowning with out a sound ‘Cause I know you’ve been messing ‘round And I just gotta blow this town But I can’t say good-bye There’s not enough road to burn outta here And I tried to burn up all I can You better watch out or I’ll run you down dear How could you give your heart to another man CHORUS---- I love when you laugh, I love when you cry, I love that you don’t trust in God I love your twisted heart, I love your twisted start How come this has to be so Goddamned hard Does he love those things? Does he know that you sing? Does he know that you’re lying to me? Does he know that you’re going to break his heart if I don’t find him first and put him under my wheels? CHORUS-----

I see better than I used to But my eyes, they aren’t the same I could lift a boxcar for her But my back’s seen better days I’ve got a love that’s stronger than the land And it’s OK if you don’t understand I found out I could kill I could do it in a blink Before you step to my girl You better stop and think ‘Cause I’ve got a love that’s stronger than you man And it’s OK if you don’t understand You can see them staring at us sideways I see they don’t believe That our stitched up hearts and ruby scars are beautiful things She keeps me out of my grave With a gentle guiding hand And it’s OK if you don’t understand

about

Seattle’s Jackrabbit’s debut E.P. released on May 18th 2011. Coincidently, this is also the anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens and singer/songwriter Tony Fulgham’s arrival to Seattle from Houston. Inspired by a topless mountain and a wealth of open green space, Tony’s songwriting started shortly thereafter and has been going strong ever since.
Tony’s most notable musical achievement to date was four years and two records made with his band North Twin. Falling Apart and Stronger at the Broken Places both received great reviews and regular rotation on KEXP, as well as college stations around the nation (including The Outlaw Country Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio). A true band, North Twin decided to call it quits when drummer Rick Cranford answered the call of the east and returned to the land of his people in Boston. The year that followed was a persistent search for the chemistry so elusive in starting a new band.
During this search, Tony tried a dozen different combos ranging from 4 to 7 members. Good musicians all, but none worked until Tony met drummer Aimee Zoe Tubbs at a show with one of her other bands, The Starlings. It was an instant musical crush.
Recorded over a rainy weekend on Vashon Island at Jason Staczek’s home studio followed by a couple nights with legendary Seattle producer, Johnny Sangster. No frills, nothing fancy but guest appearances where a little icing was needed on the cake. Tony's sister, Shannon joins for some backing vocals on “Falling is Mine” and “Stronger Than You” while Bloodshot recording artist, Maggie Bjorklund plays pedal steel on the same two tracks. Jason Staczek and his grand piano on “Stronger Than You” while Johnny Sangster fills out “Falling Is Mine” with the addition of his electric guitar.
Recently, inimitable singer/songwriter Moe Provencer joined Jackrabbit on bass guitar and Jason Montgomery on many of the other fine, stringed instruments. (pedal steel, lap steel, electric and acoustic guitar.)
Influenced by Waylon Jennings, Calexico, Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tony’s song writing seems to be endless and a feature length record is soon to follow.
With a batch of sad songs about good times, Jackrabbit seems to be at the beginning of a friendship that will one day be worth a story all its own.
