1.
Laid up in the house full of hookers and wine My baby's in the back done committing a crime Bad times ahead good times behind Ain't no rest for a good loving mind My baby gets high Walking the line My baby gets high Locked up in the pen laid up in the cell The preacher wanna tell me that he knows about hell Ain't never had a job, ain't never had a home He don't know what it's like to be all alone
2.
We got the same old thing coming around And I know not to look down Driving home last night in a haze Don't you know I long for better days Honey you know I'm sad and blue And I don't know what to do And honey you know how I feel So won't you please take the wheel I forgot how much I love music Cause for so long I thought I might lose it It's the heart and the soul in the rhyme It's that feeling you get when the rhythm's in time
3.
Some call em' tear dropsI call it pain Some call it love I call it the same I never loved a woman the way I love you And if you give me your heart I'll say I do Son we broke the bed when we made ya Down in Melbourne Ky. just west of Batavia Where Luther's playing Bobby Mackey all night I'm born and proud to be from Cincinnati I got a good woman that calls me daddy And I never thought I'd feel this right Some call it payday I call it paying bills Sometimes they look like mountains but I'm told they're hills I'd like to thank the good lord even I get behind I got a little peace and a satisfied mind
4.
She says she don't like diamonds That's my kind of woman She takes good care of me Like god split the sea I seen her walk on the water She makes it look so easy It's a different kind of love the kind you hold on to The kind that comes from above the kind of love you know that's true The kind that comes from he heart the kind that pulls us through The kind that will never tear us apart the kind of love I have for you I work outside when it's raining I work outside when it's cold Ain't no use in complaining That I ain't seen a shade tree all year long I wake up early in the morning I head right out the door Ain't no use in wondering Why I'm doing this for
5.
A little bit of cussing and little bit of fussing keep me busy on a Saturday night I'm holding my baby cause she's going crazy and I know that she ain't feeling right I'm screaming hallelujah cause I see it going through you and I know there gonna come on a light I you hold on brother I know like any other that soon you're gonna be alright I don't believe in a long black train Or a lake of fire or a 40 day rain But I believe we can all be free And I know there's something wrong And it's gotta be me Have you ever seen a robin with it's ear to the ground looking for a big old worm I'm the kind of man that puts his hand on a stove and doesn't even feel the burn Sweet sweet Jesus well I know he really needs us but I'm hoping that it ain't my turn I got a whole lot of living and a whole lot of giving and a lot more lessons to learn
6.
I knew a guy did some time In Coffee County he was a friend of mine We did a few nights in Kenton County And I did a few nights in old Boone County I got tired of going to jail every time I drink a beer When you wake up in the morning and you knew your time was near I got a good woman she's got the sweetest kiss If life don't get better I'm alright with this Institutions I nearly lost my mind In a long dark hallway hope is hard to find I was lost I nearly went blind I got the good Lord and he's a friend of mine
7.
May I never leave here again May I stay here with my savior And let her hold me till the end And I know my days will get better Even if the sky is dark or blue And when I stand before my maker I'll know I did the best I could do May my thoughts not be of myself May I stop and think of someone else And may my life be filled with family Or someone I can help
8.
I've always had trouble keeping that devil down When everything inside me died then I came up from the ground I had to say goodbye to all of my old way It's hard to live with something good when you hold on to them things Ain't nothing wrong ain't nothing right Well I won't slow down till I see that old bright light I hear them people talking it don't keep me up at night Ain't nothing ain't nothing right Got a good girl in Kentucky she treats me like a king I do the same for her I treat her like a queen I heard my old man say song I sure am glad you quit I don't know what happened to you but you better hand on to it
9.
I don't know about heaven guess I'll find out when I die If a man tells you that he knows you know he's lying I just roll them sevens I keep on trying If I ever stop loving you you know I'm dying In nineteen hundred seventy seven my momma thought I came from heaven Lord knows it was too soon to tell later in life she knew I came from hell If my body and my should separates and I find myself at the pearly gates I'll ask the lord is this the end and if so where the hell are my friends If he says they're in the fires below, don't you worry that's where you'll go I'll say hey man that's alright you see at least I'll be with the ones who really love me I guess I seem kind of angry I got some growing to do I always knew you had me like a rock in my shoe If the road seems to get heavy I know just what I'll do I'll call on one of my brothers instead of calling on you

about

If OH/KY was the self-assured introduction of an unconventional new talent, his 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move. Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. Here Pinnell joyfully embraces the working life, family obligations, and faith. His new stories delve into acceptance and survival, all the while investigating his most challenging chapter yet: adulthood. While “If life don’t get any better / I’m alright with this” isn’t an out-right triumph, it’s an honest revelation.

about

Jeremy Pinnell Covington, Kentucky

"Hardscrabble honky-tonk at its best, nodding to Johnny Cash and Buck Owens in equal measure. Ties of Blood and Affection is a stellar collection that could earn Pinnell comparisons to Sturgill Simpson.” - ROLLING STONE
