Bridge Over Concrete
I'm out walking on the street tonight
Out where its dark even under the lights
You know the pavement well it speak to me quiet
Come on son bring yourself to the fight
Like a bridge over the concrete
Like a bridge over the concrete
Out in the AM not a soul in sight
I did everything but feel alright
Warm my hands like an open fire
Out in the dark when you're oh so tired
Like a bridge over the concrete
Like a bridge over the concrete
Leave a light on it'll be alright
We'll find our way home in the morning light
I kept a space for you all my life
Of all the endings never one so right

Ride On
You play your stereo loud
For the world to hear
It's the middle of the night
But it's loud and clear
You’re singing 'Whole Lotta Love'
But I don't wanna know your name
Don't wanna look in your window
Don't wanna touch that flame
Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got not time to be broken
Ride on
I think I seen ya round
Maybe on a train
Maybe on the side walk
Standin' in the rain
I never cross your path
I never catch catch your eye
Don't wanna look too closely
Don't wanna see you smile
Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got not time to be broken
Ride on
It's the middle of the night
I hear you leave your place
Walk the end of the road
Car lights set the pace
I see you open the door
Somethin' bout "it's cold outside”
And you know I wish it me
To take you for a ride
Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got not time to be broken
Ride on

Details
Ten Years got my back against the same wall had my back against before
Will you take my hand let me have this dance?
Don’t know the song but I like the band that are playing
Kind of like old times
Some nights when you wake up cold
Circle the globe just to find out what I know, what I already know
There ain’t a lot for you to understand
There ain’t a plan and there ain’t no grand scheme of things
But we’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
We’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
Mama, sorry to say I’m never coming back
I’ll be off the road, I’ll be off the beaten track, off the rails
You say; how can I love you with this broken heart?
It ain’t the love but the getting there’s the part that we all want to hold
But we’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
We’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
They’re just details, they’re just details
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you

Light My Way
Everyone got a devil that they will run from
Anyone got directions of where to run?
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way
Baby light my way
Baby light my way
Lose yourself and your story of which to draw from
Cos the media man it's all a dream
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way
Baby light my way
Baby light my way
Baby light my way
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life I ain't lying to you now
On my Life, on my life, on my life

Break, Rattle and Roll
Beauty right beside me I don't dream a lot
I got a habit of breaking 'fore the rattle stops
So I came here to tell you I don't love you anymore
But is that true
Watched you hunt for things that you can take apart
Out here with the truckers, kickers, crooked hearts
But I'll stand here and tear it down just to rebuild in blood
Ain't that true
Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll
In that picture frame I fade in to you
Will you come back and haunt me if I asked you to?
I always kinda wondered if we'd ever make it through
But it ain't you, no it ain't you
Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll
You tore through the night like some desert wind
You read me the ending, now I can't begin
So I came here to tell you, I don't love you anymore
but it ain't true, no it ain’t true
Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll

Gamblin’ Man
She'll give you 69 reasons with a kiss on the cheek
Lost your head but you’re a gamblin’ man
Now the fever’s long gone
And the sun’s coming up
Hitch a ride or have a change of plan
Cos you been down here before
Know the smell of the floor
Know the ins and know the way back up
You been mystified by lady luck
Getting tangled in the web she spun
Let it loose tonight
Let it loose tonight
If the money’s tight
It’s alright, alright
If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose
Let it loose tonight, alright
No more those dog throws coming up with pairs of eyes
No more broken hearts and bad beat hands
We’re gonna ride this river down to old fifth street
Gonna catch just what the draw demands
Let it loose tonight
Let it loose tonight
If the money’s tight
It’s alright, alright
If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose
Let it loose tonight, alright
If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose

Old Hotel Room
There's an old hotel room we stayed in '05
I just went past in my car, I remember your smile
There's no lights on, it's kinda come down hill from what I see
But it's been so many years I'm sure you've changed as well
I'm down on my knees, keys in my hands
It's four in the morning and I'm just driving round
If it's gonna rain then rain, don't waste my time with grey
It's just like those promises of things that'll never be
I'm down on my knees, keys in my hands
It's four in the morning and I'm just driving round to that old hotel room

Sun Will Set
The weight of the world, the rise and fall
Will stay with you darling in the pouring rain
Wade in the water, arms length from the shore
‘Stead of taking you under, might of taken you there
Light breaks the day, ain't about romance,
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise
The weight on your shoulders will see you take that fall
Will stay with you darlin’ when the storm blows in
Forever's a long time, for always ain't sure
And this old heartbreak, well it's setting in
Light breaks the day, ain't about romance,
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise 'til you wake up
When nothing comes close, ain't it cold?
I've seen that silver turn to gold, then to rust
But don't let it be all that you have
Don't let it be all that you have
Light breaks the day, ain't about romance,
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise 'til you wake up

Love Sick Child
Howling through the bad lands
Out to where the morning comes, ain’t that right?
Lost and all the money gone
Damn, we had a good time, well alright
Sure to be a strange love
Girl don’t be stranger, oh come on
Fallin’ from a great height
Fixing for the free fall
I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something, ain’t that right? ain’t that right?
Never been to California
Well I hear that’s where your headed for, ain’t that right?
City where the light holds
Out to where the morning comes every night
I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something
Ain’t that right? ain’t that right?
I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something
You’re my love sick child

House That Burnt Down
I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
Everything up in flames
House that burnt down
I come home to my house
All aflame Lord, all aflame
And my heart was the same
House that burnt down
I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
And I searched for you
But you were already gone, already gone

We Get Lost
Like a drunk I still feel
You were blind and in that free
If I was cold, ‘cos I know I can be
If I was cold I’m Sorry
But don’t let it be over
It got rough
I believe you said it’s not meant to be like this
And I stood still for a while babe
But don’t let it be over
Love don’t come cheap
We get lost, we get lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost
We barely recognise our lives
Like washed up clothes on the riverside
Say goodbye, say goodbye….
Love don’t come cheap
We get lost, we get lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost
I still hear you say
You and me we are lost, we are lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost
If I was cold, ‘cos I know I can be
If I was cold I’m sorry

Matt Joe Gow Melbourne, Australia
Few artists wield so much charisma that they can sell you just about anything before you’ve realised what’s happened. Matt
Joe Gow has the charisma to be one of those artists – but he isn’t.
Matt concentrates on the conviction. You don’t have to listen to more than ten seconds of Matt's award winning albums to appreciate that. Barroom Americana with confiding closeness.

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper

Make Way For Love
by Marlon Williams
supported by 5 fans who also own “Break, Rattle And Roll”
This album. One of only a handful that I could put on and immediately be transported. Marlon's voice conveys the beauty and misery in a way that isn't encountered often - and impossible to duplicate. Most excellent.
