River rolls, oh it keeps on rollin' as it rolls, down the line and I'm screaming, out for answers oh man but I can't, make a sound And the devil, he came knocking on my door, late last night Said he'd drown me, in that river oh man But I ain't going, without a fight Cause the devil wont' get me down No the devil won't get me down I said the devil won't get me down, oh yeah Devil won't get me down Mama, I ain't about to drown I said the devil won't get me down, oh yeah And I swear, I'm gonna quit soon I'm gonna dry out, and get on my way But that devil, is sure to rise up again Oh the prices, that we've paid Cause the devil wont' get me down No the devil won't get me down I said the devil won't get me down, oh yeah Devil won't get me down Honey, I ain't about to drown I said the devil won't get me down, oh yeah

Already Gone 03:08
I, am just a bag of bones / I am blood and water and a heart thats made of stone Well stone/ it can still break I'm tired of making up excuses for all of my mistakes I could never ask you to stay cause you're already gone, yes you're already gone You could never look at me that way cause you're already done, yes you're already done with me, your with me / so please, please please You, you light up the night and I'm just trying to bend this string until the key it sounds just right and I can't make you understand Why I keep building up these bridges just to burn them down again I could never ask you to stay cause you're already gone, yes you're already gone You could never look at me that way cause you're already done, yes you're already done with me, your with me / so please, please please I, am just a bag of bones I'm blood and water and a heart thats made of stone

It's hard / to keep on keepin' on Or at least / to keep up with the race And I / am worried now Cause I'm losing speed / at a break neck pace Time / it is a loaded gun Don't you go / and let it go off in your face And I / I'm just trying to hold onto anything I got no answers / I got to get out of this place And that train keeps rolling And it is rolling down the line Always picking up the people Always leaving me behind Sometimes you got to ask yourself "man, who the hell am I" Theres nowhere to run, no where to hide (no where to run, no where to hide) And someday / I will return to ash Oh I'm just bones in a million little grains And life / oh it can be hard As soon as your back on track It will run you off again And that train keeps rolling And it is rolling down the line And I'm pickin up the pieces Of a life I should have left behind Sometimes you got to ask yourself "man, who the hell am I" Theres nowhere to run, no where to hide (no where to run, no where to hide)

127 Miles 03:30
It's 127 miles as the crow flies the distance has been wearing me thin I'll tell you the story behind these eyes but I just don't know, where to begin Lately I've been trying to find my heart cause I've been lost and out of sight, inside my head and everything here is falling apart like the petals of old roses by your bed And I guess I'll have to think of you again when the bottle, it no longer fills my cup you look at me like I'm some kind of sin I'm always angry and I just don't give a fuck Its 127 miles as the crow flies and its been 7 days, since you've been gone I'll tell you the story behind these eyes but I'll be seeing you before too long yes I'll be seeing you before too long oh mama, I'll be loving you before too long

about

Brian Carroll

Modern Roots, is perhaps a contradiction in its very name, but a musical ideal that Carroll stands firm to uphold. Drawing inspiration in style and delivery from songwriters and musicians of that past, while writing from what inspires him in his everyday life, he bridges the gap between American Roots and current day Americana music. ... more
