about

"Flesh and Bone"is a 180 degrees from the roadhouse stylings of "Backroom In Tulsa." Perfomed with delicate guitar, pedal steel, and accordian, this track tackles the not-so-simple issue of an imperfect man in a perfect relationship.

lyrics

If my heart was made of gold
I’d give it all away to be sold
I would buy you a great big house
Full of fancy clothes
I’d fill it up with pretty things
When you’d sleep, you’d have pretty dreams
But my body is only made of flesh and bone

If my heart was made of fire
Full of passion and desire
I could burn right through this life and
Never tire
When the darkness stole you from your path
My light would guide you back
But my body is only made of flesh and bone

If my heart was made of stone
I’d have no fear of fates unknown
I’d stare straight into the eyes of
That old crone
All the rivers in the world too wide to cross
I’d build a bridge to carry you across
But my body is only made of flesh and bone

If your heart was made of gold
What keep me warm when I was cold
A great big house ain’t much
Without someone to hold
Silver and gold shine brightly in the light
But I need a love that keeps me close at night
I’m so thankful you’re only made of flesh and bone

No flame can burn as hot
As the love I’ve got for you
No river I can’t cross
No way that I’ll get lost
‘Cause I know
You love me too

All the treasures in this world, from
Diamond rings to rare black pearls
They’re fine and they’re good for all those
Other girls
All I want is you here by my side
So come on and take me for a ride
I’m so thankful you’re only made of flesh and bone
Yes I’m thankful you’re only made of flesh and bone

Wesley Morgan San Francisco, California

Wesley Morgan Performs Swamp Noir which is:
Broken-down blues rolling out of a Saturday night juke joint, and stumbling drunk into Sunday morning redemption. Junkyard swing that is ragged and raw, with melodies that drop off, bend, and crack. Dark lyrics full of charming devils and angels with broken wings.

Tell me little girl, are you a sinner or a saint? Down on your knees, no hint of restraint ... more
