So, this post is a little different.
Usually I do fairly upbeat songs for lyric shoots, but I thought I would try out an 'out of the ordinary' song.
When I was considering using this song for a photo shoot, I tried to imagine how I wanted the pictures to look.
The song put me in mind of very dark and high contrast pictures, which is really not my photography style. So I thought it would also be a fun challenge to step out of my comfort zone.
I find this song interesting because Colter Wall has a very unique voice. Plus I've meet his father, Premier Brad Wall, but that's a long story.
Anyways, the song is clean, but the words are a little weird.
I would suggest playing the song on YouTube while you look at the pictures.

Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honky-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain

High heel lady spitting at the nickajack
Business man with a needle and a spoon
Coyote chewing on a cigarette
Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon
Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Three dead in a crash on the number four
Two witnesses below and up high
Not sure whose will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why
Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
Could it be it's the same as the last
Swear I seen your face elsewhere before
Just as familiar as the bottle and the glass
Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me
