Trash Fire Lyrics by JP Harris

JP Harris Is a Trash Fire

2024

[Verse 1]
I'm writin' old songs in a new style
Just tryin' to stretch this country mile
A little further on down the road
Countin' streams and cellphone movies
Art these days, it ain't so groovy
Like it was in the seventies, you know?
But I ain't got time for slingin' mud
From the ditches I been diggin' up to my tits
In debts and fret, and I don't care
'Cause someday all the kids'll say
"There's a honky tonkin' legend from back in the day"
And I'll sell out coffee houses everywhere, oh
[Chorus]
And like a trash fire ragin' at the scrap metal yard by the highway
It keeps burnin' against their will
Lord, I might take up some time, but you know I'm gonna do it my way
The world keeps turnin' and I stand still
[Verse 2]
Ten years hurryin' just to wait
A Gold record short, a few decades late
This old early bird can't seem to find no worm
A house-broke tiger on a leash
Too much pit and not enough peach
For the record men to meet me on my terms
And meanwhile, the new revival fashionistas
Frown me down for showing up sleeveless
To their well-heeled, outlaw press soirees
Yeah, my story reads like the wettest dreams
For pricks who pitch publicity, but
Hemlines take the headlines here these days
[Chorus]
And like a trash fire ragin' at the scrap metal yard by the highway
It keeps burnin' against their will
Oh, I might take up some time, but you know I'm gonna do it my way
The world keeps turnin' and I stand still
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Oh, 'cause authenticity just don't pay
Flavor of the month, it's the soup of the day
Falling behind while the taste is made
Ain't gonna worry my day, no
[Chorus]
'Cause like a trash fire ragin' at the scrap metal yard by the highway
It keeps burnin' against their will
Lord, I might take up some time, but you know I'm gonna do it my way
The world keeps turnin' and I stand still
[Post-Chorus]
The world keeps turnin' and I stand still
