about

Break-ups and romance are a dime a dozen in the music industry, but not often do we sing about the guilty indulgence of doomed love. Influenced by the minimal approach of acts like Wood Brothers or Ray LaMontagne, “Bonnie & Clyde” gives NOTHINS WRONG the right dosage of romantic flair while recognizing the brokenness in all of us. Let’s take a last-ditch trip to Louisiana, like a broken-hearted Bonnie and Clyde.

lyrics

My next failed-love song’s seated on leather at the end of a copper-top bar
I can tell by the broken nails and messy hair she’s the kind I’m gonna take too far
And I know by the scars on my weathered intuition we’re bound to be a flash in a pan
I ain’t Nostradamus but I can see the future we got nine weeks, maybe ten

Let’s go down and say that we tried
We can drown, swept up in the tide
Take a last-ditch trip to Louisiana like a broken-hearted Bonnie and Clyde
And fill each other’s hearts full of bullet holes at the end of the ride

All my boys say to spend a little time with myself but I ain’t too good of company
Not compared to a silver blonde, tattooed mama with her thighs on either side of me
And I pour one out on my wildfire heart before I go and light it again
Just give me one reason and I’m yours for the night, the week, the month baby just say when


Let’s go down like a white water river ride
We can leave this town and all our friends behind
Take a last-ditch trip to Louisiana like a broken-hearted Bonnie and Clyde
And fill each other’s hearts full of bullet holes at the end of the ride

Let’s light up this house again (Again)


The bars, the bottles, the beauty and the bodies are the only thing I still can’t shake
Many other ghosts have been laid to rest but it's the ladies that keep me awake
And I’m guilty of getting into situations just to have a good story to tell
Cause at the end of the day we all say thanks, goodbye, I wish you well (wish you well)


Let’s go down and say that we tried
We can drown, swept up in the tide
Take a last-ditch trip down to Louisiana like a broken-hearted Bonnie and Clyde
And fill each other’s hearts full of bullet holes at the end of the ride


Let’s go down like a white water river ride
We can leave this town and all our friends behind
Take a last-ditch trip to Louisiana like a broken-hearted Bonnie and Clyde
And fill each other’s hearts full of bullet holes at the end of the ride

From the oily floors of the garage to the sticky counters of the bar, the Cottonwood Boys sound speaks to anyone who's wondering "Where is a song about me?"

Bluegrass? Alt Country? Mountain Music? They aren't sure.

In fact, they are too busy trying to sell a song or find a meal to really care but they'll hear you out. ... more
