Born too Blue cover art

lyrics

On the rankest country grass,
fastened tight & out of touch,
steady rhythm of the rolling weeds
They all burn out like the sun.
They're all burnt out like the sun.

I was born too blue.
I was born too blue.

I forget my steadfast daydreams
Plenty I begot before
Ima listen for your footsteps dear
but there's the crashing of the shore
Caught you crashing on the floor

I was born too blue.
I was born too blue.
I was born too blue.

Well, I know
there's a bullet
in my teeth
& I caught it for thee

Roses are blue
Violets are red
I never meant to make you green

She stuck her head with flowers
She caked her neck with dirt
She stood out in the rain to show
Growing flowers doesn't hurt
Pushing daisies doesn't hurt
her

I was born too blue.
I was born too blue.
I was born too blue.

about

In California, Maxim Ludwig lives surrounded by the ghosts of the “Gone West” migration. Though barely broken into his 20′s, ... more his songs seem drunk-honest in their depiction of an uncertain life in a temporary town. His deeply personal and wild live shows have caused the Los Angeles Times to label him as a “brash maverick” who “views rules as something to be broken, not followed”. less
