Trainwreck by Black Creek Rock
Good times and fine wine. Get out there and paint the town. Life is but a party for many that enjoy the pinnacle and prime of youth; but all good things must come to an end. The impulsive decisions of yesterday often come into full and unbearable focus later. When the party's over, what end might have been realized? Will it all have been a trainwreck?
Trainwreck was originally conceived by Jeff O'Clair as a "crooner's song" and provided the lyrics. Paired with Matt Bonner's progression and melodies, BCR had a song. But it was only when David Bonner performed the string parts (including some killer ad lib solo sections) did BCR begin to realize what a great song we had. We hope that you like this one just half as much as we do.

Lyrics
Didn't we paint this old town?
You and I, both sides up and down
How many coats now, two or three?
Or maybe a few more from what I see
This old town, if you let it
Will drive you crazy and you can bet...
You can bet on it
Doors close, the bridges burn
Trainwreck, heartache, no lessons learned
Trainwrecks happen every day
They're going to stop and stare
No one can look away
From me and this wreck I've made
While no one runs the institutions
The lunatics have their own solutions
We've all gone mad, so it's said
Cue the crazy laughter in my head
This old life, if you let it
Will drive you crazy, and you can bet...
You can bet on it
Doors close, the bridges burn
Trainwrecks, heartaches, no lessons learned
Trainwrecks happen every day
They're going to stop and stare
No one can look away
Counting up the damage I must pay

Do you like crunchy guitar tones, thick bass, jangling piano, swelling organ and the raspy crack of the snare? If so, look no further because you've found it. This duo is from the deep south near to the muddy banks of Black Creek in Northeast Alabama. No profanity, no vulgarity, just music about subjects that are of interest to us. Thanks for visiting!
