lyrics

You can go west, you can go south
Drive right in to the devil's mouth
Grow out your sideburns, open a pawn shop
Close it at five and lick every lock

You can take a train, you can take a bus
Greyhound has discounts for heartbroken mutts
Swear off the downers, start a new band
Hello you don't know me I swear we'll be friends

But you can't shake
What you can't shake
Nothing will stay
Right where you set it to get it to stay

And are you one to wander / Wander with much regret
And are you one to wonder / What you can carry and fit
And what you can drop in some lonely spot
And say that you’ll never forget

Back to the piñon, back to the live oak
Pack up the rain in the smell of your coat
Promise to write, promise to call
Buy a new lighter and forget them all


But why do I keep that matchbook, you asked
If I always brag about blowing up the past
Why did I keep that gun in my trunk?
Why did I only bury the one?


Are you one to hang up right when someone says hello
Are you one to construct a new heart for every zipcode

And what did you drop in some lonely spot
and say you were happy to know

Clementine Was Right Denver, Colorado

Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of Denver- based poets Mike Young and Gion Davis.

Chronicling years of uprooting, the music gallops and sways through lyric-driven, hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo, harmonizing and storytelling.
