TIM BARRY "Boxwine & Xanax" (OFFICIAL)
I've heard people call this the "saddest" or "darkest" song I've written. Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't.
Recorded spontaneously in one take on my phone at a cabin in Buckingham County, VA Mid-December 2019.

"BOXWINE & XANAX"
TELL MY MOM NOT TO WORRY AT ALL
SPEED AIN'T PURE UP ON MID LO NO MORE
I COOK AND CLEAN BY 5 AND HIDE OUT OF THE WAY
I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING TOO MUCH TALKING THESE DAYS
I AIN'T LEAVING THIS HOUSE FOR NOTHING AT ALL
MY THOUGHTS WILL NOT CRASH, MY WORDS WILL NOT STALL
BUT THERE'S GHOSTS UP IN THIS HOUSE
AND THEY'RE ALL RATTLING THEIR CHAINS
I DON'T TRY AS HARD AS IN OUR HONEYMOON STAGE
MOMMA STOMP YOUR FOOT
MOMMA SLAP YOUR KNEE
MOMMA BRUSH MY HAIR
MOMMA SING TO ME
TELL MY FRIENDS NO TO WORRY AT ALL
THEIR SPARE KEYS WENT DOWN THEIR MAILBOX SLOTS
I'M DOWN BY HELL TO WARM BY THE FIRE
I QUIT CAUSE I COULDN'T GET ANY HIGHER
I'VE BEEN GIVING THANKS, HIDING FOR DAYS
BOXWINE AND XANAX ON LUNCH BREAK
YOU CAN KEEP THE GIFTS FROM THE ANNIVERSARY THEY'RE YOURS
I DON'T CELEBRATE IT ANYMORE
MOMMA STOMP YOUR FOOT
MOMMA SLAP YOUR KNEE
MOMMA BRAID MY HAIR
MOMMA PRAY FOR ME
HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY LA
REMEMBER WHEN YOU'D PICK UP WHENEVER I'D CALL?
HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY LAY
REMEMBER WHEN YOU'D LAUGH AT EVERYTHING I'D SAY
HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY LA
REMEMBER WHEN WE'D GET BACK UP WHENEVER WE'D FALL?
HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY HEY LOLLY LAY
I CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS ANOTHER DAY
