it’s true when they say
you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone
there’s something in the way
it’s breaking your heart for so long
your memory’s in the hill country wind
and it hurts to know that I can’t go back again
it’s a hard road to go
down to San Antone
these days things just ain’t the same
and every time I know
there ain’t nobody home
I wish I could, but I can’t stay
around this time of year
a southbound road starts calling my name
so tell me why I gotta fear
each mile that moves me back from where I came
'cause your memory’s in the hill country wind
and it hurts to know that I can’t go back again
it’s a hard road to go
down to San Antone
these days things just ain’t the same
and every time I know
there ain’t nobody home
I wish I could, but I can’t stay
I wish I could’ve seen it one last time
before you left this life of ours behind
and your memory’s in the hill country wind
it still hurts to know that I can’t go back again
it’s a hard road to go
down to San Antone
these days things just ain’t the same
and every time I know
there ain’t nobody home
I wish I could, but I can’t stay
I wish I could, but I can't stay

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P
Kelsey Waldon’s latest is full of gritty, gutsy country-rock that draws on the genre’s traditions but adds razor-edged attitude. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 20, 2019
Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
