THIS DAMN TOWN (LYRICS)
I didn't know where to go
Didn’t know what I should see
So I left town
As soon as you left me
Tried to find myself
Down in Tennessee
But you got away
With the best of me
But now I do my best
And I'm barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin' every night
And now I do my best
And I’m barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin' every night
Thought I'd get by on my own
Thought I'd be what I want to be
Until you opened my eyes
And you made me see
I'll just play these cards
'til my time and money's gone
And I'll leave this world
With some simple songs
But now I do my best
And I’m barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin’ every night
And now I do my best
And I'm barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin’ every night
An Ohio singer/songwriter with a soulful, rootsy blend of country, rock, and folk, Arlo McKinley debuted in 2014 with his self-titled album. In 2020, he came to wider public attention with Die Midwestern, released on the late John Prine's Oh Boy label. Two years later, he issued This Mess We're In.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, McKinley first began singing at age eight in the choir at his family's Baptist church. Growing up, he imbibed his Kentucky-born father's LPs, listening to artists like Hank Williams and George Jones, as well as Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. By his teens, he was playing guitar and singing in punk bands. However, in his twenties he began writing his own songs, gravitating toward rootsy country and soul sounds, mixing it with his varied rock influences. A troubled period involving drugs waylaid his career and found him moving away from music. For several years, he drove a truck delivering tuxedos between Cincinnati and Detroit. He eventually returned to songwriting and in 2014 released his debut album, Arlo McKinley & the Lonesome Sound. Hitting the road, he gained wider attention touring alongside roots luminaries like Tyler Childers, John Moreland, Jason Isbell, and Justin Townes Earle. In March 2020, he became the final artist signed by legendary singer/songwriter John Prine's Oh Boy Records label just before Prine's death that April. In August 2020, McKinley released his sophomore album and Oh Boy debut, Die Midwestern, recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. 2022 saw the release of McKinley's third long-player, the inward-looking This Mess We're In.
