Hey man, I'm a Security Officer at the Casino. I need to be honest and say that no one brings in a crowd like you do. I usually stand at the Main Door at the Security Check point and cringe at the bands that normally play. You're incredible man, keep it up! Life time fan!
I knew this kid. Sad what drugs do to a person..how they wreak havod on your life..R.I.P, Nick. I thank God every minute of every day for my my beautiful children, my wonderful husband, and my clean and SOBER life!!! I have been clean since Nov 19th, 2009..thank you, God!!!
I have so much reverence for a person who can put so many of the deepest feeling's any person can have... Mary in Millinocket sending blessings and good fortune upon you... you are a very deep and inspirational man . You have the " Gift " of making peop;e feel like you are a " Peer " meaning ... Been where they might have been or are at now. You have the ability to inspire.... Love ur originals .....
Nice very nice. Great voice and songwriting. It's sad, the same thing goes on here downsouth...of you. What is this world coming to. Thanx for speaking up.
This is a great song man. I have been all the way down and was able to climb back up and get my life back under control. This song speaks volumes to me and I would think to everyone that has been all the way down and been able to climb back up. You have some major talent man. I wish you the best. I hope you make it far in the industry. Keep reaching for the dream and one day you will achieve it.
Great song love it, its hits me so much knew nick well grew up with him and its so hard to grow up around here when ur into drugs and theres nothing here for kids its so sad!!
Hey Chris I can’t find your solo version of this song I’d sit and listen to it all day long and now I can’t find it they took it off my likes list and playlists by far that was my number 1 tune
Chris. I usually listen to ur dancing in the dark version or your crossroads version when I tune into your channel. Btw both r remarkable. But I ran into this today... I really enjoyed it. Good lyrics and pace.
Saw you playing at Chummies Bar the other night. We stumbled (literally) on the bar by hearing your music. Good beer and great music are always magical. You should come to NJ or NY. You'll have some friends.
Lyrics "Glass in her hand, she ponders and paces Plotting escape from rocks and hard places She says 'Nick, it ain't always been this hard I'm tired of this living, lets take what's ours' And Nick is just a boy in an old man's town Schooling didn't suit him, so he dropped right out He looks at her now all ragged and sick He pulls her in close and says 'we'll get rich quick' And it looks like now they're headed all the way down Now they've both been scratching since they turned sixteen Picking that cotton just to hush those screams Times running short and lucks running thin And Nick's got a gun and a greedy man's grin And there's a little old lady all skin and bones He got a tip, she's got a script and she's living alone So, they pay a little visit and they get away clean Nobody got hurt, nobody got seen And it looks like now they're headed all the way down... Down where the angels don't dare to dance Across the cold river of a heart's last chance Singing with the devil to a pale half moon Howling with the wolves now a desperate tune Down at the bottom of a wishlist well The aimless roam, the shameless dwell Fallen like a feather with a silent shout Now they're headed all the way down... Way out in the woods where the Eastbrook rours Nicks got his eyes on a generous score We'll get in, we'll get out, we'll get out of these sticks Out to California with a golden fix But at the house at the end of the long dirt road There's a man whose hands have never been slow And he's been dreaming of a time before he got so deep Between the money and the pills, he can't get no sleep And it looks like now they're headed all the way down... So its knock knock knock & the screen door swung She's standing in the moonlight lookin' so young She says she's broke down and she needs a lift Nick's around the corner with a gun on his hip But when the shots come ringing, they ring too loud Three holes in his jacket Nick's on the ground She looks at him now all covered in blood She pulls him in close, her one true love And it looks like now they're headed all the way down Down where the angels don't dare to dance Across the cold river of a heart's last chance Singing with the devil to a pale half moon Howling with the wolves now a desperate tune Down at the bottom of a wishlist well The aimless roam, the shameless dwell Fallen like a feather with a silent shout Now they're headed all the way down..."

Lyrics
"Glass in her hand, she ponders and paces
Plotting escape from rocks and hard places
She says 'Nick, it ain't always been this hard
I'm tired of this living, lets take what's ours'
And Nick is just a boy in an old man's town
Schooling didn't suit him, so he dropped right out
He looks at her now all ragged and sick
He pulls her in close and says 'we'll get rich quick'
And it looks like now they're headed all the way down
Now they've both been scratching since they turned sixteen
Picking that cotton just to hush those screams
Times running short and lucks running thin
And Nick's got a gun and a greedy man's grin
And there's a little old lady all skin and bones
He got a tip, she's got a script and she's living alone
So, they pay a little visit and they get away clean
Nobody got hurt, nobody got seen
And it looks like now they're headed all the way down...
Down where the angels don't dare to dance
Across the cold river of a heart's last chance
Singing with the devil to a pale half moon
Howling with the wolves now a desperate tune
Down at the bottom of a wishlist well
The aimless roam, the shameless dwell
Fallen like a feather with a silent shout
Now they're headed all the way down...
Way out in the woods where the Eastbrook rours
Nicks got his eyes on a generous score
We'll get in, we'll get out, we'll get out of these sticks
Out to California with a golden fix
But at the house at the end of the long dirt road
There's a man whose hands have never been slow
And he's been dreaming of a time before he got so deep
Between the money and the pills, he can't get no sleep
And it looks like now they're headed all the way down...
So its knock knock knock & the screen door swung
She's standing in the moonlight lookin' so young
She says she's broke down and she needs a lift
Nick's around the corner with a gun on his hip
But when the shots come ringing, they ring too loud
Three holes in his jacket
Nick's on the ground
She looks at him now all covered in blood
She pulls him in close, her one true love
And it looks like now they're headed all the way down
Down where the angels don't dare to dance
Across the cold river of a heart's last chance
Singing with the devil to a pale half moon
Howling with the wolves now a desperate tune
Down at the bottom of a wishlist well
The aimless roam, the shameless dwell
Fallen like a feather with a silent shout
Now they're headed all the way down..."
