SNUGGLIN' WITH MY DEMONS
(Kurt Fortmeyer)
Dad Zone Music ASCAP
I'd been that good guy way to long followed every rule
Holdin' back instead of actin' like a full-grown fool
When bad intentions came to call I firmly stood my ground
'Til one day I said screw it all and I turned my life around
I told my better angels they could go **** up a rope
And not come back unless they brought a sack of killer dope
I'm smokin' packs of cigarettes and drinkin' quarts of beer
Snugglin' with my demons and I kinda like it here
Now everything that's bad for me becomes my comfort food
And from time to time I take a pill to elevate my mood
I'm coveting my neighbor's **** and things that I can't have
I bathe myself in misery like it's medicated salve
Since I told my better angels they could go **** up a rope
And not come back unless they brought a sack of killer dope
I'm smokin' packs of cigarettes and drinkin' quarts of beer
Snugglin' with my demons and I kinda like it here
As long as I've got gas to burn I won't hit the breaks
'Cause I've still got a lot to learn from my own mistakes
Yeah I told my better angels they could go **** up a rope
And not come back unless they brought a sack of killer dope
I'm smokin' packs of cigarettes and drinkin' quarts of beer
Snugglin' with my demons and I kinda like it here
I'm snugglin' with my demons and I kinda like it here

Trey is one of my favorite songwriters, and the pickers he gathered together for this project take a bluegrass backseat to nobody...plus he cut one of my songs (but I'm not the least bit biased). Kurt Fortmeyer
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
