Out in the Black Hills I hear the wind moan Suspicious neighbors hide Fire trash and throwing stones That’s where I am I’m in the Broken Heartland Out in the Midwest Big trucks keep rollin on I let my mind drift Kids fighting to belong Come take my hand m in the Broken Heartland Out in the black hills Generations lived and died It’s just a ghost town Can’t say we never tried That’s where I am I’m in the Broken Heartland Come take my hand I’m in the Broken Heartland That’s where I am, come take my hand So far from home, I’m in the Broken Heartland

Had a friend uptown Got a sick feeling about Had a friend downtown Got a sad feeling about You called me up Like an angel when I was down Take my hand it’s alright You always liked the dark side of town You said you’re cool Last time I saw you You said you’ll make it through Last time I saw you Heart of gold and a head full of doubt You said you’re cool Last time I saw you You said you’ll make it through Last time I saw you Last time I saw you Last time I saw you

You’re a curse But not the first You were bad But I was worse You look so sad, but act so tough On the outside On the outside On the outside Let ‘em talk We’ll take the wheel Diamond skies Up on the hill Partners in crime I’ll wait for you On the outside On the outside On the outside You look so sad, but act so tough You’re my partner in crime, I’ll wait for you On the outside On the outside On the outside

Bayou Moon 03:26
Got a black cat bone Got a Jack on fire I’m in the dirty swamp I’m in the bog and mire Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon Down by the painted church Next to an old headstone I saw you layin’ there She said “you better start drinkin, I don’t want to be alone.” Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon My aim is true bayou moon Got a black cat bone Got a Jack on fire I’m in the dirty swamp I’m in the bog and mire Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon Hoodoo voodoo Underneath the Bayou Moon I’m with my girl and the Bayou Moon

Alone on the street Trouble with the heat Take a drive downtown Got someone to met Blue is how I feel Out of my head Behind the Wheel Along on the town This city’s getting me down Ain’t nobody threatenin’ me Don’t let the kick you around Cool is what you deal I’m burning out Behind the Wheel ¬Sleepin’ in the lost and found I know this ain’t your kinda town C’mon Alone on the street And I’ve got time to kill Out of my head behind the wheel Well c’mon Well c’mon Well c’mon Well c’mon

Pain, pain In my heart I don’t know where it starts Ball and chain Hounds of Hell We’ve got stories to tell Train, train Down the tracks I don’t know If she’s comin’ back Hand of fate Wishing well We’ve got stories to tell

Hard luck Jim and Bad Time John Where’d you go wrong? Jim he got caught, John he kept walkin’ Movin’ along You got your mother’s eyes and your daddy’s arm Beat doing chores down on the farm What kind of trouble you get in Hard luck Jim Hard luck Jim and Bad Time John Where’d you go wrong? John he got nicked, now he’s in the big house Sing a sad song Got blood on his hands, but he don’t know how You thought that you were smart, well look where you are now You better get on home where you belong Bad Time John Alright Hard luck Jim and Bad Time John Hard luck Jim and Bad Time John You better get on home where you belong Hard luck Jim and Bad Time John

Runnin' Kind 03:12
Out of my mind I’m a Runnin Kind Rather have what’s yours Then to keep what’s mine I’m a Runnin’ Kind I’m a Runnin’ Kind Out of my sight Never did what’s right Put away your knives There ain’t no fight I’m a Runnin’ Kind I’m a Runnin’ Kind

about

The Hangmen continue to charge forward with the momentum of a runaway train on their 7th studio album, Stories To Tell. Bridging the gap between The Gun Club and the Rolling Stones, Stories smashes together lead singer Bryan Small's lurid love songs with unsparing, unsentimental blasts that shine a menacing and penetrating light into the dark and seedy corners of life.

From the melodic “Midnight Riders” to the haunting “On The Outside,” The Hangmen deliver an album with a simplicity and depth of songwriting reminiscent of Neil Young and Tom Petty.

Longtime Hangmen fan Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith, Beck, X) stepped in to produce two tracks, “On The Outside” and “Last Time I Saw You,” a tribute to Rontrose Heathman, the former Hangmen and Supersuckers guitar player who passed away in 2020. The album also includes a rousing cover of CCR’s “Sinister Purpose.”

Stories To Tell will be released worldwide on September 8, 2023. A month-long European tour commences September 13 in Paris.
