Chris Jeffries Homeless Romantic - Naked and Cryin'
My whole worth and purpose
on this earth's surface
since birth has been to die
we might turn to rust
or disintegrate to dust
but there will be no time to wonder why
when the whole you been digging in
you are comfortable living in
you will be as far away as you have ever been
when things never change
you get addicted to pain
when do you begin to see you'll never win
but i'm not trying
to worry about how i'm dying
i'll go out like I came in
naked and crying
naked and crying
naked and crying
when the road that you travel on
leads you to babylon
paradise will fill your eyes
my home is the globe
with my wheels on the road
and the stars are shining bright on me tonight
i've been asking and guessing
the answers to the questions
that don't exist and probably never will
but the places i've been and
the ones in my dreams
make it hard for me to sit still
but i'm not trying
to worry about how i'm dying
i'll go out like I came in
naked and crying
naked and crying
naked and crying
I wish that I was made to last
just like a blade of grass
i'll probably find what it is I need right here
in this big heap of trash
that consists of my past and tomorrow is the only
thing we ever had to fear
song sing me a song
because soon i'll be gone
something that celebrates our great escape
life is too long
but I might be wrong
that's just something I say when the sky turns grey
but i'm not trying
to worry about how i'm dying
i'll go out like I came in
naked and crying
naked and crying
naked and crying
The Homeless Romantic is a revolving cast of musicians who help bring my songwriting to life. The music is a disjointed poetic look the life of a 21st century vagabond.
Hopping freight trains, dumpster diving, and various forms of petty crime in order to continue travelling and living. The disappointment of a traditional lifestyle, the rejection of everything conformist and the experience over 10 years, going from apathy to empathy.
“If Lou Reed had lived in the ’30s and had an affinity for moonshine instead of heroin, he would sound dangerously close to the delicate rootsiness of what Chris Jeffries is creating. Combining the swagger of Mr. Reed with the bad-luck living and roaring fingerpicking of folk stalwarts like Lead Belly, Jeffries creates a sound that could be plucked straight out of your granddaddy’s Crosley. This three-song, self-titled EP also conjures images of Chris Adolf’s pre-Bad Weather California project, the Love Letter Band, which, like Jeffries himself, was stripped down, slightly psychotic and teetering on the verge of its own classification. Although Jeffries calls on a myriad of influences, he is close to creating a sound that is uniquely his own — and right at home on any chain gang.”
