Margo Price - Too Stoned To Cry (feat. Billy Strings)

It was such a joy to work with Billy on this song. He really nailed the vocals and laid down a beautiful lead. My buddy Beau Bedford and I had been in the studio together working on an Orville Peck track, and I asked him to produce this single for me. He put together a really great band – Beau and I, plus my husband Jeremy Ivey played acoustic, Aksel Coe on drums, Misa Arriaga on Bass, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, Joey McClellan on electric. Once we got Billy to add his guitar and singing, I knew this song was gonna be a special recording. Listen: https://i.margoprice.net/toostonedtocry

Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Margo Price]
As lonely as the days are long
As dark as the night bird's song
Strange way of livin' has bled my heart dry
I'm lonesome, but I'm too stoned to cry

[Verse 2: Billy Strings]
My clothes are all ragged and worn
Like a sailor that's caught in the worst kind of storm
The water keeps risin'
Oh, and I'm getting by
I keep walkin' but I'm too stoned to fly

[Chorus: Margo Price & Billy Strings]
There's whiskey and wine
And pills for the pain
Fast easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walkin' the line between hell bent and high
I ain't happy, just too stoned to cry

[Verse 3: Margo Price]
Now I'm livin' from town to town
I've always been lost, I ain't ever been found
They said Jesus could save me
But that was a lie
I keep tryin' but I'm too stoned to die
I keep tryin' but I'm too stoned to die

[Chorus: Margo Price & Billy Strings]
There's whiskey and wine
And pills for the pain
Fast easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walkin' the line between hell bent and high
I ain't happy, just too stoned to cry

[Outro: Margo Price]
No, I ain't happy, just too stoned to cry
