Prodigal Daughter - Nikki Speake
Kissed a lot of misters, but only loved one.
Went back to kissin’ when the love was gone.
Prodigal Daughter, You’ve been around the world shakin’ your tambourine.
You’ve had a good time, going all those places that I’ll never see.
Now, did you find yourself, or did you just find yourself alone?
I’ve had a good time, wearing out this heart on my sleeve.
Too much time drinkin’ and goin’ all those places that I shouldn’t be,
but now I’ve found it’s high time to come home.
I’ve worn the floor down, walking back and forth over you.
I’ve torn my hair out, praying to the Son and to the moon.
You are my one true love, the flesh of my bone, come on home.
I’ve had a good run, tearing through this world on my own.
I have known love, but Mama, your girl’s done grown old.
I am lost and found, a sinner to the bone.
Kissed a lot of misters, but only loved one.
Went back to kissin’ when the love was gone.
Prodigal Daughter, you’ve been around the world shakin’ your tambourine.
Now, did you find yourself, or did you just find yourself alone?

Mamas Should Know - Nikki Speake
We swirl around in an endless space. Just points of light in a beautiful place.
Into this world we are thrown; without a dream, without a home.
And if you die before we wake, don’t leave it all up to us to figure it out alone.
Mamas should know what to leave when they go, if they’re not ready to fly.
What to reap, what to sow, what to leave for the crow.
Write it down, so we’ll know.
We walk around in an empty daze. Our voices lost, or were they just replaced?
Into this world we will grow, maybe we’ll find a dream to find it gone.
And if you die before we wake, don’t leave it all up to us to figure it out alone.
Mamas should know what to leave when they go. If they’re not ready to fly.
What to reap, what to sow, what to leave for the crow.
How to laugh, how to cry, how to stand tall without too much pride.
Write it down, so we’ll know.

Nikki & the Phantom Callers Atlanta, Georgia
Nikki & the Phantom Callers’ debut LP, Everybody’s Going To Hell (But You and Me). The 11 track collection of boot-stomping alt-country & jangly indie-rock weaves a series of stories exploring a beautiful darkness in stark contrast to their predominantly sunny tonality; a Southern Gothic study of grief soundtracked by country-tinged ‘60s pop. ... more
