Biography:
He's a real cowboy with deep Texas roots, but 28-year-old Tommy Shane Steiner is just as comfortable in Hollywood hanging out on the famed Sunset Strip as he is at home in Austin working cattle with the rest of the family. “After seeing me it always surprises people when they hear me sing,” Tommy laughs. “They're always like, 'Wow. That's really country.'”
It's country sounding indeed, but with a self-described “dry vocal” and plenty of steel guitars with a little bit of banjo in the mix.

F Dm7 Bb Csus C F Dm7 Bb Dm F Csus Dm Bb(add9)
[Verse]
F Csus
Long legged shadows, Mississippi sunset,
Dm Bb(add9)
She was standing like a candle that hadn't been burned yet.
F Csus
The wind was blowing clouds like ashes,
Dm7 Bb(add9)
Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches.
F Dm
I can see those cotton sheets dancin',
Bb C
On her momma's clothesline in my head.
F Dm7
From my lips a lucky strike was danglin',
Bb C
The day was dying in a sea of red.
Dm Bb
Then came the night, warm and dark,
F C
Draggin' its chains across our hearts.
Dm7 Bb
The moon was full, the grass was wet,
F C
Making us scream, making us sweat.
Dm Bb(add9)
Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right,
F Csus
Then came the night.
F Csus
There was a time when love was a flower,
Dm7 Bb(add9)
Now it's a vine that's climbin' up the tower.
F Csus
And the river just rolls past the garden,
Dm Bb
Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened.
F Dm7
I can see that tired white flag flying,
Bb C
I can hear that ringing mission bell.
F Dm7
Telling of the innocence that's dying,
Bb Csus C
A sound that I remember oh so well.
Dm Bb
Then came the night, warm and dark,
F C
Draggin' its chains across our hearts.
Dm7 Bb
The moon was full, the grass was wet,
F C
Making us scream, making us sweat.
Dm Bb
Making us cling, making us claw,
F C
Making us rise, making us fall.
Dm Bb
Breath on breath, skin on skin,
F C
Can't go back there again.
Dm7 Bb(add9)
Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right,
F Csus
Then came the night.
Dm Bb(add9)
Yeah, then came the night.
F Csus
Then came the night,
Dm Bb
Oh yeah, yeah.
