Biography:
Singer/songwriter Matt King lives in a world of contrasts. One inhabited simultaneously by conspicuous consumption and creeping poverty, sprawling suburbs and decaying rural communities, by embattled corporate chieftains and quietly struggling workaday Americans. King walks a winding path between these extremes, bringing a photographer's eye to his vivid musical portraits. Yet his lens is not given to the cinematic fantasy and marketing hyperbole that has spilled into seemingly every corner of society.

BURYIN' BONES BY THE DOZEN
Matt King
Album: Hard Country
[Intro]
A A
A
I was going through old skeletons in my closet
They were pourin' out of my heart, like a leaky faucet
D D7
If any one of those memories ever catch up with me
A E A
There ain't no tellin' what pr ice it'll be costin'
A
If she finds out about Amy in Atlanta
Or the two-timin', two-steppin' trouble from Texarkana
D D7
All the parties in The Pines - the fightin' and drinkin' sh ine
A E A
She might think I'm a one-night extravag anza
D C A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
[Solo]
A
Every time the telephone rings, I get a little nervous
So, at the end of the month, I go and I change my service
D D7
And the whole town knows my truck, so when I go to work, I take the bus
A E A
Spend half of my time lockin' doors, and closin' curtians
D C A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
[Fiddle Solo]
D C A
I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E A
Yes I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
