Haybaled 04:31
lyrics
You’ve gone and left without a trace Feels like you’ve kicked me in the face Well now make no mistake honey baby Cause you only want what you can take Chorus: You only want me when you’re lonely Any old blind dog can see You only want me when you’re lonely But sometimes you hypnotize me Sometimes you hypnotize me Someone needs to put you in your place All of the fun is in the chase I think I made a big mistake last night When I went back to your place Chorus It's time to roll in the hay what do you say This barn is filled with the haze There’s nothing but coals left in the fireplace It's time to roll in the hay

One Less Wife 03:13
lyrics
I set out from Ypsilanti, left my home that two room shanty Headed for the country of the gold My daddy said now don’t you go with that woman son she’ll rob your soul Should have listened to my daddy and now I know Panned for gold and made a life, earned some dough and found a wife The hard time ahead I didn’t know Who would have thought when we’d get back She’d take that kitchen knife and find my back Should have listened to my daddy and it goes to show Chorus Don’t treat me like a fool Don’t tell me to believe in things you know aint true Don’t think that you’ve won, because you’re the one who’s gone And please don’t treat me like such a fool Chorus Now I’m back in the Mitten State One less wife and life is great Traveled around the country and now I know Take what you’re told with a grain of salt She’ll take your heart and then she’ll walk Telling lies as she walks right out the door Telling lies as she walks right out the door

So the Story Goes 04:46
lyrics
From the lakes of Pontchartrain To the lakes of Coeur d’Alene To the lakes of Michigan Im going home again Which way did she go To find her way home I know we must be close I think I see the shore Chorus So the Story Goes About two lovers about each other So the Story Goes You’re more precious than gold Never fade from my memory Live a river flows to the sea This feeling inside of me From underneath the roots of the trees Like a perfect skipping stone Trying to find its way home I’ll never be alone Cause this love is all I know Chorus So the story goes You’re more precious than gold So the Story goes of love waiting to unfold So the Story goes My love I’ve never told So the Story Goes You’re more precious than gold

Whiskey Before Breakfast 03:30
lyrics
Early one morning before the sun could shine I was walking down the street not feeling so fine Saw two men with a bottle between them And this is the song that I heard them singing Chorus Lord protect us, saint preserve us We’ve been drinking whiskey before breakfast Passed by the steps where they were sittin’ Couldn’t believe how drunk they were gettin' Said old man you’ve been drinking long Long enough to be singing this song Chorus Passed me the bottle said take a little sip It felt so good, I just couldn’t quit Took a little more, next thing I knew There were three of us singing this tune Chorus One by one everybody came down Heard a ruckus and they all came around Pretty soon all the streets were a ringing Sound of the people laughing and singing Chorus

about

Just as the lush acappella vocal harmonies drop seamlessly into the crash of the drums on the first song of their first release, Dragon Wagon is off and running like a river that has finally broken though its restraining levee. Filled with surprises at every turn, their self-titled EP swirls with an intoxicating and entertaining brew of straight-talk storytelling interwoven with majestically composed banjo, mandolin and fiddle accompaniment that harkens back to another era.

From the first, Dragon Wagon charges directly into the rollicking and sexually suggestive "Haybaled," and they don't slow up until the final notes of the pole-barn party anthem 'Whiskey Before Breakfast" fades into silence. Fans of the rippling interplay between bluegrass banjo, mountain mandolin and a dexterously played fiddle will be especially satisfied with the instrumentals, 'Sophie's Start' and 'Indian Summer'.

The six song EP by Dragon Wagon is a refreshing example of the power and originality artists deliver when they are given creative freedom.
