Biography:
Sons of Bill are a country rock band from Charlottesville, Virginia, that formed in the fall of 2005. At its core are brothers James, Sam, and Abe Wilson, the sons of Bill Wilson, the source of the band's name. The brothers returned to Virginia from very different paths in life to form a band based in the country music they grew up learning from their father while bringing along their interests in rock and jazz to influence their sound.

Joey's Arm - Sons of Bill
G C9 G
Joey's arm has two tattoos
G C9 G
The stars and bars and "born to lose"
D C9 G
With glassy eyes he waits for rain
D C9 G
Says it reminds him of his wedding day
G C9 G
And when you drive through Cumberland in the dark
G C9 G
And you watch the woods and you see the sparks
D C9 G
Roll down the window and hear the sound
D C9
of broken glass and coming down
CHORUS
G D G C9
And the dirt underneath the methadone and concrete
G D C9
Has gotta be more than dust bones
G D
'Cause the south ain't gonna rise again
G C9
but we're holding out for Jesus
Em D C
or so they say on AM radio
G C9 G C9 G
G C9 G
When you don't fit in at church or bars
G C9 G
you bite your lip and you hide the scars
D C9 G
Pass the freeway out of town
D C9
for broken glass and coming down
REPEAT CHORUS
G D C9
Won't someone turn on AM radio?
