Biography:
Simon Joyner (born 1971) is an American singer-songwriter. As well as his solo work, he has collaborated with a number of artists including John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.
Joyner was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but lived in Omaha, Nebraska most of his life. The geography, mythology, and personal connection to both the South and the Midwest act as shadow characters throughout his large body of work–swallowing some characters, emboldening others, always reminding us that place is much more than mere scenery.

Intro : C
C G
You were up to your necklace in drunk friends and wreckage
C
when the New Year
G
Stepped out of the past through the rose colored glass
C
and dropped you off here
F C F
With a broken kazoo, a faded marijuana tattoo, and confetti in your hair
F* C
Now you're Jesus' age, but you've only been betrayed by the calendar
G
Your mother remarried
after your father was buried
C
in this sailor's suit
G
Now she sells real estate,
he floats in his grave,
C
and neither has much to say to you
F
So you follow a cloud
C
to a Betsy Ross shroud and see the wind try to rip it in two
F*
But it don't make you feel any better
when you're under the weather
C
and it's hanging over you
F
It's fading, It's fading
C F
So what are you going to do now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
F
But you're thinking of throwing in the towel
C F D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on
C
G
Mystery is bandaged
with routine, Plaster-of-Paris,
C
and mosquito net
G
While paint thinner blades
C
strip the windshield of salt cake and sunset
F
Someone once said
the humble would stumbled
C F
onto something long forgotten and ravaged,
F*
But your dreams soak the pillow
C
just as a thimble of rain feeds the cactus
G
So drain your bruises,
cut your scapegoats loose
C
and confess ignorance
G
Pull a metaphor out of a river
C
or a door and add your fingerprints
F
You could always go west
just like the rest
C F
and bury your head into the hot sand
F*
Or you could dust your broom
C
and dissolve the moon on your eyelids
F
It's fading, It's fading
C F
So what are you going to do now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
F
But you're thinking of throwing in the towel
C F D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on
Enjoy.
