Biografia:
Sam Riggs wears a legacy of honest country, makes good rock, writes lyrics that matter and straps on a stage presence second to none.” -- Ray Wylie Hubbard
Receiving a hand up in this business of music from the likes of Ray Wylie Hubbard is no small accomplishment, and that mentorship – and sometimes harsh instruction – was not lost on Sam Riggs, who has had the fortunate opportunity to meander through Wylie’s cerebral countryside over the last few years.

Angola's Lament - Sam Riggs and the Night People
Dm G
Dm
Angola ain't no place to be
Dm
It's for the lost who once were free
C
Fields of fear stretched far and wide
Dm
And razor wire goes to the sky
Dm
I make my round to the fields all day
Dm
While the prisoners work their sins away
C G
Shotgun perched upon my leg
Dm
On a sixteen hands tall thorough bred
Dm
They sing ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm G
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
C G
Devil holds the key
Dm
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm G
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
C G
But to get down on your knees
Dm
Desperation in a troubled man
Dm
Spreads like poison in this land
C G
I've seen it all from this saddle son
Dm
Yeah God rest yer soul if you try to run
Dm
Oh now ash to ash and dust to dust
Dm
You're here because yer dreams went bust
C G
Just put that pick axe in the ground
Dm
Keep on moanin' that lonesome sound
Dm
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
C G
Devil holds the key
Dm
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
C G
But to get down on your knees
[Instrumental]
Dm C G Dm C G
Dm (strum once)
When the cold wind blew through that old screen door
You didn't hear their screams no more
Blood on the walls and across the floor
Lord, what did ya do?
Dm
You drug ‘em down to that old oak tree
Dm
Dug a hole ‘neath the tire swing
Dm
Wiped a tear threw in the ring
C G
And a sawed off shotgun too
Dm
You let ‘em down in the cold hard ground
Dm
Side by side the way you found ‘em
Dm
Fallin' rain didn't make a sound
C G
That's when you knew
Dm
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Devil holds the key
Dm
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Dm
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
C G
But to get down on your knees
