Cory BrananAbout
The third track from the 2017 album Adios. The song finds Cory’s trademark wit and wordplay colliding with a more tempered, E Street Band style groove, complete with an extended saxaphone solo by Robbie Crowell.

Blacksburg Annotated
She’s been emptying rounds in a dark bar
She’s been getting around in a parked car
You wanna know exactly how she feels?
You gotta walk to hell and back in heels
Baby’s been to hell and back
She never left Blacksburg
These mountain town bars are all bare bones

Baby just looking for a little release
Love’s the drug that she distrusts the least
But you take whatever takes you back in Blacksburg
There was a time this town could never have had her
Now she never minds
And it never matters
She says this endless night feels indescribably
As empty as them inside of me
But if I can’t feel good again
I’ll be damned if I feel this pain I’m in
You just see who’s standing after the stars collapse
On Blacksburg
That’s her emptying rounds in a dark bar
Getting around in a parked car
