about

HOLDING TANK is another ripper we have always play at live shows since it lures people straight out to the dance floor. This version is with a lot of the original band members—Mandy, Kelli, Jascha, Shaun, and we recruited Ansel Foxley (Patti Fiasco, Green Street Majority) to come back up the mountain to help us out on resonator. “I’ll love you till I sober up”…yeah, I guess—love is still complicated. Robert Kirkwood and friends pulled together a cool Buckhorn Bar-based video on this one: youtu.be/v4XGz017-Cg - if you know anything about Laramie, you know the Buckhorn. And if you do not know the Buckhorn, well….shhhh.

lyrics

Holding Tank
J Shogren (ASCAP, 2012)

Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink
Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink

She likes to sleep
when the sun comes up
Just roll her over
And butter her up

I’d like to live
just one more day
let her sleep till
She’s wide awake

Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink
Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink

I will (I will)
I will love you (I will love you)
I will love you till I sober up

Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink
Take me down to the holding tank
Just to think I wanted one more drink

She likes to make
her biscuits in bed
Half a pound butter
& a bowl of lead

I suppose it’s fine when
She curses my name
Just let me sleep till
I’m wide awake

Take me down to the holding tank
just to think I wanted one more drink
take me down to the holding tank
just to think I wanted one more drink

I will (I will)
I will love you (I will love you)
I will love you till I sober up

I will (I will)
I will love you (I will love you)
I will love you till I sober up

Take me down to the holding tank
Take me down to the holding tank
