lyrics
They don't make 'em like they used to
Working wages ain't shit anymore
Well I once was a kid
Now I'm married and slow
But you look as sweet as you ever did
Grumpiness runs in my family
We like to live life underneath the clouds
And deal with life
Just one day at a time
But you look as sweet as you ever did
I've got one knuckle down
Three to go
But I'm not gonna make it
Through that kitchen door
To you
Working wages ain't shit anymore
Well I once was a kid
Now I'm married and slow
But you look as sweet as you ever did
Grumpiness runs in my family
We like to live life underneath the clouds
And deal with life
Just one day at a time
But you look as sweet as you ever did
I've got one knuckle down
Three to go
But I'm not gonna make it
Through that kitchen door
To you

Honest Life
by Courtney Marie Andrewssupported by 13 fans who also own “You Look as Sweet as You Ever Did”
Courtney has really delivered a gem in this record. This collection of songs feels tight and cohesive. Highlights for me are "How Quickly Your Heart Mends" and "Table For One". What has always struck me about Courtney's music is that the melodies sound like the lyrics feel; from the arrangements to the delivery, you won't be disappointed!

Arguably OK
by TK & The Holy Know-Nothingssupported by 11 fans who also own “You Look as Sweet as You Ever Did”
Just a really solid countrified indie folk rock album from top to bottom, in the vein of those early Deer Tick albums.
