Eric Church dropte afgelopen week de eerste single van zijn aankomende album Desperate Man, de plaat zal op 5 oktober uitgebracht worden.

De song is geschreven door Eric en Ray Wylie Hubbard, die na Mr. Misunderstood weer samen werkte op Desperate Man met producer Jay Joyce.

It’s been a while,” Eric in een videoboodschap. “I just want to say I have missed you. I have good news . . . the album is done, and we are back. It’s called Desperate Man and the first single is called ‘Desperate Man.’

Het nieuwe album is de opvolger van Mr. Misunderstood uit 2015, welke in 2016 de CMA Album of the Year won en de nummer 1hit Record Year bevatte.

I’ve seen the Joshua tree
Got down on my knees
Thru the virgin love of a prayer
Walked thru glass barefooted
Strolled across the Devil’s hot coals
I’ve tried everything I swear

 

But hey (hey), what can I say
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
What can I say
I’m just a desperate man

 

Fortune teller told me
No more last chances
You’ve got no future at all
Woman, I ain’t listening
Black-hearted gypsy
Hang a crucifix to a bedroom wall

 

Hey (hey), what can I say
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
What can I say
I’m just a desperate man

 

Hey I’m a half-cocked, full tilt
Scarred hands to the hilt
Don’t push me grown ass man
Yeah flashing light caution
Careful where you cross son
Till she comes back again

 

Hey (hey), what can I say
I’m a desperate man
Oh hey (hey)
What can I say
I’m just a desperate man

 

Oh hey (hey), I said hey (hey)
Wow what can I say
I’m a desperate man
Oh hey (hey)
I said hey (hey)
I’m just a desperate man

 

Grown ass man…
