about

"Like I Never Knew You" is the first single off of Mighty Joe Nolan's new LP, THE WICKED. The song is a melancholy homecoming, and an up-tempo confrontation with the stranger in the mirror. It's bareknuckle bluegrass meets punk-a-billy, and about as close as Nolan ever gets to his Americountry peers in Nashville.

lyrics

Put a penny on the railroad track
The ones that leave here don’t turn back
Fast steel sounds frightening
Hot copper smells like lightning

And I don’t think I know the way
No I won’t be coming back today
Lately, I can see right through you
It’s like I never knew you

See the snake shine in the sandbox
Hear the hornets in the hollihocks
You go to a school of hard knocks
You’re still not ready for the big shocks

(Chorus)

Hear coyote in the barnyard
See the scarecrow draw the dead man’s card
Pray your way into a zone of zen,
but you can’t go home again

(Chorus)
