    Just who is Shinyribs? It’s a sprawling nine, sometimes 10-piece cast, but ultimately it is the funky brainchild of Kevin Russell, who grew up in Beaumont, TX and Shreveport, LA, the cradle of the swamp pop and bayou R&B sounds that drip off his fingers like honey and hot sauce.

Love becomes more than it is Honey & salt Oh, sparks & fizz Love is helium, not the balloon We've become more than We thought we'd be Ain't it crazy baby, just you and me Drunk on the perfume of these blooms The very thing that lifts the wing And makes the meadow cling to the dew Gifts to bring, songs to sing Side by side until death do In a world so opposed to Simply belonging I simply belong to you The very thing that makes a ring Need a knuckle to slide onto The very thing that lifts the wing Side by side until death do In a world so opposed to Simply belonging I simply belong to you In a world so opposed to Simply belonging I simply belong to you I simply belong to you I simply belong to you

I take it you shut your gate Don't have nothing to do with anyone anymore You put aside your worldly affairs To arouse only yourself forevermore It's not worth so much hassle To follow the lines that they define Oh it's not worth the aggravation To always see deception in their design Well, the book that you wrote it sounded familiar From the start, dim and dull You betrayed your cultivation with a mind too tempted Tangled and full You mistook the moment as meaningless Abject failure for a lull Instant enlightenment can look like genius It's always cheap and plentiful So don't go around feeling inferior Thinking you're less of a man People's wisdom is meager And they're always eager to tell you they don't give a damn For all you knew you had nothing to prove Just a move and a groove and a new feeling Oh, experience teaches the heart and It preaches from the start of a mind that's Grown uneasy Your soul is slow from the things you know But these people all just think your sleazy If you don't still your thoughts You will always be confused So far ahead falling behind Torn and faded, rare and used If you could simply laugh and leave Then I'd say hey baby, just walk away Walk away See it in your rearview mirror And never think about what if you'd have stayed So don't go around feeling inferior Thinking you're less of a man People's wisdom is meager And they're always eager to tell you they don't give a damn They say La, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la We don't give a damn They say La, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la We don't give a damn They say La, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la We don't give a damn

Every change is a form of liberation Liberty is a kind of alteration Emancipation is a shift It's new path off the cliff Bird in the hand Hand in glove (hand in the glove) Two in the bush Push comes to shove (push comes to shove) I'm not trying to take anything away from you But I wish you would just Reconsider it Reconsider it Oh, reconsider it oh Reconsider it (reconsider it) Reconsider me Ooh change is the great decider Nothing changes without the wire Redemption is a gift A new kind of uplift Trouble is in the mind of the beholder (mind of the beholder) And every day I can feel it getting colder (it's getting colder) If this is your war baby I don't wanna be your soldier Oh, I wish you would just Reconsider it Reconsider it Uh huh, reconsider it oh Hey now, reconsider it (reconsider it) Reconsider me But I wish you would just Reconsider it Reconsider it Uh, reconsider it oh Come on reconsider it (reconsider it) Reconsider me Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

These little drops of summer soon to fade away The evening's coming early and the shortening of the day Autumn is calling for Halloween parades Turkey's getting nervous about the elves and the sleigh Hurricanes are dying Oceans growing cold The sun is changing places The leaves are glowing gold The shadows they seem different to the tears in my eyes The lifeguards have gone home to the whistles in their minds The cotton and the corn (cotton and the corn) Are ready to be torn (are ready to be torn) From the fields of September (fields of September) From the arms of the farms (arms of the farms) Hurricanes are dying (dying) Oceans growing cold (oceans growing cold) The sun is changing places (sun is changing places) The leaves are glowing gold (leaves are gold) Sha, la, la, la, la, la Sha, la, la, la, la, la Sha, la, la, la, la, la Sha, la, la, la, la These little drops of summer Are waving as they fade (little drops of summer) The popsicle sticks have all been thrown away (little drops of summer) These little drops of summer soon to fade away (soon fade away) Little drops of summer they all fade away (summer fade away)

I would sell my car just to buy you some water I would resist temptation even from the devil's daughter I would go without sleep and never ever think about it I'd live my whole life with you and never even doubt it I would suffer misery if I thought you didn't know How I feel about you, it's growing more and more I'd do anything in this god awful world Just to make you love me would you be my girl I carry it all day and never complain Just to get to your loving baby I ain't ashamed If that makes me a fool girl oh I can't complain If love is earned I'm working everyday (everyday) Got me workin' I'm a lazy man and I don't like to work But when I see you girl I tuck in my shirt I would wash all the windows I'd rake all the leaves I'd mow every yard just to make you see I'd wash all the dishes, I'd learn to fly I'd run for office, Id even wear a tie I got such a feeling about you I never wrote a love song But look what ya done I carry it all day and never complain Just to get to your loving baby I ain't ashamed If that makes me a fool girl oh what can I say If love is earned I'm working everyday (everyday) I carry it all day and never complain Just to get to your loving baby I ain't ashamed If that makes me a fool girl oh what can I say If love is earned I'm working everyday (everyday) You got me workin' (you got me workin') You got me workin'

Kind 03:34
Lend a hand before you start pointing fingers Don't thumb your nose before you open your arms Chastise not those who have lost, but never cheated Stretch out your hands before the stretchers are needed Relax your mind I am your kind We all are kin somewhere down the line Read what they wrote Before you go looking for a goat Don't waste your needle and thread on scarlet Letters False sanctimony slices just like bologna And if you would, sir please slice it right down the middle Relax your mind I am your kind We both like the sound of a fiddle Let the fiddle play all night long Tip the player to keep playing that song The one about tulips, bullets and moons The one that my mama would just as soon Prefer her Daddy to croon Relax your mind I am your kind We all are kin somewhere down the line Relax your mind I am your kind We all are kin somewhere down the line We all are kin, I am your kind We all are kin somewhere down the line We all are kin somewhere down the line
