A regular Saturday web feature spotlighting the early years of Eric Church. New music that really isn't NEW!

Nothing scary about this. Chocked-full of tasty song writing nuggets that may not have garnered radio hits like his most recent singles, but would certainly define his climb fro obscurity from small clubs & venues to a major touring powerhouse delivering record-breaking attendance records, not to mention attracting a very loyal fan base who he himself is very loyal to as well.

“Let me be your weekly guide to NEW MUSIC that really isn’t new, but just plain & simply, kicks ass”!

-Steve Richards ( @trainwreckradio ) #theChurchChoir #EarlyChurch #Boo #HappyHalloween

Eric Church 'Without You Here' @ Bullshooter's Saloon in Weston, WI 10/25/08

Eric Church 'Without You Here'

[LYRICS]
"Without You Here"

Without you here everything's in black and white
Without you here I'm upside down
Without you here honey I'm a melody
Living in a world that can't hear sound

If these boots could fit a railroad track
I'd be gone and never look back
If my thumb could flag a wild wind down
I'd lean back and let it blow me around
And try to land anywhere other than without you here

Without you here every breath is wasted
Without you here I'm just a ghost
Without you here I'm stranded at the station
And my mind caught the last train for the coast

If this truck were a time machine
I'd rev it up and let it carry me
Light years away or on down the line
I'd give the shirt off my back or my last dime
If it can take me anywhere other than without you here

There's roads and sky, boats and wine
A million ways to leave you behind
I don't know where
But there's still life out there
Not without you here, not without you here

Cause without you here everything's in black and white
Without you here I'm upside down
Without you here honey I'm a melody
Living in a wold that can't hear sound
