Earle, Steve - Taneytown Lyrics

Storytelling Level: Incalculable

taneytown rules!!

Born and raised in Taneytown (Tawneytown as it's pronounced). The railroad tracks is about the dumbest place to run from the cops seeing as how the police station is right off of em

Andrew Brooks omg I have been raised in taneytown too, still in taneytown. I go to the northwest middle school

@SaberMint is Brilhart still the principle? He was my High School Geometry teacher lol

Andrew Brooks no it’s mr.walkins. But do u know mrs perhatch, and mrs sands? They have been working here since my aunt and mom went there

He's not running from the cops he's running from the white boys that wanna beat him up ...

@SaberMint I remember sands. I had her for 8th grade English I think. Maybe it was something else, it was awhile ago lol

why can't modern country sound like this? no bullshit poppy choruses, no slick production, no generic melodies.

Taneytown is not good at all

I m really trying here but as cosmic weird to me as it may sound..I know all the words to every song he has done..but shit..I cannot hear or make out the words to this taneytown song..it's driving me mothefkn nuts..lol..anyone out there know the lyrics or what this song means........

Google is your friend ... search for Taneytown Lyrics ... theyr'e great, btw :)

A favorite. Check out his book Doghouse Roses. He has another book coming out soon, "I Can't Remember If We Said Goodbye."

bloody or not, I ain't dropping my randall, especially not in TAWNEYtown. always bugged me

I hear Kurt Cobain and Steve Earle here.

I tell yea I live right near Taneytown or tawneytown as we call it near Gettysburg too is there some truth to this story or what? Someone fill me in thanks

Go to the basement of the old county courthouse on center st in westminster and look at police reports from 1911. Did you go to fsk

Kayne Wantz I live in taneytown

I am in northwest middle I’m going to FSK next year

@Adam Meyer Randall knives weren't around until WW2. I would say it's a fictional song, loosely based on some of the shit that has taken place over the years.

best Steve album. great sound.

I went down to taneytown
I went down to taneytown
I went down to see What i could see....
wow whata-great-song!!

Marylander's report in

He was closer then some people, I've heard people say tinytown, tonytown lol

Drove between Baltimore and Gettysburg so many times I can't remember.

i was a young boy, brother broke down, my Dad took the call, racked his gun, held me at home while he brought my brother back

T Kirby I like those lyrics

I guess I stopped here because I'm a Marylander.

Why do I think of "House of the rising sun".....Great song, though!

I really don't understand why Steve isn't a fucking mega star. He has a ton of great songs, but you rarely ever hear them played. It seems the only places to hear Steve Early are Red, White & Booze or Outlaw Country on Serius XM.

powerful neo-cons quashing songs like "f the cc" and "condi, condi"

politics. there isn't the room for megastar outlaw country singers anymore, especially ones that embrace populist politics, just fake patriots in USA flag jackets and metrosexual haircuts singing about DA TROOPS and basically just doing trash pop.

The costs of stardom are something which Steve Earl must have decided weren't worth paying. For us, his stardom is clear enough. btw- does anyone else hear Richard Thompson licks on the break?

Jackoff reason ..first he is from texas..second..nashville at that time 1986 thaught thier shit didnt smell ..steve then was a rebel and heroin user....thats why

I just found his music , and fell in love with it . And i agree he should be at the top . :)

Taneytown is 45 minutes away from me! Awesome

jmhendrix101 Steve earles is a CD away..

jmhendrix101 i live in taneytown

@john stewart Meyer the late 60's and early 70's. ; )

Texas storytellin

talkinghead4 Texas storytellin

boy you look like hell is all she said

In an interview of Steve, he said Towns Van Zandt told him he looked like shit. Steve said I know, then Towns said your arms look like shit (from the needle), Steve said I know lol. Steve insured Towns he used a new needle every time. Steve overcame his battle.early 90's is when Towns just walked in Steve's house.

Hitched across the better part of North America with my ex girlfriends Randall knife down my sleeve. I love you Trish.
