- Lyrics -
When your burden is heavy and your bones are weak
Come sit awhile and talk with me
I'll be around
I'll be around

When that spark in your eye has lost its fire
And a little warmth is all you require
I'll be around
I'll be around

Can't escape your troubles even when you're alone
Feels like everyone you knew don't even know you no more
When they make that extra effort to keep you down
I'll be around

Everyone behind you took your place in line
What makes it worse, they did it one at a time
When the rope you used to walk on just keeps you bound
I'll be around

Something bad is coming, his friends are too
And your deal with the devil has been approved
I'll be around
I'll be around

Running straight into trouble, with the hounds at your back
If the river should kill you or throw them off your track
I'll be around
I'll be around

- Short Bio -
Over the past few years, you could find Josh Preston playing with a number of bands (The Mables, Daphne & The Mystery Machines, Adam Burrows, Tumbleweed Company) around Nashville on any given night of the week.

It was this submersion in Music City’s stylistic stew of rock, pop, funk, blues and Americana that transformed his guitar playing and personalized his approach to songwriting.

The experiences and observations gathered during this time have embedded themselves on his new, self-titled release.

Backed by musicians with a deep connection to the musical roots of rock and soul, these well-crafted songs dance from heartfelt to humorous and shine a spotlight on who he's become as an artist.

Josh Preston's self-titled release is an honest reflection on both his social status and the status quo.
