When a wise band once said “What a long strange trip it’s been”, Moonshine Jasmine felt that. Frontman, Megan Pennington has been making music for the masses since 2014, searching for that “sound” that she could only create in her dreams. From recording contracts, to packing up her life into her Kia Soul, Megan sought out that sound for years. After meeting Tyler Feathers, she realized she found it. After some touring and growing, they went from a 3-piece acoustic trio to your favorite Blues Rock band, featuring Alex Wisniewski and Ben Osmond. The 4-piece team brings a powerful thunderstorm of true grit and passion. Taking inspirations from Janis Joplin, The Black Keys, The Eagles, and more, Moonshine Jasmine has crafted a refreshing wave of Blues Rock unlike anything you’ve heard before.​

Lyrics

Grateful

V: Well I had a 20 dollar bill

Destined for the tank

You told me that you needed your fill

So I went and broke the bank

 

I used to wear flowers in my hair

Until you said “That’s lame” 

But now I see you sittin’ over there

With your ol’ box of rain

 

C: Well I think it’s awful funny to say

Do no harm, take no shit

When baby, you’re the source of it

 

I got these clothes that suit this weather

Nothin’ bout you is gettin’ better

Thank God, Thank God he’s gone

Thank God, Thank God he’s gone

 

V2: Well he tried to tear that building down

It only cost his hair

But ol’ girl knew about that clown

And his bucket home over there

 

As the Grateful used to say

There will come a day

Where I’ll dance on your grave

Cuz I don’t have to crawl no more

 

C: Well I think it’s awful funny to say

Do no harm, take no shit

When baby, you’re the source of it

 

I got these clothes that suit this weather

Nothin’ bout you is gettin’ better

Thank God, Thank God he’s gone

Thank God, Thank God he’s gone

Once a Prick (Always a Narcissist)

V: He walks around with his nose in the air

Broken promises, but he don’t care

All that matters to him is that you left

 

Plays the card out without any shame

But this ain’t the first time she played the game

The whole world can see right through him

 

C: So turn on the gaslight, turn on the grooves

Baby boy just wants to show you the blues

Cuz he made em all by himself

Yeah he made em all by himself

 

Well you’re never right, he’s never wrong.

That’s why I’m here singin’ this song

Once a prick, always a narcissist

Yeah, Once a prick, always a narcissist

 

V2: When you make your own bed, lay in it

That’s the noble thing to do.

He wouldn’t know the first thing about that

 

I hope you’re ready to feel two feet tall

Here he comes, he don’t care at all

Afterall, he’s the victim here

 

C: So turn on the gaslight, turn on the grooves

Baby boy just wants to show you the blues

Cuz he made em all by himself

Yeah he made em all by himself

 

Well you’re never right, he’s never wrong.

That’s why I’m here singin’ this song

Once a prick, always a narcissist

Yeah, Once a prick, always a narcissist

 

B: Gaslighter, Vampire, He’ll suck you dry

 

Victim Blame, Play the game, it’s all in good fun

 

C: So turn on the gaslight, turn on the grooves

Baby boy just wants to show you the blues

Cuz he made em all by himself

Yeah he made em all by himself

 

Well you’re never right, he’s never wrong.

That’s why I’m here singin’ this song

Once a prick, always a narcissist

Yeah, Once a prick, always a narcissist

Fire

V: Like the strike of a match, 

the fire burned bright

And yeah it kept me warm

It was only for a night

 

And when the fire went out

Yeah, I took it personal

But it ain’t my fault

The wood’s too wet

And it ain’t no good for me

 

C: So let that fire burn

Light up every room

Shine so bright they can’t see nothin’ but you

 

You’re gonna find some bad wood

Along the way

But don’t forget gas and you’ll be okay

Cuz if you let that fire burn,

No one takes it away.

 

V2: Like a flick of the switch,

I became a nobody

Oughta chop all my hair

And try to be somebody

 

Or I could stand tall

Give em somethin’ to talk about 

Take the high road

Live without any doubt

 

C: So let that fire burn

Light up every room

Shine so bright they can’t see nothin’ but you

 

You’re gonna find some bad wood

Along the way

But don’t forget gas and you’ll be okay

Cuz if you let that fire burn,

No one takes it away.

 

C: So let that fire burn

Light up every room

Shine so bright they can’t see nothin’ but you

 

You’re gonna find some bad wood

Along the way

But don’t forget gas and you’ll be okay

Cuz if you let that fire burn,

No one takes it away.

Free

V: You left me on a Sunday

Threw me out of the house

With some clothes and a pack of smokes

 

On Wednesday

I took my stuff and said good-bye

Oh I just wanted to cry

 

C: But there were no more fights

No more sleepless nights

No more begging you to stay

 

I don’t have to cry

Over a could-be good-bye

I have a chance to take a breath

 

There’s no more feeling low

Since you had to go

And baby I’m free

 

V2: There once was a dark time

Where you held me down

I lost sight of who I was

 

Oh you tore me to pieces 

B’fore you said good-bye

You thought you ruined me

But that’s when it hit me!

 

C: There were no more fights

No more sleepless nights

No more begging you to stay

 

I don’t have to cry

Over a could-be good-bye

I have a chance to take a breath

 

There’s no more feeling low

Since you had to go

And baby I’m free

 

B: Oh you know it did hurt at first

Losing your life is hard

But as I pick up myself up and I take my first step

I took a breath and said

 

SPOKEN:

No more fights

No more sleepless nights

Cuz you know what?
At the end of the day: I’m FREE

 

C: There were no more fights

No more sleepless nights

No more begging you to stay

 

I don’t have to cry

Over a could-be good-bye

I have a chance to take a breath

 

There’s no more feeling low

Since you had to go

There’s no more feeling low

Since you had to go

And baby I’m free

 

Finally, I’m in control

Baby I’m Free.

Hang On There Ryder

V: There’s a boy on my mind and I can’t get enough

Yeah there’s a boy on my mind and I can’t get enough

But this little boy of mine is gonna have to be tough

 

Well your mama and your daddy had a real fine love

Yeah your mama and your daddy had a real fine love

But your mama had a dream and it got to be too much

 

C: Hang on there Ryder

Hang on there Ryder

Hang on there Ryder

Cuz it’s gonna be a hell of a time

 

Hang on there Ryder

Cuz we can make it through tomorrow with some love and this 6 string tonight

Man You Pretend to Be

V: When I look into his eyes I can see you

And now and then I think about the times you won’t be there

This little boy has blessed the world

And you’ll never get to know, just how great he is

 

C: Cuz mama’s gotta learn how to fish

Mama’s gotta work on a truck

And teach him how to throw a spiral

Show him love with any luck

 

We gotta take it slow and easy

Cuz mama’s teachin him how to be

The man you pretend to be

 

V2: Well he knows and wants to ask me about you

And I knew it’s gonna happen to me someday

I know he wonders why

You never stopped in to say “hi”

And he’s not alone

 

C: Cuz mama’s gotta learn how to fish

Mama’s gotta work on a truck

And teach him how to throw a spiral

Show him love with any luck

 

We gotta take it slow and easy

Cuz mama’s teachin him how to be

The man you pretend to be

 

C: Cuz mama’s gotta learn how to fish

Mama’s gotta work on a truck

And teach him how to throw a spiral

Show him love with any luck

We gotta take it slow and easy

Cuz mama’s teachin him how to be

The man you pretend to be

Done Runnin

V: I was young, I was dumb, I had eyes on the road

Just wanna be somewhere that I can be heard 

A home. A home.

 

Well you broke me, you choked me, you told me I could

Now that I’m grown up I see how you would 

Just use me to throw me away

Yeah you’d use me to throw me away

 

C: Well I’m not a little girl no more

And you gave me a real good reason to walk out that door

So don’t call me baby

Cuz after all these years I’m not comin’

I’m done runnin’

 

V2: Hotel rooms and late nights I blamed it on the time

Said if I want to be big I have to pay mine

Oh, I paid mine.

 

Well the tears and the pot and the powders all failed

Cuz runnin’ away just don’t rewrite the tail, oh no

But I wish that it would

 

C: Well I’m not a little girl no more

And you gave me a real good reason to walk out that door

So don’t call me baby

Cuz after all these years I’m not comin’

I’m done runnin’

 

B: Well I could just sit here and look through

His profile pictures but what good would that really do?

So instead I’ll just fly

I’ll see you on the other side

 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh 

I’m done runnin’ 

Oh – oh -oh
