This single the title track on Andy’s new EP that will be released in 2020. Be sure to also check out the official music video for "Wicked Dreams" on YouTube.

lyrics

I was a young man out of college
I just needed to get out
Kept a guitar in my pocket
But it didn’t make a sound

Started up in California
And I went from town to town
Ended up in Louisiana
Where my feet never hit the ground

I don’t need no one
(I don’t need no one)
I don’t need a reason to identify
With the troubles in my life
Or the wicked dreams that refuse to die

The future came too quickly
And I had to get a job
Corporations came to find me
And I tried out them all

But I didn’t feel happy
No I didn’t feel sane
So I ran to Oklahoma
Cause back then life was still a game

I don’t need no one
(I don’t need no one)
I don’t need a reason to identify
With the troubles in my life
Or the wicked dreams that refuse to die

Settled down in Colorado
It’s the place that I call home
There’s beauty and adventure
With a different kind of tone

I don’t need no one
(I don’t need no one)
I don’t need a reason to identify
With the troubles in my life

I don’t need no one
(I don’t need no one)
I don’t need a reason to identify
With the troubles in my life
Or the wicked dreams that refuse to die

Andy Sydow Denver, Colorado

Americana, rock, singer-songwriter Andy Sydow is a jack-of-all-trades.

Sydow draws comparisons to voices like Paul Simon, mixed with a roots rock vibe reminiscent of Tom Petty. ... more
