Split Lip Rayfield is a vocal and acoustic instrumental group from Wichita, Kansas. Though they are sometimes classified as a bluegrass, alt-country, or cowpunk band, their music draws on a wide array of influences.
History
Split Lip Rayfield is a band from Wichita, Kansas featuring Kirk Rundstrom (guitar), Eric Mardis (banjo), Wayne Gottstine (mandolin), and Jeff Eaton (bass). Early on, the group's gimmick was Eaton's homemade one-string bass, named Stitchgiver, built from the gastank of a 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis and a piece of hickory and strung with one piece of Weedwhacker line.
The name "Split Lip Rayfield" was inspired by a real-life person of that name who lived in Eaton's hometown of Gumbo, Missouri, when Eaton was a boy.
The trio of Rundstrom, Eaton, and Mardis recorded the album Split Lip Rayfield in 1998; Bloodshot released it that same year.
1999 saw the release of In the Mud, the first album on which the group performed as a quartet. This album contained fan favorites such as Gottstine's "3.2 Flu", Rundstrom's "Devil", Mardis's "Hounds", and a cover of the George Jones/Melba Montgomery song "Easy Street". The band followed up the album's release with a nationwide tour.

Split lip It seems you need another Split lip Shut you mouth Your noisy mouth Before I put a fist in it Face hit Split lip You talk and talk and talk But its all mouth And no hands at all Just jealousy at its darkest green Destroying all your picture dreams Split lip Keep your cool In the bad school Pieces of flotsam and jetsam Backlash hit me And all the rest of them Split lip I'd like to be the one That teaches you a lesson You deserve You haven't heard Split lip! C'mon and hit me! Gimme a split lip Split lip I'll shoot you from the hip Split lip I'll strike you down When you're not looking Split lip So they say "Forgive, forget" Forget what? Forget me not But it's more fun To hit back With a Split lip Pieces of flotsam and jetsam And all the ragged rest of them Split lip And it seems sick lie My devotion You and I , emotion Oh try to kiss me kill me Kiss me kill me I'll shoot you from the hip {suck on this} Blood drenched Blood-soaked Seed choked Muscle wrenched out Slit slipped Knuckle wrapped Fist fried Tongue-tied Slit slipped Cracked whip Low slung Limp-hung Thigh torn Heart bled Raw red Heat horn
