about

"Resplendent..encapsulates the bygone early Nashville scene with a brave modern Americana flair..boasts charismatically confident vocals and with a shuffle and swing backbeat, creating a smoky portrait of country’s golden years." - Glide Magazine

lyrics

You came in like a gust of breeze
A cool wind tryin’ to find the heat
Let myself fall for you
A sunset chasing a different hue
You were too good to be true
Gone again before I knew

How soon before the rubber meets the road
And you find another town to pass on through
How long before the mirror makes it clear
The empty road can’t show you nothing new
This Chevy you’ve been riding on the one you ride to every dawn
How soon til that rusts out too?
How soon til that rusts out too?

Never been too satisfied
Can’t keep up with your own stride
Second hand chasing the next round
I’m counting down until the hour
You’ve lost all your staying power
And I can stop all guessing when

How soon before the rubber meets the road
And you find another town to pass on through
How long before the mirror makes it clear
The empty road can’t show you nothing new
This Chevy you’ve been riding on the one you ride to every dawn
How soon til that rusts out too?
How soon til that rusts out too?

Sweet nights for lonely days
Was enough to keep me wishing for a while
When you’re gone
I know that fire in your eye
Will someday lose its shine

So I’ll hold my head up high
When you call it’s not a cry
Won’t get wrapped up in your thread
You’re an easy fix without a mend I can count on both hands
How many kinds I’ve known like you

How soon before the rubber meets the road
And you find another town to pass on through
How long before the mirror makes it clear
The empty road can’t show you nothing new
This Chevy you’ve been riding on the one you ride to every dawn
How soon til that rusts out too?
How soon til that rusts out too?
How soon how soon til that rusts out too?
