about

Cover of Sheryl Crow's seminal 90's song. Recorded in social isolation from each other in quarantine April 2020 excluding drums and rhythm guitar which we recorded when we were working on our album "All Your Luck". During quarantine, all proceeds from this track will be donated to The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.

lyrics

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

[Chorus]

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

[Chorus]

Good, honest punk rock. Lyrics aren’t always honest, though. “Never Drinking Again”? I’ll raise a glass to a very fine album. davekillcountysmith
