Tucson Skies 03:21
This road is long and weary; I travelled farther than I could I lost my soul to gambling just like you said I would I came to town this evening to hope I’d find you there But you had left already, without a single care IT’S FUNNY THAT EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT WHEN EVERYTHING’S STILL THE SAME I sat down and wrote you a letter to tell you all I had done To make you proud of me; proud to call me your son I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there; you needed me more than I knew The world seemed so ripe for the taking; I should have listened to you IT’S FUNNY THAT EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT WHEN EVERYTHING’S STILL THE SAME I left your house at midnight I left for where you would go The sky opened up before me as I wandered the desert below I knew you would head south at least I hoped you would I wish I could find the strength to face you I wish that you knew that I could IT’S FUNNY THAT EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT WHEN EVERYTHING’S STILL THE SAME I finally found you in Tucson, how many years had gone by So ready to tell you I’m sorry, but all I could do was cry When I sat down there beside you I fell into disbelief You died two years ago come Monday and I’ll never know that relief IT’S FUNNY THAT EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT WHEN EVERYTHING’S STILL THE SAME

I can still feel you near I miss you so much dear When I'm alone, I see you I don't know what I should do HERE WE ARE NOW, TORN APART, AND EVERYTHING TURNED TO DUST I SEE YOU STANDING THERE, AT THE END AT THE END OF US You broke my heart in two I just can't do that to you When I see your hurt eyes Bought and paid for with your lies HERE WE ARE NOW, TORN APART, AND EVERYTHING TURNED TO DUST I SEE YOU STANDING THERE, AT THE END AT THE END OF US I only want to talk to you You know that's something I can't do I don't know what I did wrong You'll move on before long HERE WE ARE NOW, TORN APART, AND EVERYTHING TURNED TO DUST I SEE YOU STANDING THERE, AT THE END AT THE END OF US HERE WE ARE NOW, TORN APART, AND EVERYTHING TURNED TO DUST I SEE YOU STANDING THERE, AT THE END AT THE END OF US

I was sitting in an old boxcar, watching the world pass by I thought I caught you staring, from the corner of my eye I turned to look and what I saw, was an empty point of view I turned my eyes back to the tracks, and rolling down to you I jumped the rails in San Jose, and dodged the rail-yard fuzz I stole some beer and whiskey too, so I could catch a buzz I set myself on fire that day, starin’ at the noon day sun I grabbed my six and strummed for you, on my way to the A-B-Q (ALBUQUERQUE) I always knew I’d go one day (ALBUQUERQUE) I never thought that you would stay (ALBUQUERQUE) The last damn stop this train rolls through (ALBUQUERQUE) This town that I lost my heart to My whiskey sinks so deep inside, that I can’t see the sights My mind just runs with what to do, on this clear desert night I swapped the rails in Flagstaff town, to get a straight shot through So many things I’ve thought to say, the day that I see you This Rio Grande is haulin’ ass, across the countryside I’m kicking back and drinking Jim, with the box door thrown wide The day we met you stole my heart, I’ve never been the same So here I come on rails of steel, on into A-B-Q (ALBUQUERQUE) I always knew I’d go one day (ALBUQUERQUE) I never thought that you would stay (ALBUQUERQUE) The last damn stop this train rolls through (ALBUQUERQUE) This town that I lost my heart to Sometimes I wait nights
 For you to come home
 Sometimes I tell lies 
For you to come home

Everybody's got themselves a plan And everybody thinks they'll be the man Including the girls The musicians who lack the friends to form a band Are singer songwriters The rest of us are DJs, or official club photographers And tonight I'm playing another Salt Lake City show So I'm going through my phonebook texting everyone I know And quite a few I don't know who's numbers found their way into my phone But they might come along anyway You never really know None of this is going anywhere Pretty soon we'll all be old And no one left alive will really care About our glory days, when we sold our souls But if you're all about the destination Then take a fucking flight We're going nowhere slowly But we're seeing all the sights And we're definitely going to hell But we'll have all the best stories to tell Yes, I'm definitely going to hell But I'll have all the best stories to tell. -FTHC

about

Jeff Dillon and The Revival Salt Lake City, Utah

Jeff Dillon won’t sit down and he won’t shut up. For 20 years he’s been distilling his punk rock passion in a mash of folk- flavored rock and roll. The result is a sound that evokes the love child of Tom Petty and Against Me! His debut EP, “For Heidi” is the oak-barrel aged soundtrack with a stouthearted, nomadic spirit—gritty and perfected with Dillon’s experiences from the road. ... more
