I knew when I grew up there'd be change No more fun and games I try damn hard just to push through Things just stay the same I may be down on my luck I'm not down for the count I may be down on my luck But I'm not down for the count Things move so fast when you don't take time To stop and sit awhile Life may hit hard but don't give up And don't forget to smile I may be down on my luck I'm not down for the count I may be down on my luck But I'm not down for the count I've been over this in my head Truth cuts like a knife I sing songs, drink booze, and dance Music is my life I may be down on my luck I'm not down for the count I may be down on my luck But I'm not down for the count

My little brother's name is Stan What he don't know he can never understand When I say I know what's best I have to play my cards right against my chest So it goes he will never know I try and show him how to be a better man But it breaks I made the same mistakes He goes along and shows the world he truly can My best friend's name is Pete If you're not careful he will sweep you off your feet I can always count on him Unless it's nine o'clock and he is staying in So it goes he will never know I try and show him how to be a better man But it breaks I made the same mistakes He goes along and shows the world he truly can I see myself through them And it's the world that's changing me I come to grips with it I haven't seen all there is to see My old man's name is Dave He watched me grow he must have been so brave I don't believe he sees That I have found this way to succeed So it goes he will never know I try and show him I became a better man He thinks I break I made the same mistakes I go along and show him that I truly can So it goes he will never know I try and show him I became a better man He thinks I break I made the same mistakes I go along and show him that I truly can

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 staring at the noon day sun I grabbed my six and strum 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 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 hauling 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 I lost my heart to Sometimes I wait nights For you to come home Sometimes I tell lies For you to come home (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

Tucson Skies 03:13
This road is long and weary I travel 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's different When everything's still the same I sat down and wrote you a letter to tell you of all that I'd done To make you proud of me proud to call me your son I'm sorry that I couldn't be there when you needed me more than I knew The world seemed so ripe for the taking now I should have listened to you It's funny that everything's 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 that 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's 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's different When everything's still the same

The first time that we hit the road We didn't know anyone And the second time we headed out We all had too much fun And the third time we hit the road That time means so much to me Now every time we go We create our own scene We laugh we don't cry we drink to nights gone by Hey this road goes on We sing we don't fight we dance through the night Hey this road goes on The first time out in Anaheim I cried for all to see And he second time in Hollywood We got married at The Roxy The third time in Vegas town We got so trashed with Wil The last time in Indio We kept our Cat Party going still We laugh we don't cry we drink to nights gone by Hey this road goes on We sing we don't fight we dance through the night Hey this road goes on We laugh we don't cry we drink to nights gone by Hey this road goes on We sing we don't fight we dance through the night Hey this road goes on We laugh we don't cry we drink to nights gone by Hey this road goes on We sing we don't fight we dance through the night Hey this road goes on

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
