Down On My Luck

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

The Men In My Life

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

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

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
