39th Hour (Second Time Around)
I was dreaming of you in the 39th hour
and now it’s almost closing time
I grabbed my back with the extra shirt,
stop for coffee and a bottle of wine
It’s fourteen miles of country road,
racing against the sun
We found our own little world away
from all we were running from
And darling don’t it feel different
living to the limit, the second time around
Life is a well we’re diving in it,
Learning to love again the second time around
Hanging on every little minute,
Forty eight hours of the second time around
An honest try we’re going to give it ,
and cover some ground on the second time around
A red sundress and a back porch breeze
nervous hope among the pines
A sunset to blanket the regrets
it’s the color of new love and lost time
I carried a pocketful of pouring rain ,
until I felt the love in your eyes
A bag of beer and a bad idea
can cut a heart down in it’s prime
There’s no stop signs, there’s no neon lights
Just a brilliant backdrop to a quiet country night
There’s no reminders of the tired empty life
That we knew all too well before we left it all behind
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
