about

Definitely into the MT2x. This was one of the earliest tracks I recorded for "IV" after Country Station. Acoustic going through the Cream City Pedals Vibratosaurus.

lyrics

Sometimes you gotta sing real low
Keep one eye open, or close your eyes in the middle of a busy road
Sometimes you gotta let it go
Sometimes you gotta hold it close

How long has this been going on? Many a lifetime and many a lifeline has known.

Sometimes you gotta duck
Sometimes you hold your head up high
Keep your fingers crossed, or point that finger back at the other side
Sometimes you gotta let it ride
Sometimes you gotta stand and fight

How long has this been going on? Many a lifetime and many a lifeline has known.

Sometimes I am the moon
Sometimes I am the other side
Keep it to myself or else try like hell to make it last all night
Sometimes I gotta get shut down
Sometimes you gotta drag me out

How long has this been going on? Many a lifetime and many a lifeline has known.
