lyrics

there's a picture of you locked in my bedroom drawer from the last time we met back in 1984. you moved south to indiana with a pile of fake jewels from a man who never loved you half as much as i still do. we used to spend the summer nights up in traverse city. framed against the lake you sure looked pretty. i used to hitchhike from detroit to the western shore - meet you halfway from chicago out on 94. down south in indiana, kentucky blues will get you when you say: "i see you over the border; i wish my life was shorter." i passed up on you like a lie that turns out true. nothing's ever through that means so much. they should make it illegal - like bonnie and clyde - to love on the run, to love like you're gonna die. to be so fucked up by someone you're doomed to a life of mistakes and bad luck you can't lose.

about

The Scrimshanders came out of Jamaica Plain, MA in 1998. John Magee, Tom Baker, Jamie Griffith and Kevin Scollan grabbed a ... more case or two of Buds and a bag of songs one night; the rest is history. Ace pedal steelman Tim Obetz lent a regular hand. Joby DeCoster took over from Scollan on drums in the early going, and "Longneck" was born.

It took 9 years for the followup to appear. Will there be more? less
