about

"Old Songs" is the title track of our second album. We wrote this tune with Dean Fields on the first day we met him. On this day, we had a hard time coming up with song ideas until Dean was flipping through his notebook and Wes saw the words "old songs" and said.. "let's write that".

lyrics

(L. Wright, W. Lunsford, D. Fields)

The words ran out in Maryville
So you turned on the radio
Static comin' in and out
Till it settled on a lonesome sound
Oooooooooo

You had your head against the glass
And your feet up on the dash
While you halfway hum the tune
But you don't know it like I do

When the rhythm is the tappin of the rain
And they're rhyming every word I couldn't say
I'm waving on a platform at a train
I'm there and then I'm gone
And you think we're just listening to old songs

It was years before I knew you
Love was young at 22
We were everything then nothing
I don't think of it that often, but I do

We just crossed the state line
You've been asleep for a while
And the song ended a long time ago
But I'm still waving on a platform at a train
