about

We wrote this song in June 2020, staring into the void. It was an anchor of sorts. How do you reconcile the grief and the pain the world was experiencing and choose to keep on singing? At least that’s the only way I know how.

lyrics

Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing left to do

Take a wing and learn to fly
No one's ever gonna see you cry
Satan he's a friend of mine
It's not a deal it's just a compromise
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try

Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing left to do

Take and inch and get a mile
Here's a ditty if you need a smile
Take a sip right out the cup
Just before it goes out of style
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try

Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing we can do

It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
