lyrics

here i am alone with the california sunset, thinking that it’s one of all the things we haven’t done yet. i feel like i know you like we went to school together; it’s been a hundred days, but it sure feels like forever. i want to be with you on your birthday, but i can’t. i want to be the part of life that turns out like you planned. i’m falling for you like a country falls down to its knees, waiting for a revolution to bring you home to me. 30 years ago your daddy closed his eyes and wished his daughter would be beautiful – and what he wants he gets. for your birthday he would say that he would rather be nowhere else but telling you you’re everything he wanted you to be. honey, i would take you anywhere love is in style, and that’s everywhere except where you’ve been for a while. your life is like an upside down version of itself, and I am just a secret I thought other people tell.

about

The Scrimshanders Boston, Massachusetts

The Scrimshanders came out of Jamaica Plain, MA in 1998. John Magee, Tom Baker, Jamie Griffith and Kevin Scollan grabbed a 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?
