The Bouncing Souls – Highway Kings (2020)

Posted by on

This song features a key change to a relative key, from Dm to D. I believe this is relatively rare in punk rock, and rock in general.

Sitting here drinking again…
thinking back on how simple it used to be.
Can it ever be that way again?
I’m drinking this one to my friends.
Looks like we’ll be here till the end.
Till the bitter end.

What are songs for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?
What are dreams for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?

We are the highway kings.
Chasing our destinies.
Cruising through a timezone
as the world stands still.
Harvest moon in a desert sky.
Making good time as we pass it by.
Wherever this road takes us, it was meant to be.
We’re already home.

What are songs for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?
What are dreams for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?

Learned to let go
of the things we can’t control.
Left em behind and followed rock and roll.
We found a new way of life.
Forever till the end of time.
But never getting old.

Enemy You – Kind Hearts

Posted by on

my sister had a stack of 45’s
the sweetest children in the place
it was good to be alive
and i remember endless summer days
they played “kids in america”
at the video arcade

the streets i called mine
it fit like a rhyme
that was another time

something happened to this little town
the children went away
the old buildings came down
i watched it fast but still i can’t believe
the things they have done
who we grew up to be

the streets i called mine
it fit like a rhyme
what happened to that place
and those hearts that were kind
i’d go back again
but it’s so different
with no innocence
