about

wrote this on the bus from bobcaygeon to toronto in late july. for a week it felt like i was crying and these were my revelations.

shoutout to DCB for the lyric:

"are you honest, when no one's looking?
do you do what you should?"

lyrics

DRAG CITY

on god, driving along
in the backseat of my big brothers car
i saw a picture of bonnie, he was on drag city
well, hey bonnie, that's where i want to be

there's a road up ahead,
and nobody's on it
and i'm scared to take that road
if i'm being honest

on god's shoulder, at the side of the road
stop this car, look around
i went down to the river to put my feet in the water
why am i running? am i blue? who did i bother?

there's a road up ahead,
and nobody's on it
and i'm scared to take that road
i'm just being honest

are you honest, when no one's looking?
do you do what you should?
are you grateful? do you treat people
like good people would?
day of reckon, ya it's coming
introducing: second coming
if your pack is heavy you can hand it off
cause you've always got a friend in sweet jesus

and you can't change the past,
but you can own it
can you tell when you look at me:
it's a lot i'm holding
