about

Back in 2015, Chris moved to Portland, Oregon to attempt a fresh start on life. This was widely regarded as a bad move and did no play out well, but this song is about the feeling of needing to get away from your hometown to move on.

lyrics

I've been sitting
Watching myself go by
I'm getting tired
Of seeing myself in this light
I've been thinking 'bout packing up
And heading out once again
You see, I feel like I'm broken down
And I need to get up my friend

Then I'm shutting the door
I'm turning the lights out
I'm leaving alone
And I ain't coming back home
I'm leaving alone
And I'm not turning around
I'm hitting the road
Say your goodbyes while you can

Well, I'm still sitting
Still watching myself go by
Nothing
Ever seems right; nothing
Seems to pass by
They say it's all temporary
But it's still hanging around
I'm just waiting
To get out of this town

Then I'm shutting the door
I'm turning the lights out
I'm leaving alone
And I ain't coming back home
I'm leaving alone
And I'm not turning around
I'm hitting the road
So say your goodbyes while you can

Yeah, I'm gonna hit the road again
Yes, I'm packing it up, and heading out once again, my friend

I'm shutting the door
I'm turning the lights out
I'm leaving alone
And I ain't coming back home
I'm leaving alone
And I'm not turning around
I'm hitting the road
So say your goodbyes while you can

about

The Hourlies Detroit, Michigan

The Hourlies are four Detroit scene vets that all reside somewhere in the space between garage
rock, blues, punk, and psyche rock. The result is blues guitar hooks, played at the speed of punk, with
just enough psychedelic chaos to keep things interesting.
