lyrics

(M. Ounallah)

Ever since I was a kid I knew I'd find a way
To hit the country see the sights live each and every day
Know the trees from the forest, shine the light in my eyes
Don't try to hide me, my highway never dies

Set to find the place I knew I'd seen before
In dreams as a young kid, fables of war
Found on the hillside scattered through the land
Where people played and fought delivered final stands

Scenes of old stories now flood back to life
Old man's fading heart lost to his wife
Young man's glory shelved and filed away
Lose that gun at the riverside you'll be better off today

So spin the wheels and strum the lies
You gotta look close you can see it their eyes
The time is now there are no goodbye's
(As we sing) This can't be the Last One
(As we sing) This can't be the Last One
There will never, no never come a time
When this is the Last One

Far from where I left him old traveler down the road
Stopped me short in the pouring rain ditched his heavy load
Told me tales of reckless times old crossroads at night
Lost old lullabies songs out of sight
Like the legend of John Hurt and the deal that he made
Showed his cards to the world changes everyday
Lost memories remembered heroes unsung
We live and grow old but I will stay young

So spin the wheels and strum the lies
You gotta look close you can see it their eyes
The time is now there are no goodbye's

So spin the wheels and strum the lies
You gotta look close you can see it their eyes
The time is now there are no goodbye's
(As we sing) This can't be the Last One
(As we sing) This can't be the Last One
There will never, no never come a time
When this is the Last One

Scythian Washington D.C., D.C.

Named after Ukrainian nomads, Scythian is "what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling," says Nashville's Music City Roots. iHeartRadio's Arroe Collins praises new album Jump at the Sun for "reinvent[ing] folk rock in America." Scythian merges thunderous energy, technical prowess, and storytelling songwriting, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance, rock concert experience. ... more
