LYRICS:
I got lost on the Natchez Trace
Stuck in van going 38
Its clear something ain’t right
We got home 'bout 3AM
Woke up at 6 just to do it again
It’s clear something ain’t right
Same time tomorrow night?
Maybe then I’ll know
What it takes to make it go
We found that life’s a trip
You make all your plans just to cancel 'em
It’s clear something ain’t right
We made a pact just you and I
No matter the stakes, we’re on the same side
It’s clear something ain’t right
I’ll take your shift tonight
Maybe then I’ll know
What it takes to make it go
I know things have been hard this time of year
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
It won’t always be bad if you can believe it
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
I swear on my life we’ll make it
Whatever the price, I’ll pay it
Just trust in ourselves
Work harder than hell
I’m not scared
When I draw from your well
I know things have been hard this time of year
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
It won’t always be bad if you can believe it
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
With no signs of stopping, we keep fighting
Poor Rover is a mostly acoustic trio from Huntsville, AL that sounds like if your hip Great-Aunt Betty listened to Phoebe Bridgers and the Avett Brothers instead of cable news. They love the 60’s and 70‘s acoustic, 90’s alternative, and modern folk/americana aesthetics and try to make their own unique blend with just a sprinkle of jazz and country. They strive to find ways to combine their influences in refreshing ways to craft dynamic, interesting, and rootsy music that you can still tap your toes to and sing along with.
