lyrics

she was the kind with a mind on fire
who never did tire, though long did she run
enjoying her ways in the days that flew past
how long they could last with no shortage of fun

do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this
do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this

he was unknown but alone he could thrive
and keep the spirit alive in his hometown
he never got paid but he made it just fine
his job was to shine so he never felt down

do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this
do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this

they were a pair with a flair for the good
in their neighborhood all they spread was cheer
and how they survived yes they thrived every day
with nothing to say since they felt it so clear

do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this
do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this

can we talk about the weather tomorrow
can we talk about whether tomorrow
we’ll be alive enough to finally follow
through with the pride that we need to swallow
no one should live a live perpetually hollow
no one should live a live perpetually hollow
no one should live a live perpetually hollow

do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this
do you ever say no - I can’t go much longer like this

about

George Fetner (and the Strays) Columbia, South Carolina

His guises have included stormy Britfolk songwriter (Some Things We’ll Change) and avant-garde composer (Beneath the Ice). But Fetner seems most natural fronting The Strays, a rangy and loose-limbed rock ‘n’ roll ensemble that’s built for a good time: Swirling Hammond swells, greasy Tom Petty-isms, bubbly pep — these are the calling cards of a songwriter built to bridge crowds. edited, Free Times ... more
