Hard Time

from Deviation Road by Nathan Seeckts

/

lyrics

We used to dance out in the court
With our heads held high
We used laugh at the poor
Kids out on the street
As we passed them by
We used to plan to grow old
Disgracefully
But the night I got caught
You were nowhere to be seen

So lift your head now
And listen to me
I’ve got soul now
Like you wouldn’t believe
And maybe this time
Baby girl you’ll save my soul
Coz in five years theirs parole

We used to press hard on the glass
For hours at a time
Memorized lines on your face
Where the only thing that helped me get by
Guess I didn’t know you at all
Your dishonesty
Its been three years since the call
Where you said I’ll see you in a week.

So lift your head now
And listen to me
I’ve got soul now
Like you wouldn’t believe
And maybe this time
Baby girl you’ll save my soul
Coz next week I’m up for parole

So lift your head now
And listen to me
I’ve got soul now
Like you wouldn’t believe
And maybe this time
Baby girl you’ll save my soul
Cause I just heard they’ve revoked parole.

Nathan Seeckts Geelong, Australia

Seemingly hewn from Bellarine Peninsula basalt, Seeckts’ vocal is imbued with all the heart worn grit of Steve Earle, grounding songs that are alternately heaving, shivering and jangling with feeling. Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
