A travelin' song! Written with the wind and Oshkosh in the rear-view mirror. Its the longing for the road and the longing for home all wrapped in one.

lyrics

Well the rain is coming, coming down;
Crickets sing a tune
All I want to do is sing along,
"I'm headstrong whether I'm right or wrong",
I know now that it won't be long,
I'll be back home before you know.

I'll be back home before you know,
I'll be back home before you know;
Don't know when but I'll be home soon
A sunny day or rainy afternoon,
I'll be back home before you know.

Packed my worries, I load my f*cks,
And I still 'em there in a pickup truck.
U-Haul packed, my home's in the rear-view;
My hat eschew, I'll say adieu,
You can see my reflection in the morning-dew,
But I'll be back home before you know.

I'll be back home before you know,
I'll be back home before you know;
Don't know when but I'll be home soon
A sunny day or rainy afternoon,
But I'll be back home before you know.

Think it's time I hit the road,
Down the highway goes a car-load
Giving back the things I once borrowed.
Don't know what I've got to say,
To make this feeling go away;
But I'll be back home before you know.
I'll be back home before you know,
I'll be back home before you know;
Don't know when but I'll be home soon
A sunny day or rainy afternoon,
I'll be back home before you know.

about

Hunter Gatherer Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Hunter Gatherer has a vintage vibe marrying catchy melodious tunes and resonant lyrics. His large and unique sound demands attention, and is difficult to tie down in terms of genre. Call it what you will: alt-mericana, indie-folk, gothic country; at the end of the day, all that matters is whether or not the song is worth listening to. ... more
