THE LONESOME HEROES: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)
• MP3 download whole song, hi-fi

This is a country song about country songs seizing your brain, which sort of makes it postmodern I think, but don't quote me on it. The chords are a really complicated version of D A G D the whole time.

Don't Play to Lose
Written by: Rich Russell

Have your days grown short,
While the night stretches on a little longer
They're building sidewalks through your front yard
And there's a devil on your shoulder
Those thoughts inside your mind
Have been leading you astray
Your hands they shake just like a wet dog
That's been left out in the rain

So I sing
Hey a hey yeah
Don't you know time will heal most wounds?
Hey a hey yeah
Please don't play to lose

When the music smells like sunshine
All the food just tastes like drool
You've got a killer case of the dancing brain,
But you still two step like a fool
All I know is country songs and worn clichés
Have a strange hold over me
The daytime shines so bright,
But in the night I can hardly see

So I sing
Hey a hey yeah
Don't you know time will heal most wounds?
Hey a hey yeah
Please don't play to lose
