about

The closest I've come to writing a Stones song. Hartwell and Anderson locals might not appreciate the references, but they are not untrue...

lyrics

Hartwell

we used to go across the lake
to bet our video hands
then they started coming our way
when we had itches to scratch

***

then we both got the same games
and stayed more in our states
then there wasn't no money nowhere
left for our dirt track race

and we couldn't get out of hartwell
'cause gas made us too far away
so we stayed

***

we lost our girlfriends in anderson
with the radio change
there never was any bus to catch in either place
or for any shade

***

here and there, 3 for 2
make a dollar, give one away
the jockey lot empties your house
'cause you got bills to pay

take your daughter to work with you
even if you hustle your days
'cause there ain't no real difference
between careers anyway
wouldn't you say
