lyrics

I've used up all the boxes
I took out all the trash
I'll grab the truck in Brampton
Still save a little cash
I thought I'd have a future
Drywall and driving nails
Still, life thought otherwise
Bad times and falling sales

They say it's so much harder
To try to save a stash
Can't even find your fortune
Digging holes up in the patch
Pastimes will pass the time
Lost moments with the hip
Life is a fulsome journey
This here's a sorry trip

It’s time to leave the line

I’ve had enough of losing
I’ve seen enough of pain
Old plans are worth refusin’
While I try to make amends
You won’t catch me again
'Cause it's only pulling nails


Stuck on the 401
Goin nowhere with no one else
I'm frozen here in time
Still hope my heart can melt
I've laid off my ambitions
I've outsourced my reserve
I've mortgaged all my dreams
And the future I had earned

The past is gone
Why should I mind
My path moves on
I’m doing fine

Your absence shades the presence
Of everything that came before
I knew I paid my penance
When you were standing at my door

about

Chris Steele image

Chris Steele Boston, Massachusetts

So, I’m a bit of a traveler and a dreamer, an observer of life,

A New Jersey kid who’s lived in New York and North Carolina before coming to Boston,

And who’s spent a lot of time in Canada.

I play rock – music with roots that come from the 60's, 70’s and 80’s. Rock with some folk, but also a little bit of prog thrown in. And I like to tell stories.
