This first single from the forthcoming LP Sing Your Way Home is a smooth rocker to play while you're driving your car with the windows down. This song focuses on the vices we turn to to escape the day-to-day repetition of our lives, and the comfort that can be found in simplicity as we struggle to define meaning in our existence as a collective whole.

lyrics

Wound up tight like a rusted old spring,
looking to loosen it up and find the right frame of mind.
And all he wants is all he's been getting,
and all he really needs to unwind.

Spent all sixty-two of his years living simply,
a couple of bucks in the bank and a handful of friends.
And when they ask how he's been living,
he says "even the longest of days, they all have an end." 'Cuz all he needs is:

Two chords and a glass of whiskey.
Two chords and a glass of whiskey.

Hop in the ride, take flight through the lights of the city.
Same old two song set every Sunday night.
And all of his friends at the bar say "hey, what's giving?"
And he say "whatever come my way, I will be alright. 'Cuz all I need is:"

Two chords and a glass of whiskey.
Two chords and a glass of whiskey.
