Not just any other day
The slate was polished clean
Playing nice but gonna roll those dice
At every opportunity
Do you believe
She thought she had the courage but she bottled it again
When you don’t believe in meant to be but you believe in where you’ve been
Tempting fate but it’s too late
You need a flame in the dark, a match and a spark
The light that guides you home
Some proof that you’re not alone
When you know it’s a sin but you do it again
And you hope that no one knows
But the devil made the deal and you crossed your fingers it was real in hope that no one knows
And so it goes
He lost everything when he bet it all
On a hunch in OKC
2 ex-wives, that casino life
A slave to his routine
Can you believe
He was lookin’ for a hero but he just needed a friend
A change of heart and a brand new start
One more chance to try again
He needed a win. We all need a win
You need a flame in the dark, a match and a spark
The light that guides you home
Some proof that you’re not alone
When you know it’s a sin but you do it again
And you hope that no one knows
But the devil made the deal and you crossed your fingers it was real in hope that no one knows
And so it goes
We all fall down
At the end of our rope
The deal goes down
And the credits roll

Buoyant one-off release from a long-running Atlanta band who juggle garage rock, folk, and power pop; don't miss the Mark Morrison cover. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 9, 2024
I love this entire album. Every track is a winner. The album is well mixed. It sounds great on my computer's stereo sound system. It is almost as good as the sound quality of my vinyl record sound system. And Jesse's voice has never sounded more powerful and confident. Definitely a Five-Star album. dansp
