“Arguably one of the hardest working bands to come out of San Diego, this family outfit, dripping with blood chemistry, delivers a real deal blend of Rock ’n’ Roll & Rockabilly Country.” - R.J. Bloke, Bigtop Bandstand (Los Angeles)

Ghost Song
Too many ghosts still hanging round
This old salty caballero town
Too many songs still on the breeze
Humming through the ficus trees
And I just can’t stand the sound
Perhaps I’ll pack a bag and leave this place
I swear this wind is screaming in my face
Maybe I’ll just sit right here
Another day or month or year
Send my mind to outer space
Going nowhere going fast
Kiss me now or kiss my ass
The shining sun just beats me down
Too many ghosts in this old town
I don’t know how long I’ll last
I know you like to take your time
You took yours and now you're wasting mine
Just like a daydream when you smile
Wish you’d just sit with me a while
Like you did one summer night
Only wish that I could say
I don’t believe I care much either way
Only wish that I had wings
Million other stupid things
To always know just what to say
If I had wings then I could fly
Among the seabirds in that endless sky
Far across a different town
Without these shadows hanging round
A few more nights for you and I
I wonder what you’ll dream tonight
While I’m stumbling over lines to write
Will you fall back to that place?
Will you recognize my face
In the dying of the light?
Or are you out there on the town?
Trying to spread your little smile around
Getting high with your new friend
The fool you’ll never see again
Two miles up and heaven bound
It Wouldn't Do No Good
Time flies by but I ain't got wings
So I'm left here singing and playing my strings
Driving in my car from place to place
I know I'm doing right when I see your happy face
Counting all the money I may have spent
I may be as rich as the president
All the pretty girls I'm telling you Jack
May look different when you're looking back
It wouldn't do no good, it wouldn't do no good
Think of the way things used to be
It wouldn't do no good, it wouldn't do no good
To rock this joint is enough for me
It wouldn't do no good
Without a long drive in my automobile
I won't make the money and I won't pay the bills
If I had another chance to start all over again
I just wouldn't have it any other way then
I made my choice many years ago
If you ask me to stay I'm bound to say no
Rocking and Rolling from town to town
Keeping them happy, never letting them down
Big Wheels Roll
Holding tight, Up all night
Loving by the dashboard light
Sweaty hands, Rocking bands
You were the one who understands
Shoot the moon, Sleep til noon
Your morning voice my favorite tune
Easy fun, Never done
Two crazy kids wrapped up like one
One we took our loving slow
Did our living fast
You used to kiss me on the mouth
Now you can kiss my ass
That’s alright, Let it roll
That’s alright, Big wheels roll
Cuss and fight, Up all night
Roll in bed, scratch and bite
Coffee black, Coke and Jack
Trying not to see the cracks
Perfect start, Torn apart
Now you’re the one who broke my heart
Love ain’t free, Can’t you see
That number three’s too much for me
Rise
Rise, you've got to wake up
Free, dancing in the sun
There are people living in darkness
No, don't let them pull you down
Right now your lungs are breathing
Blood warm beneath your skin
Wake up while you're still living
When you die, you won't come back again
Dive, deep into the water,
Fly, high into the sky
Love a girl who is on fire
Hold on, together you can burn
Rise up and see the light
Dance all day into the night
Open up your heart and take your turn
FInd a girl on fire, let it burn
“This power trio licks into high gear, and never lets up on the gas. These guys play a blend of Country, Rockabilly, Americana, Cow-Punk, and Los Feliz style rock that harkens back to the good old days of Sun Studios in old Memphis ... If you wanna see stripped down music played by three exceptional musicians, and love American music in the vein of 50s Memphis, the you gotta catch the Sea Monks!” - Vince Meehan, The SceneSD
