LYRICS:
i never flew south, i never flew west
never was the egg that rolled out of the nest
i never spread my wings on the first day of spring
i never saw the bright side of anything
it’s just the same old same old, day after day
somebody get me a sunshine getaway

ready or not, here i go
don’t wanna be another 3-2-1-zero
in a mini pink shack on an easy chair
if i would’ve left town i might’ve gone somewhere
same old same old, day after day
somebody get me a sunshine getaway

i can almost see it, just over the hill
it’s kinda hard to make it, but i know that i will
i been drowning my sorrows in coffee and cream
been a-running through sand, just another bad dream
a finger in the machine

o neighbor, drag me out
of the state i’m in
i need a tropical breeze
over sun-kissed skin
in the crystal blue seas
where the palm trees sway
i’m stuck in the middle of the USA

it’s just the same old same old, day after day
somebody send me a sunshine getaway

Thank the Lord they’re back!! Huge fan of their sound. Been a fan for many years.

Damn I really don't understand how this didn't catch the main stream way better than anything IV heard on the top 100 list

JD does inventive mashups of vintage rock & roll and r&b. Just ingenious. Got totally hooked through his Sun Studio Sessions. I've seen him about 5x.

JD REX! Love the Glammy grind baby. Can’t wait for the record.

[hgielatanisridic]

Email about a new JD album is a heck of a humpday treat!

[lisamasters]

We just saw these beauties when they were the opening act for Robert Plant & Allison Kraus in Vancouver a couple weeks ago! What a freaking fun band - we loved them from start to finish and then having JD play with Robert & Allison for the remainder of the show was just the cherry on top!!! Such an amazing night and we look forward to catching JD and his band again!!! <3

[razorspade]

I heard this on the radio the other day, great song :) I always feel silly listening to the radio as a 25 year old but this is why, you hear new artists !
