about

Track 4 recorded by Doug Haire at Jack Straw Productions, Seattle
Produced by Geoff Larson & Wes Weddell
Inspired by Daniel James Brown's "The Boys in the Boat"

lyrics

Evening winds begin to hit the lowlands
Keep your focus sharp and hunker down
Darkness dropping closer every moment
Not a lot of time to mess around

Dig in hard, dig in deep
We have miles to row before we sleep
Take a turn, take an oar
But know we can’t go back there anymore

Morning news spreads quickly through the country
Could have seen this coming if I’d wanted to
Darkness holding steady on the side streets
Not a lot of time to think it through

What do you do when you can’t do it on your own?
You have to choose to keep on rowing
And hope that she will keep on rowing
And then the next seat keeps on rowing
And if we all just keep on rowing…

Dig in hard, dig in fast
We have miles to row while the moments pass
Take a turn, take an oar
But know we can’t go back there anymore
No, we can’t go back there anymore…
