I've heard my whole life "don't talk to strangers." It's a lonely life when we remain closed off to others. Some of the best conversations of my life have been with people I had just met. Thought back through some of those moments and wrote this one.

In Franklin County, Virginia
They called them whiskey trippers
Someone had to keep the drunkards sipping
With White lightning in a jar
Was faster than their cars
Illegal but it only made them want it more
She was bright eyed and bold
As the story is told
She was running on the wrong side of town
Her engine it revved
Just as red as she bled
In an attempt to get away from the Feds
Run run run Wille run
With our rum rum rum Willie run
Try as they might
And oh what a sight
But her car it seemed given to flight
No matter your views
On a barrel of booze
Bet against her you're likely to lose
Run run run Wille run
With our rum rum rum Willie run
Oh there after her
Oh but she faster
With a gun to her head
But She'd rather be dead
Then to give up her rights to the Feds
She's the first on the scene
As the sirens they scream
A parade that seems fit for a queen
Run run run Wille run
With our rum rum rum Willie run

Tyler Simmons and I sat down with Murray Daigle and Tyler and I came up with the idea for this conversational narrative song. Its really about a boy who just cant see the light and let go of his girl - despite the writing being on the wall

This is not the first song that I have written but its the first one I invested a ton of time in to get the production up on. I wrote it on my piano and I tried to preserve that throughout - despite bringing a rock feel to it. The song is about decisions, being a teenager and choices and uncertainty.
