lyrics

There's something my grandfather said
When he was running out of daylight
Time's a wastin', better get to it
And do what you can before tonight

Cause it's a good day on the north side of the grass
It's another chance to chase down any dream that you have
On the north side of the grass

It's a strange world, you never know when
You'll be thrown off or taken for a ride
It can blow you up, build you back again
And lead you from darkness to light

And it's a good day on the north side of the grass
It's another chance to make a memory that'll last

We're all just trying to make it through another day
And find some peace along the way
But too many times, it's like a battle we're in
With odds stacked so high you can't win

Life's surprising, like the wilderness
Full of beauty and fierce things that bite
When I'm beaten down and feeling lost within
Quietly myself I remind

That it's a good day on the north side of the grass
It's another chance to chase down any dream that you have
And it's a good day on the north side of the grass
It's another chance to make a memory that'll last
On the north side of the grass

of roots-rock, alt-country, midwestern tinged power-pop and classic country influences. Tad Overbaugh's songs fall somewhere between the twang of Steve Earle, the gritty dive bar pop of Twin/Tone and chimey, hook-filled songwriting of Tom Petty. ... more
