lyrics
Having to balance between work and the stage
it's something that's an old routine, this is how I manage that
I'm Up all night, playing these songs, strumming these chords
Till the dawn, then its back to the farm working these hands
keeping things running, fixing, feeding, earning that living
till i'm back on the stage, just to do it all over again
It's a hot time down at the tavern
It's a cold beer and some dancing
so grab a girl and start two stepping
cause i'll be playing and singing all night long
i will play my Gibson till last call
there's a guitar case in my back seat
hot caffeine injected into me
as i change to go out on the town

"The word “authentic” gets tossed around a lot these days when discussing new music, and on Freightliner’s new single “Up All Night,” the Canadian roots rockers make it clear how they manage to work hard and play hard in equal measure. The instantly catchy, hard driving track recalls the glorious sound of early alt-country, when the likes of Uncle Tupelo and Steve Earle infused traditional sounds with punk rock attitude, while writing songs about small-time life.
As the chorus of “Up All Night” goes, “I’m up all night playing these songs, strumming these chords / Until the dawn, then it’s back to the farm / I’m working these hands, keeping things runnin’.” It’s the kind of honesty that’s become the hallmark of Freightliner’s creative force, Innes Wilson, who makes no bones about the fact that he and most other independent musicians have to balance their artistic passion with the reality of having day jobs."
