Queens County Roots – One Step Ahead | Rock music review

“Οι κιθάρες από την αρχή βάζουν φωτιά και ο ρυθμός μας βάζει κατευθείαν στο παιχνίδι της μουσικής απόλαυσης. Η μελωδία είναι ένα ατέλειωτο ταξίδι έντασης ,ενθουσιασμού και πάθους που δεν θες να σταματήσει ποτέ. Τα φωνητικά με δύναμη και αισθησιασμό μας ξεσηκώνουν και με την ιδιαίτερη χροιά τους απογειώνουν το κομμάτι.”

Lyrics of Queens County Roots – One Step Ahead

It’s hard out here for the honest folk I see
Harder still for a man like me
Been one step ahead since I was seventeen
Some of you know what I mean
I can’t blame no broken home
Two saints gave thanks on the day that I was born
But loving words can be so very hard to hear
When the devil’s whispering in your ear
And the temple I built to myself
Is pulled down around my head
The hell-hounds on my trail
Drink from dry river beds
But I stay one step ahead
I fell on my knees
I was begging please
Don’t let me know all the good I’m gonna miss
When the cold hands close around my wrist
And the temple I built to myself
Is pulled down around my head
The hell-hounds on my trail
Drink from dry river beds
But I stay one step ahead
