about

"A groovalicious rock and roll track about keeping it together after a love lost or a lost loved one."

lyrics

A thousand times
Every day
Big tears
One little thought away
I never let them
Never let them slip
But it's hard now
Hard to keep my grip
Keep my grip
Keep my grip
Keep my grip
It's hard to keep my grip

Oh, oh, whoa, how I wish that we could talk
I'd tell you all I see when I look back is
Love, love, love
And it don't stop, it goes on

A sweet melody hits me
From out of the blue
I turn to look the other way
The words blind sided me too
Pain and grateful
Pain and gratefulness
Two things you left me
Deep down in my chest
In my chest
In my chest
In my chest
Deep down in my chest

Oh, oh, whoa, how I wish that we could talk
I'd tell you all I see when I look back is
Love, love, love
And it don't stop

Well, papa was a bread truck driver
Delivering to all the schools
Dark haired mama, two babies on her knees
Not looking to raise no fools
Papa jumped to the rooftop
Truck started smelling like tar
Telling everybody, to him it smelled like money
But a house in the suburbs only goes so far

A thousand times
Every day
Yeah, big tears
One little thought away
But I never let them
Never let them slip
But it's hard now
Hard to keep my grip
Keep my grip
Keep my grip
Keep my grip
It's hard to keep my grip

Oh, oh, whoa, how I wish that we could talk
I'd tell you all I see when I look back is
Love, love, love
And it don't stop
Come on

HOOKiE image

HOOKiE St. Louis, Missouri

HOOKiE is a 3 piece rock band based out of Alton, IL -- the up and coming rock-and-roll capital of the free world.
HOOKiE has been bastardizing cover songs and honing their sound, learning to keep the vibe loose and intensely grooving at the same time until they can play whatever they want, and what they want is to make you move.
See what the buzz is about - play HOOKiE! It's good for the soul. ... more
