In the middle of the bayou.
Wait, there were alligators and big-ass snakes in this region. Okay, so maybe stopping wasn’t a good idea.
But something had to give. And after reading Van’s latest song, I was ready to make my filthy intentions very clear.
“Sideline” wasn’t like his others. We were hard-edge rock, loud, and brash. And Van (Corley) could write a solid piece for that genre. We’d recorded several of them.
But his latest song was far from that. Rock n’ roll angst meets country heartache.
And I swear to whatever deity you wanted to believe in that the song Van had written was about me and him.
I felt it in every lyric.
“Sideline”
I watch you from the sideline
Playing out your heart time
Sideline
Sliding on stage
shameless adulation
Turning my page
Still, I keep on waitin’
Why you, why me?
Not like it was before
And then there are the fans
Reminders of the score
I watch you from the sideline
Playing out your heart time
Sideline
Is your heart for them?
Do you hear mine racing?
Can’t go on this way
I got no business chasin’
Every day gets longer
I tell myself more lies
Holding on to what I was
The want I still deny
