Story Behind The Song

Written and recorded in less than 24 hours, without even having gathered together for a single second to collaborate, both of us in different states, but neither of us on our own.

Song Description

Just our take on reinventing one's life after long periods of hard living and wild riding... When the world won't let you change your ways.

Too Many Layers Of Paint

Well Granddaddy built his shack out of pallet boards and crates,
It only had two rooms inside - but one is all it takes,
And his shack was in that shanty town until 1938,
When he burnt that bastard to the ground moved his family to L.A.,

* CHORUS:
So you're stripping all that paint off of this town,
Paint on top of paint - every layer until now,
Well you're changing your crazy ways and you're turning your life around,
To hell with stripping all that paint -
Just burn that bastard down,
Well to hell with stripping all that paint -
Just burn that bastard down,

Well Jessie was the youngest but it always felt like he was in last place,
He always took things way too far - especially his mistakes,
And it wasn't a surprise to anyone when Jesse finally got sent away,
He'd been holding up small town banks before they chased him across the state,

Now that courtroom was filled with folks and some even took the stand,
To give their account of Jesse robbing them with a 38 in his hand,
And folks said he'd been polite to them despite the actions of the man,
But the Judge gave Jesse 20 years and no one gave a damn,

* CHORUS:
So you're stripping all that paint off of this town,
Paint on top of paint - every layer until now,
Well you're changing your crazy ways and you're turning your life around,
To hell with stripping all that paint -
Just burn that bastard down,
Well to hell with stripping all that paint -
Just burn that bastard down...
