Sunrise bleeds through the pine tree light,
Coffee brewin' in the hush of night.
No traffic screams, no concrete chains,
Just a red dirt road and a porch-bound train.

Crickets sing what the radio missed,
Freedom found in a backwoods kiss.
Ain’t no boss here callin’ my name,
Only the wind, wild and untamed.

Back country soul, I ain’t for sale—
My heart beats slow where the fast life fails.

Old dog layin’ by my worn-out boots,
Truth grows deep like pecan roots.
Ain’t got much, but I got it all—
Stars so close, you can hear 'em call.

No neon signs, no sirens cry,
Just a big sky church and a whippoorwill high.
Here I pray with dirt on my hands,
A holy hymn only nature understands.

Back country soul, I ain’t for sale—
My heart beats slow where the fast life fails.

They paved the road out there with gold and steel,
But peace lives where the wild stays real.

With the heat of summer in full swing, the next stage of Secondhand Serenade’s saga is gearing up for release.  Those familiar with the words of John Vesely, the man behind Secondhand Serenade, have lived through his picturesque stories of life’s ups and downs - from the act’s acoustic debut, Awake, to the fuller, and more emotionally complex sounds of 2008’s sophomore A Twist In My Story.  Fans have gravitated to John’s heart-on-his sleeve approach and are consistently moved by his tales of life, love and loss that foster universal understanding.  Along this journey, A Twist In My Story spawned the platinum-certified top 10 CHR Top 40 hit “Fall For You.” The song also reached No. 21 on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100.  With the upcoming August 3rd release of Hear Me Now, Secondhand Serenade’s third studio release for Glassnote Records, he gives a more in-depth look inside a man coming to terms with his shortcomings and moving forward with that understanding.
