Luke Beling is one of our all-time favorite artists. Everything he sings has a soul. Each song tells a different story, and if you dig a little deeper into the world of this extraordinary guy, you quickly understand why there are so many stories in his discography. Luke also writes books, and you can even order his new book The Field of Plenty, released on October 22, 2024 (yes, just six days after this song—he never stops!) on his website lukebeling.com.
But let's get back to the music. For us, Luke Beling—just as we suggest on the cover of your new favorite magazine (yes, please, humor us)—is like the uncle in the family who always has stories and legends to tell. And we love these kinds of characters. We've also highlighted his unique voice, a tone that makes him instantly recognizable. It's crucial for an artist to have a signature vocal style that stands out, and Luke Beling is fortunate to be among those who do.

Lyrics
She said boy this ain’t a place for the drifter
This ain’t a place for the drifter
Why’d you come knocking on my front door
I said girl I got some feet full of blisters
I got some feet full of blisters
Looks like you’re my something
Something cold to pour
She said don’t come to me here with no sweet talk
Don’t come to me here with no sweet talk
I got a handsome man gonna get me some kids
Well can he trample the snake like a wild horse
Trample the snake like a wild horse
Girl have you seen him dance
Does he mean what he says
‘Cause I see a look in your sad brown eyes
If you say it’s a lie
Then I’ll say goodbye
But the open road’s such a lonely place without a hand to hold
Every careless mistake
Every fall from grace
Every blade in the soul
If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret
Every sky full of clouds
Every choice that we doubt
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Then the sun turned the blue sky burning
The sun turned the blue sky burning
I felt the warmth of her skin as she showed me in
Boy you know he’ll soon be returning
You know he’ll soon be returning
And oh he’s a jealous man
Steel pan for a chin
But girl there’s that look in your sad brown eyes
If you say it’s a lie
Then I’ll say goodbye
Oh the open road’s such a lonely place without a hand to hold
Every careless mistake
Every fall from grace
Every blade in the soul
If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret
Every sky full of clouds
Every choice that we doubt
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Oh the highway’s waiting
The daylight fading
The way we’ll take is a one-time trade-in
Of a curtain call
Life stillborn
Of asking for more
My girl we’ve got it all
Yeah the highway’s waiting
The daylight fading
The way we’ll take is a one-time trade-in
Of a curtain call
Life stillborn
Of asking for more
My girl we’ve got it all
If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret
Every sky full of clouds
Every choice that we doubt
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
Every now and not yet
