This is the oldest song on the EP, predating even some of the tracks from our debut album, 'Not a Functional Zebra.' It's become a fan favorite at local gigs with great audience participation for reasons that become obvious upon listening. Anyway, Davy wrote it after a friend's ill-fated engagement to a soul-sucking demon witch predictably went to hell in an handbasket.
Oh, and for those who may wonder: "Jesus"and "Chewbacca" don't refer to the literary/cinematic characters; they're nicknames for two members of the "pack" of close friends mentioned in the song.
lyrics
If she could see what I have seen and if she knew what I knew
Then she never would've done what I just watched her do, but
It's okay. Just walk away
The Pack has held a meeting, yeah the matter's been discussed
And out feeling of acceptance she's replaced with disgust, so
It may sound bad, but you know we're glad to see her go
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away
(Let her watch you walk away)
Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway
(We never liked that bitch anyway)
"Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away
Well, we know from past experience the bottle's not your friend
But you've got Jesus and Chewbacca until the end, so
Just lean on us when the times get rough
Sometimes people come into your life to help you learn and grow
But then others only wanna have you under control, well
As a great man once said, "Homey don't play that."
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away
(Let her watch you walk away)
Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway
(We never liked that bitch anyway)
"Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away
(guitar solo)
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away
(Let her watch you walk away)
Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway
(We never liked that bitch anyway)
"Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away
(Let her watch you walk away)
Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway
(We never liked that bitch anyway)
"Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say
You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away
Let her watch you walk away
Watch you walk away
Let her watch you walk away
Soldiers of Fortune was formed in 2012 by Davy Stone and Matt Parris. They are an acoustic duo who love making music
together just for fun, and consider themselves lucky to be able to share it with friends, family, and all others who happen to stumble upon their music. Life gets in the way at times, but they can occasionally be seen in the wild laying down tasty jams at various Myrtle Beach bars....more
Our dear friend Brian is the heart and soul of the greater Myrtle Beach area's creative scene. His entire discography is worth picking up all at once, and this 2015 release has some absolute gems. Soldiers of Fortune
Austin Perry, the official third Soldier of Fortune, was the one who made our debut album happen. His music kicks ass, and here's his latest project with his cousin Zach. We love them and their tunes. Soldiers of Fortune
