Just Wired That Way

Story Behind The Song

Mark teamed up with guitar virtuoso T.J. Scarlett and they carved out a southern rock gem. Their goal was to capture a classic rock riff layered with Siuthern harmonies.

Song Description

Southern Guitar riff with attitude, harmonies, and a throw-back classic feel. Picture The Eagles singing with Van Halen, and then driving down a country road! Arkansas-based Honeyjack isn't your typical Southern-Rock. If Classic Rock was still being made, it would sound like this.

Song Length 3:29 Genre Rock - Classic, Rock - Hard Rock
Tempo Medium Slow (91 - 110) Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Mood In High Spirits, Restless Subject Excitement, Masculinity
Similar Artists Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd Language English
Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

I allow myself one little white lie a day
Judging by that grin I'd say
You're wired the same way

Ya think that I'd do better knowin' how I was raised
You grow up, wise up, save up for that rainy day
Well I never grew up and it never did rain
Now it's you I wanna save

See the edge and I jump right in to the waterfall
Well it's not my fault
I'm just wired that way
You caught my eye let the night begin
You knew all along
I'm just wired, wired that way

You remind me of a day when breakneck Sunday drives
Took us out past the county line and redneck hand-made road-signs
We'd outrun the cops every time
Well people size you up I guess that's just what we do
They look you in the eye, see if they're better than you
With a 396 under the hood, they told me not to do it but they knew I would.

See the edge and I jump right in to the waterfall
Well it's not my fault
I'm just wired that way
Holy water spiked with sin
You knew all along
I'm just wired, wired that way

Let's see how tonight goes, don't get ahead of ourselves
I'm prob'ly not those gold coins that you threw in those wells
So far so good so here goes....

See the edge and I jump right in to the waterfall
Well it's not my fault
I'm just wired that way
You caught my eye let the night begin
You knew all along
I'm just wired, wired that way
