The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks are an American alternative country and rock band that emerged from the Twin Cities music scene during the mid 1980s. Their country rock sound was influential on many bands who played the Twin Cities circuit during the 1980s and 1990s like Uncle Tupelo, The Gear Daddies and The Honeydogs. They have released several studio albums, including five on the American Recordings label. On hiatus from 2005 to 2009, the band has since reunited and released a new album, "Mockingbird Time," in September 2011. more »

Leaving the monsters behind 
Sticking it out
Never knowing what you got

Bury me down by the river lazy 
Kicking around
All the old favorite haunts

I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Seems there's no place to hide

One step ahead of the hustle 
If I move fast
Maybe i'll outrun my past
With a little spit and some muscle
Like steve mcqueen
Tearing down the San Francisco streets

I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Seems there's no place to hide

Hearing the brakes down on the interstate 
Diesel fumes and run-down motel rooms

Moccasin soft drawing straws
Sleeping it off in the Starbuck's parking lot

I don't want to fight 
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight 
I don't want to fight 
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight 
I don't want to fight 
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight 
I don't want to fight 
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
