"DO IT FAST"
Tim: “Do It Fast” is probably one of my favorite songs off this EP and it’s about just that— going big (or go home). It’s being the ball of fire at the finish line. I wrote it with my friend David Lee Murphy and Michael Wilshire, paying tribute to my friend Travis Pastrana and one of my hometown heroes from Butte, Montana— Mr. Evil Knievel. So, for all those people that aren’t afraid to go fast, this one is for you.

"GET EM UP "
Tim: “Get Em Up!” – brand new track I wrote with Micah Wilshire and Erik Dylan. This is a hard hittin’ “rock and roll guitar is back”…sounds like Steve Earle with a Marshall stack, man. It is for the unbridled spirit, the rowdies, the crazy…there’s even a shout out to the Carhartt girls! Check it out!
-
“BAR BAND”
Tim: “Bar Band” is one of my favorite songs on the album. This one we wrote probably a year ago—it’s my wife's favorite as well. I sent it to Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters... he responded with a quote “dude, that's a hit song!” Here's “Bar Band,” I even name drop my man John Prine in it.
-
"RIVER KIDS"
Tim: “River Kids” is a very personal song to my heart. Growing up in Montana, we spent so much time on the Big Hole River, and the Jefferson and Madison and I wanted to capture that essence of my childhood. I wrote it with Michael Wilshire and Eric Dillon. It brings me back home and man, I wish I could be back on that river.

“DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT”
Tim: “Doing Everything Right” –a fun summertime jam. It’s got, you know, flavors of Tom Petty in there. This song is about a guy that can't get anything right but he's got a woman that loves him and he doesn't know why or how but he's grateful! “Doing Everything Right!”
-
“DON’T WAIT UP ON ME”
Tim: “Don’t Wait Up On Me”—guys, this one is fun. We got a little banjo in there and a little rap section which is really cool. Talking about snakeskin boots up on the dash. Don't wait up 'cause I'm probably not coming home… don't wait up on me!
-
“GONE LOOKS BETTER”
Tim: “Gone Looks Better”…another one of my favorites. I don’t do a lot of heartbreak songs but this is it. I mess with my wife all the time and say “you know the lyrics of the song are gone looks better on you than it does on me” but I'm like “if you leave, gone is going to look better on me,” and then we argue back and forth over who gone is going to look better on. “Gone Looks Better.”
-
"STRONGER THAN YOU"
Tim: “Stronger Than You” is very acoustic, very rootsy, very real. It’s really a breakup song about a man out there just kind of wandering around looking for something stronger than that girl that left him (or the girl he left). My favorite line is “coming down the mountain, feeling empty as the jar.” I wrote it with Josh Thompson and Brandon Kenny. “Stronger Than You,” old boy!
-
“LONG SHOTS”
Tim: “Long Shots” is the title track from the album. “Long Shots!” This is about, you know…me! It’s a long shot that I'm alive at this point… it's a long shot that I have a wife that puts up with me and children that listen to what I say… and it's just a shout out to the underdog; nice guys finish last and here’s “Long Shots!”
-
"CARS ON BLOCKS"
Tim: “Cars on Blocks” is another one of my favorites. I’ve been trying to write this song for five years and finally found it with a handful of writers down in South Carolina. It’s about Montana where I grew up. We still have axels on our trailer house and we always have a car on blocks just in case you need parts in the driveway. I’ve got my Uncle Randy on there (he’s a real person), I’ve got my friend Blackfoot Tom on there (another real person). It’s just a real song about growing up in the country. "Cars On Blocks."
-
'BE A COWBOY"
Tim: “Be a Cowboy” is now the song on CBS any time you see pro bull riding on television, you'll hear that in the background. It’s paying homage to the cowboy, the bull rider. I grew up wearing a cowboy hat on a ranch without electricity but I don't consider myself the level of cowboy that some of these guys from Montana do so check it out! "Be A Cowboy."
-
"TO AN END"
Tim: “To An End” there isn’t a better song to end a body of work like this. We used a lot of deep lyrics in this one, you know, I kind of channeled my inner Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash singing this and writing it. Maybe it's about a bender I was on at some point or maybe it's about a bender someone else was on but it's a deep song… very Americana vibes and my co-writer Brit sang the backgrounds. Super cool! “To An End.”
