Country Trailblazer JD Shelburne has announced the release of the second single “Cars and Trucks,” from his current album Neon Hallelujah. Penned by Jeremy Bussey, Jayce Hein and Jason Duke, the lyrics relate to driving to work while thinking about the person in the car next to you and what they are going through. We have all heard the stories and the lyric in the bridge is so relatable -.”We’re all living a million miles a minute, Yeah we’re all in our own little lane, Yeah we might all be a little bit different, But we’re all kinda still the same.” The new single is available on all digital music platforms now HERE
“Every person experiences this lyric daily when getting in their car or truck and driving to a destination. It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with this song; it’s real and paints a picture and that’s what makes a song. Every vehicle holds a person or family in that has a story and the second I heard this song I became glued to it and the melody but soon realized we have all lived this. I know people can relate to this and witness it daily. “We’re coming, we’re going we’re just pasting thru, we’re living in the windshield and in the rear view. We’re spinning our wheels, tryin’ not to get stuck in a long line of cars and trucks.” The video brought this lyric to life and made it real life and fans have loved it. The end of the second verse is spoken true.- “Yeah we’re running out of time, watching life go by in a long line of cars and trucks,” JD Shelburne shared.

“We’re coming, we’re going
We’re just passing thru
We’re living in the windshield
And in the rear view
We’re spinning our wheels, tryin’ not to get stuck
In a long line of cars and trucks
Burning Man, Bonnaroo, Deadheads headed to
The next show in a dust covered Van
There’s a mom behind me
with a kid in a booster seat
Man I swear they grow up so fast
We’re all on the go and we all think we know
Where we’re headed and where we’ll wind up
Yeah we’re running out of time, watching life go by
In a long line of cars and trucks
We’re coming, we’re going
We’re just passing thru
We’re living in the windshield
And in the rear view
We’re spinning our wheels, tryin’ not to get stuck
In a long line of cars and trucks
We’re all living a million miles a minute
Yeah we’re all in our own little lane
Yeah we might all be a little bit different
But we’re all kinda still the same…”
“Cars and Trucks” was recorded, engineered, and produced at Saxman Studios in Mt Juliet, TN and Mixed by Mike Proctor Spring Hill, TN.
