Mannequin Vanity Records and MohaviSoul are happy to announce more new music from MohaviSoul. Here is the first single from MohaviSoul from their new upcoming album “MohaviSoul.” This is their first album since the 2021 release of their award-winning Stories and Memories. In this MohaviSoul tale, Randy Hanson repaints an old expression “Hurry Up and Wait” originally from the U.S. military during WWII into a new picture of our fast-paced and jammed modern living. We can all relate to this in so many ways. We all need to just take a moment now to be together before we all perish and head for the Pearly Gates.
lyrics
Hurry Up and Wait By Randy Hanson (Key of D)
Published by MohaviSoul Music (BMI), Copyright 2023
Mandolin Intro
Verse 1
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get
Runnin’ for a train, and missed my jet
Paying my dues, in this waitin’ game
The more things change, they stay the same
Verse 2
Kids in bed, and back to work
Gettin’ faster, is a world of hurt
Job keeps movin’, rent went up
Hard luck’s hittin’, I’m all fed up
Chorus
Hurry Up and Wait, But don’t you dare be late
Hurry Up and Wait, Gotta win that human race
So Hurry, Hurry, (Hurry Up and Wait)x2
<Banjo break >
Verse 3
Spinning my wheels up all night
Gridlock got me holdin’ tight
Leavin’ town, gonna hit the trail
Check for my postcard in the mail
Chorus
<Fiddle break >
Verse 4
Let’s go where our songs unravel
Down that road, road less traveled
Make some time to be together
Don’t blame lonely on stormy weather
Chorus
Outro Refrain
But will it matter at the pearly gates?
If you Hurry, Hurry, (Hurry up and Wait) x2
Outro to Fade
