Devin Townsend - Heatwave Lyrics






Well, heatwave can't wait on the getaway
They hit me with the honey
Canada, I want to go home
But I gotta keep rollin'

So I honk-tonk prattle-on
Hit 'em with a coffee bomb
Boys gotta make a happy home
So let's keep rollin'

Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin' now
Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin'
It's time distilled in me

Well, I swing through a capillary
Got some trouble with the down-town fellas
While heading for the money hole
Better keep rollin'

So I sink our money in a little rock and roll
Try to keep checking when it's quittin' time
I wanna go home
Go so slow

Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin' now
Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin'
It's time distilled in me

Well it's all the stars won't fall on me
Time keeps rollin' on

Well tell it to the King
I'm wanna be headin' home to Canada
A little bit o' sugar for the honey all alone
I'm on the road

And I hate to have to tell it
So I'm never gonna tell it
Hypocrite'll tell ya that
You're better off to take it all home
But you gotta keep rollin'

Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin' and
Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin' now
Sweet mornin' rain
On the freeway
In the evenin'
It's time distilled in me

Can only walk the line

  1. B.... ?....

    Ok, now I love country

  2. B.... O....

    Eddie Rabbitt(Drivin My Life Away) wants his residuals.

  3. R.... H....

    Won’t be seeing this on CMT.

    Thank God, DTP doesn’t need that bad press.

  4. A.... R....

    good song for a carshow

  5. M.... P....

    This is one of my favourite songs right now

  6. R.... H....

    this is the most fun song ever <3

  7. M.... R....

    This song deserves much more recognition, it's fucking amazing... and I hate country songs! (which aren't sang by Devy of course)

  8. S.... T....

    Hat game is on point.

  9. u.... ....

    One of the best voices in rock music ever!!!!!!

  10. u.... ....

    Magnificent. Devin is my new hero, big time!!!!!

  11. M.... ....

    Everybody on bass for this song

  12. A.... S....

    Put him on any stage, let him sing any song, he rocks!

  13. R.... A....

    I was beyond happy when this got played, one of my fave live shows I've ever attended.

  14. p.... ....

    Dave Young looks like Bray Wyatt in that hat!

  15. T.... ....

    I love how much fun is in this video.

  16. A.... ....

    I love how one of the biggest metal heads in the world can make a kick ass country song, but I would like to see any country act create a kick ass heavy metal song. Not gonna happen!

    A.... ....

    It's weird, because Devin is so musically gifted with different genres...that I wouldn't even really label him as a "metal head". From doing metal, country, ambient, pop metal, pop rock.......He just kinda does what he is feeling at that particular moment in time. He writes his music to the emotions that he is feeling, and that is a huge reason (IMO) why his music is so powerful.

    A.... ....

    Country musicians tend to be incredibly good musicians, they could easily accomplish metal. Unfortunately they generally prefer not to.

    A.... ....

    Look up Assjack. Its Hank Williams III's metal band, pretty awesome stuff.

  17. C.... ....

    Anyone hear the similarity between this and Eddie Rabbit's "Driving My Life Away". (verse melody)

    C.... ....

    Almost same lyrics....I think it was satire....probably why it wound up a B side.

  18. T.... E....

    Holy fUck dave looks like Bray Wyatt with that goddam hat

  19. M.... m....

    this is everything music should be. horns up Devin

    M.... m....

    Michael m. One sweet ☝️

  20. V.... A....

    He can sing anything...! Devy is just awesome.

  21. B.... P....

    Devy fans need to get this DVD. Aside from this mediocre song and the awful Lucky Animals, it is a perfect gig.

    B.... P....

    @AnonInTheMatrix
    Those are all great albums especially Physicist which is vastly underrated. But you're showing first signs of hipsterism through what you've said. I read very well between the lines.

    Doesn't mean that if you have a proper, unpretentious approach to music that you can't gradually devolve toward hipsterism. Ever been to any major music sites? Hipsters absolutely dominate on them. It's like a plague. Young kids today feel pressured to join hipster clubs in order to be accepted, not be left out. You'd be amazed how many of these fad-slaves claim that garbage such as Sigur Ros, Neutral Milk Hotel and Velvet Underground are brilliant bands.

    B.... P....

    @Benfo G What're the first signs of hipsterism? Because you're coming across as an insanely hipster 'anti-hipster'...

    B.... P....

    @AnonInTheMatrix
    You understand hipsterism extremely badly. Hipsters are never anti-hipster because they see too many similarities between themselves and hipsters, so they merely get offended if you call them that (as you reacted). They never ever go out of their way to trash hipsterism because that means making fun of their fave bands and obviously that's out of the question.

    B.... P....

    Well done guys, the first negative comment thread I’ve ever seen under a Devin video. You must be very proud

    B.... P....

    DJ Boogie i know i’m reading this now and i just can’t believe how negative this boi is

  22. B.... P....

    I don't understand why Devin's fans would vote for this lame pop song to be played - when there are DOZENS of great Devy songs that have rarely been played live. These must be the women voting, just as with Lucky Animals which is a horrible kiddie song. Women just can't handle heavy and proggy stuff. With notable exceptions, of course. Well done to the gals who don't just listen to Ki, Ghost and COC.

    B.... P....

    Man im 2 years late but get the fuck out you sexist asshole. It amazes me that a fan of such a positivity and love-spreading can be such a close minded asshat.

    B.... P....

    The word "diversity" used in music has literally nothing to do with politics you fucking lunatic.

    B.... P....

    Reading this comment section 3 years after is like walking into a ghost town, seeing bloodstains on the ground, and murmuring "Something happened here." Cheers to all the people who think this dude is wack. Listening to this song on loop from spite and because it's a good damn song by a good damn artist!

    B.... P....

    xxsDelphia and so is lucky animals

    B.... P....

    i would love to hear this song live. its fucking brilliant in a beautifully different way

  23. d.... ....

    This got to be one of cheeriest performances of DTP live

  24. V.... S....

    Trainfire with banjo would be interesting

  25. Z.... ....

    heatwave is just DTP, not CoC :) great song

    Z.... ....

    +zoomoo318 yes, DTP - Epiclouder to be exact. Nice to see a B-side shine in full glory!

    Z.... ....

    +Jordy R i wish that he could have played the mind wasp, my favorite from epiclouder

    Z.... ....

    +zoomoo318 tnx for pointing that out.. Corrected
