    Our Latest and Greatest. Nine songs written over the past 3 years.

    “...the nine tracks on Silver Lining cohere organically while donning their cap at different regional influences, calling to mind everything from voluptuous Strangers Almanac-Whiskeytown to 6-String Drag spit-and-grit” Charlotte Viewpoint

    “…a classic country-rock effort built on lonesome pedal steel, earnest delivery, shuffles and waltzes with complementary guitar picking that adds color and texture with echoes of Drive-By Truckers, Ryan Adams, and Fleetwood Mac.” Courtney Devores, Charlotte Observer

    “Their latest is a collection of toe-tapping, foot stomping twang that will have any listener bobbing their head midway through the chorus. Their ability to blend each individual style – never letting one outshine the other – is alive and well…” Kelli Raulerson, CLTure.org

    “Pullman Strike is a sextet bringing you a wonderful mash up of indie, stoner rock and Americana. Their latest album features heartfelt love songs alongside gut-wrenching melodies about loss and loneliness” Jenny Lou Bennett, Shutter 16

    Includes unlimited streaming of Silver Lining via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Easy Lyin' 03:46
Where have you been? This town ain't what it was, since you left. And I can't walk the streets and not see you by my side, holding on. Where might you have been? I saw you standing on the road with him- and I could of cried out, but it would have been a worthless cry Easy Lyin. It's easy lyin to you. Holding on, Holding on to pasts I've known I'd be telling a lie if I said that I had no regrets Where might I have been? I was hiding out in the basement wasting all my precious time it was always such a worthless lie Easy Lyin. It's Easy Lyin It's easy lyin to you.

Get Loud 03:32
Well I don't know about you, but it's the waiting around that burns me out It seems that every sound I make comes out a little too loud Too loud to say Well you said it yourself There's nothing gold in me not even a silver lining I'm just mad at the all the suits and ties it's the power struggle that I despise Let's get loud Let's get loud tonight We should be out on the sea, floating freely If we're all tied down what's the point in dreaming? Let's get loud Let's get loud tonight! Well there's nothing wrong with me I don't believe the things you think I don't need your eyes to say I float by so freely, let's get loud Let's get loud tonight!

I wish you could see things differently you're just like our father, your mind's always on yourself think about someone else. he gave you what you need and a big ole house and left me wondering how I drove him away at such a young age I always knew you'd follow in his foot steps with a suit and tie trading money for lies An illegitimate kid by a poor young girl who grew up and showed me the world said "watch out for those like your father" He erased all the legal proof to hide his sin from the world to keep that government job from slipping away, he'll do whatever it takes At least my mother taught me things a father should have, because I'm too much of a man to bring his sin to the light of day. We're brothers, you see. But we're not the same. You were prized and chosen, I was cast away But I got all I need, I don't need yours or his sympathy I make an honest living without that government money So tell daddy when you see him that it's a loosely held name that I sleep just fine leading a true mans life oh yea, i sleep just fine leading a true mans life

Time 03:19
Time goes by slowly all these creeping clocks, they tick and tock and the minutes dance into days Time moves so slowly The day stops and the room gets quiet minute by minute i wait for the chime loneliness lives by a watch as the days turn into years loneliness but keep your eyes on the clock untill all your time is gone So much time has passed right by me but it don't just pass by it slithers over your shoes while you sit and try and watch that hour hand move loneliness lives by a watch as the days turn into years loneliness has me watching the kitchen clock until all my time disappears

Suitcase 04:47
The sun sets at dinner time the ghosts come out to play You wrestle with the crippling thoughts of yesterday What kind of a man do you make of this who do you think he'd be To put you out with the butt of his heel and not even feel a thing With your nails cracked and bloody you're reaching for the side Of this tangled web of thoughts this war you call your mind But you don't know you're a pawn In this game of keeping you right where you think you belong That was all a lie you believed I don't ever want to see you leave So take your time and come back on your own I'll be right where I was If my hair was gold and my eyes were a lighter shade of blue I think I'd have a better chance of being known I'd be a shoe-in for getting some love from you Tonight I'm leaving and I don't know why With a suitcase full of nothing, but hand-fulls of time Well a many a man would search his soul out on this lonesome road But tonight I'm driving for driving's sake with nowhere to go That was all a lie you believed I don't ever want to see you leave So take your time and come back on your own I'll be right where I was

Not sure where we should go throw a dart at the map I'll roll us a couple of smokes and we'll burn them down There's nothing worse than hiding from the sunshine Stand up tall, what are you so afraid of High on society to give us wings to fly My friends pills you share will leave you mute and blind It ain't yet my time to find a home. There you were hanging out on the other side of town Your new friends they don't come around Nothings worse than hiding from the sunshine Stand up tall, what are you so afraid of? High on society to give us wings to fly My friends pills you share will leave you mute and blind It ain't yet my time to find a home I was waiting on you to come back around but you disappeared to another town Nothings worse than hiding from the sunshine Stand up tall, what are you so afraid of? High on society to give us wings to fly My friends pills you share they'll leave you mute and blind It ain't yet my time.

Tounge Tied 04:16
Tongue tied at the moment, can't seem to recall What was said that evening, who was on the phone There's a man on the corner, says he comes here a lot To see the important people, as they vie for a spot Going back to the start now, this time it's me Who's gonna wanna come and level with you baby Yeah and make it all clean Now there's talking of leaving, going to try and jump town They say we're damned if we don't, well I don't wanna find out Looking back to see where we started Where we've come, where we're headed for All this time that you thought was wasted, turns out it's not You can't understand all this running just because it never led you home Well this time it's a breeze don't you worry, just take it from me.

Friend 05:02
Running over different plans I had, all the big ones fell through you were hanging on to me, but I had nothing left for you. Pictures of our time together sit atop my dresser next to my last couple of dollars and eviction letter My sweet sweet friend, how I wish I could love you back My long long lost friend, how I miss the time we had. Now i sit in this mill-workers home, watching the rain fall of the porch I swear I can still hear you saying I love you more And I tried to stick around like a true lover should but babe, I had to get going, you know I've always been misunderstood. My sweet sweet friend, how I wish I could love you back My long long lost friend, how I miss the time we had.

Looking forward to finding you a thousand miles from home With your hair up in a mess, your stuff packed up in boxes You're broke and tired, no money wired, your mama hasn't called I think it's time that you come home I don't know why you had to go and play with my heart Treating it like it's going to be there no matter what I'm just as tired, I can't get hired, I'm feeling all alone Won't you hop this plane to Charlotte and come home You and I look good side by side And all you can do is look the other way But I did try to mend this broken life And it made a good man out of me You came you went you swore that there was nothing like it But you didn't wait to see 'cause time will tell, you don't have to come home darlin' But you do have to call home You came you went you swore that there was nothing like it But you didn't wait to see 'cause time will tell, you don't have to call me darlin' But you do have to call home
