Strap yourself in for a wild ride with Owen's new single 'Market Day'. It's an adrenaline filled journey, along a country back road, in his Pop's old, beat-up paint van.
The song is produced by Australian legend, Simon Johnson, and is backed by an all-star band including Liam Kennedy-Clark (keys), Shane Nicholson (guitars), Simon Johnson (bass), and Brad Bergen (drums).
Off the back of his charting single, 'That Old Hills Hoist', Owen channels nostalgic Australiana into another fun-filled country tale.
Lyrics
Riding in the van with pop,
Your white knuckles hold you down into your chair.
He floors the gas, the world flies past,
Sucking in half a gasp,
A dust cloud and your ghost left far behind.
Ridin' in the van with pop,
Takes 'bout everything you've got,
As he grinds his gearbox right through every gear.
He finds the gear, foot to the floor,
Eggs in the back are white with fear,
As you count your odds of jumping out the door.
Flyin' in the van with pop,
Takes 'bout everything you've got,
As he launches you down that country road
Up ahead you see a roo,
Terrified it flashes through,
Pop brakes, but only once it's gone
Survivin' in the van with pop,
Takes 'bout everything you've got,
It'll shave a decade right out of your life.
You get to town, God's mercy found,
You're through the door, you stumble down,
Back into the earth's so sweet embrace
