Lukas Nelson: “Born Runnin’ Outta Time” (2025)
On “Born Runnin’ Outta Time”, Lukas Nelson, who’s been making records with his band Promise of the Real and/or performing in his dad Willie’s band for about a decade and a half, wonders if his best years were given to the road life of a musician.
It’s about the inevitable sacrifices made in the pursuit of one’s ambitions.
Songwriters talk about a lyric that “sings well”. This song’s syllables roll along like a smooth ride on a newly paved highway. It “sings” extremely well.
