This one's kinda bubblegum Bob Dylan.

Singer/songwriter combining the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something
Lester is a singer/songwriter who's lyrical style has been described as "throwing a bucket of paint at a wall to see what happens." In reality, his songs are bluesy and his lyrics paint interesting pictures with unique turns of phrase. He combines the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something that might be called CountryBluesFolkRock. Originally from Maine, Lester currently lives with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is exactly like Maine... just a hell of a lot warmer.

Story behind the song
This one started out to be a Dylanesque song, but I don't really know what it wound up being. It's a little too pop for Dylan (Tom Petty again?), but it's got a screechy harmonica bit at least.
Lyrics
You know the future Comes too fast When you're looking At the past And January Comes down hard When December Drops your guard Temptation stories line the walls of every past Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass You know the night babe Is too long When somebody's Doing you wrong And the days seem All a blur When you're thinking 'bout where you were And the mothers cry in the east while the trumpets blast Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass Before our bodies Turn to dust Let's do some damage Before we rust I'll be your knight babe For a day We'll leave the kingdom In disarray Temptation stories line the walls of every past Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass You know the future Comes too fast When you're looking At the past And January Comes down hard When December Drops your guard
