Biography:
Since the 2008 release of their debut full-length Casting Shadows Tall As Giants, the band has been gaining momentum regionally as well as nationally. The album was featured on NPR’s “Second Stage” program. "Their music has a great energy to it with some infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains." commented NPR host Robin Hilton. At Creative Loafing's 2008 Best of the Bay Awards held in Tampa, HGWT took home the Readers' Poll Award for Best Americana Act and Staff pick for Local CD of the Year.

G D
Church bells rang out in the street
Em C
For the men coming home from over sea
G D
And our town breathed a sigh of relief
C G
Like a curse had been lifted
G D
By the stand where we watched the parade
Em C
We ate popcorn and drank lemonade
G D
With the sun on our faces; we played
C G
The streets of New England
[Instrumental]

G D
I could see when he stepped off of the bus
Em C
As he made his way over to us
G D
He's not the same mas as he was
C G
Before he listed
[Pre-chorus]
C D
And she stood there alone in the door
Em C
I said "Mama, don't cry anymore.
G D
Now that daddy's come back from the war,
Em C
everything will be different"
[Verse]
G D
When the hot summer sun went down
Em C
Mama put on her green evening gown
G D
They went out, a night on the town
C G
The streets of New England
