Be On Time (Official Video)

The forces of Evil and Justice converge at a snowy chapel in the mountains of New Mexico, where Texas Red and his femme cult band The Red Hand Gang await the hand of Fate… and an Arizona Ranger journeying through the harsh winter to confront the gang leader in a dramatic final reckoning. “Be On Time” is the debut solo release for Patton Magee, founding member, songwriter and singer of rock’n roll group The Nude Party. Shot entirely on 16mm film in the Catskills Mountains of New York in January of 2025. BE ON TIME Music & Lyrics by Patton Magee (Be On Time) Arizona Ranger with you I’ve picked no bone So why you come here to my home? (Be On Time) I’m not the devil, man, I’m just a man And you don’t know what guides our hands (Be On Time) Cathedral Square and meet me straight beneath the tower Where the church bell rings upon the hour (Be On Time) Some call me cruelty, some call me fate At any rate, just don’t be late It’s cold out in the country It’s cold down in the mines It’s cold in Agua Fria in the wintertime Be on time to meet your maker Be a man and stand your ground Don’t make death come chase you down Be On Time (Be On Time) Every step you make was always made to take you here To meet me at the chapel gates (Be On Time) For whom the bell tolls I believe it tolls for thee But that’s up to God, not you or me It’s cold out in the country It’s cold down in the mines It’s cold in Agua Fria in the wintertime Be on time to meet your maker Be a man and stand your ground Don’t make death come chase you down It’s cold out in the cities Like it’s cold down in the mines It’s cold in Arizona in the wintertime I’ll be on time to meet my maker Be a man and stand my ground I don’t need you to chase me down I’ll Be on Time...

Born in Texas to Louisiana parents and raised in constant transit alongside nine brothers and sisters, Patton took in the United States through the backseat window of their GMC Savannah passenger van as his family moved from the Gulf Coast to the San Francisco Bay, then the Rocky Mountains and finally the Carolinas. Attending college in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Patton co-formed rock’n roll band The Nude Party with his new college classmates. Soon he found himself traveling those same highways around America for the next 12 years. Trading that GMC Savannah for a Chevrolet Van, he penned a minor hit that took the band across the country and Europe many times, opening tours for Jack White, The Arctic Monkeys, and Orville Peck, and taking the stage at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits. Finally settled a while in New York City, the ultimate respite for all the world’s transients, he is breaking into a new world of Country-Western Americana Rock’n Roll with a true traveler’s voice - invoking the Arizona desert gunfighter ballads of Marty Robbins, the NYC quick fix literary hits of Lou Reed, slinky bayou sounds of Dr John, and center of the USA rock & roll rapscallion-ism of Chuck Berry. Well equipped with timeless tales of heartbreak, death, and dilemma, Patton’s latest stake on songwriting is a fresh buffet of many Americas touching on one plate. #rock #countrywestern #altcountry #folksong #folkmusic #folk #music #rockandroll #newmusicvideo #musicvideo #country #newmusicalert #newmusicrelease #newmusicfriday #americana #folkrock #countrymusic #rdr #thenudeparty #thegrowlers #georgejones #spindrift #rogermiller #western #cowboy #outlawcountry #newwest #northcarolina #texas #newyork #newyorkcity #brooklyn #sierraferrell #charleycrockett #sturgillsimpson #tylerchilders #colterwall #margoprice #nikkilane #nekocase #wilco #calexico #mjlenderman #drivebytruckers #purplemountains #jasonisbell #justintownesearle #thejayhawks #ryanadams #lucindawilliams #gillianwelch #thehandsomefamily
