"Jersey Giant" lyrics
"Jersey Giant"
(originally by Tyler Childers)
I remember all them summers
Playing 'til my fingers bled
You'd sing the songs and I'd sing with you
And we'd get drunk and go to bed
Looking back on all them memories
Lord, I hate to sleep alone
But if you ever get the notion
That you need me, let me know
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
Need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than the socks on a jersey giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
I remember all them winters
Drinking Woodford 'til we drowned
And we'd get word there was a party
Bundle up and go to town
I miss those nights of reckless glory
And I'd come back if you'd just call
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
Need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs we used to sing
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than the socks on a jersey giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
I left town when we were over
'Cause it did not feel the same
Every backroad had a memory
And every memory held your name
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
Need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs we used to sing
That one about the lady in the long black veil
Should have seen the warning signs
Lord, I love to hear you wail
High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than the socks on a jersey giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon

Wilderado - "Surefire" I can feel it in the future
I can see it in the culture
I see the moon as a sunrise
See the stars with my morning eyes
Like a bear in the forest
Like the heat in the conscience
I take a walk through...
Sons Of The East - "California" Left my home long ago
To get out of California
The bird she hides, the other side
And I thought, I thought I saw her
Broken homes, rattled bones
White dust from before
Now I know what I've got
What...
Josh Meloy - "You Here Tonight" I bet you're living in the city, never thinking of me
And I bet you fill the spot I used to be
Bet you're doing just fine out on your own

I bet...
Bella White - "Not To Blame" It's hard to watch you look away from me
Though I know I'm not to blame
The rivers thawed but you're still frozen
The words I write to you are still the same
Why do you always get to be the child?...

Painting houses, getting by
I read that book just like they said
Tried my best to raise the dead
But there's cracks in the walls in every room
Sweating and bleeding just like...
