Lovesick homesick
sick of the road too
There's a reason
all them boys back
when sang the blues
Please don't ask me
how these last years went
Mama I made a million
dollars on accident
Well I was supposed
to die a military man
Chest out too far
with a drink in my hand
But I've got folks
who like hearing me rhyme
I think of thunder
under metal roofs
all the time
Why's everyone acting
like they ain't human
Take me back to green
grass and knowing
what I'm doing
'Cause I just need
a friend right now
Sitting close until
the daylight's out
It ain't been my week
it ain't been my year
And I hate to admit
I just need you here
So close your eyes
Do you think of when
he's younger
Won't you rest your mind
Smell that
northern thunder
So close your eyes
I pray you see
those memories
The way this life
blackens all the things
you used to be
So close your eyes
Do you think
when he's younger
Rest your mind
and smell that
northern thunder
Won't you close your eyes
Think of what
this used to be
The way this life
blackens all your
younger memories
Lovesick homesick
sick of the road too
There's a reason
all them boys back
when sang the blues
