Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road too There's a reason all them boys back when sang blues And 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 hearin' me rhyme I think of thunder under metal roofs, all the time
Why's everyone actin' like they ain't human? Take me back to green grass and knowin' what I's doin' 'Cause I just need a friend right now Sittin' 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 you 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 blues
