Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road, too

There's a reason all them boys back when sang the 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'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 you'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
