just wrote this song today,and it’s really rough. it’s about the reasons why i keep going and i felt like sharing it with all of you. it’s called “jamie”.
lyrics:
woke up cold and out of breath. some nights a roof is all that you get and i’m saying to myself “it could be worse”
we’ll drive another hundred miles. my body’s beaten down by alcohol and lies but it could be worse
cause there’s a girl in tallahassee that needed me to sing, so i did
i feel that sadness creeping in. i figure i’ll die out here, and that’s probably for the best but i’ve got friends
so i’ll drink to pass the time. call my momma up and tell her i’m alive and i miss home
but mom, there’s that girl in tallahassee that needed me to sing, so i did
we all like to pretend that what we’re doing here matters in the end, but it probably won’t
all i know is these four chords, and i know what it feels like when you can’t get off the floor. this life, it takes everything but the air left in our lungs we need to sing
and there’s a girl in tallahassee, and she needs us to sing, so we will
