… I remember all them summers
Playing ’til my fingers bled
You’d sing the songs, and I’d sing with you
We’d get drunk and go to bed
… Looking back at 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 ’bout an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
The one ’bout the lady in the long black veil
… Should’ve seen the warnings 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 socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
… I remember all them winters
Drinking Woodford ’til we drowned
We’d get wind about a party
Bundle up and go to town
… Never worry ’bout the police
Never worried much at all
I miss those nights of reckless glory
I’d come back if you’d just call
… ‘Cause it’s just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back ’bout an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs we used to sing
The one ’bout the lady in the long black veil
… Should’ve seen the warnings 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 socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
… I left town when we were over
‘Cause it didn’t feel the same
Every back road held a memory
And every memory held your name
… ‘Cause it’s just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back ’bout an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs we used to sing
The one ’bout the lady in the long black veil
… Should’ve seen the warnings 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 socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
