Jersey Giant

I remember all them summers
Playing till 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 till 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
