Karaoké I Swear (To God) Tyler Childers

I only had a couple drinks last night

And a few good hits from an antler pipe

And I must admit

I had a few white lines and I don't know what all happened

I woke up in the noontime light with a poundin' head shiner on my eye

And I don't know how

And I don't know why but it feels like fierce abandon

Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and

I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well, there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight, honey honey, sleep tight

Ma, I swear I'm doin' all right but when evenin' comes around

I swear to God

Pay no mind to the words

I say 'cos they ain't no 'count anyway

I been ramblin' around and led astray by the paths that I been choosin'

Cuttin' paths like a forest fire

Pupils wider than backhoe tires

Throwin' my money on a funeral pyre

But it sure feels good abusin'

Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and

I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well, there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight, honey honey, sleep tight

Ma, I swear I'm doin' all right but when evenin' comes around

I swear to God

Band's too loud for their Bible thumpin'

Feels too good to not count for somethin'

Big Sandy rock

Sludge River roll

Goddamn

Fire in the hole

Look out, baby

I'm bound to blow

I'm bound to blow a gasket

Damn good gig good damn crowd

Good God for cryin' out loud

Comin' off stage

I was mighty proud

Then I don't know what all happened

Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and

I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well, there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight, honey honey, sleep tight

Ma, I swear I'm doin' all right but when evenin' comes around

I swear to God

I swear to God
