FRANKLIN COUNTY NIGHTS
I should prob’ly get to drinkin’
Or make my way back home
Just head out east ‘cross Ohio
Sinkin’ like a stone
But I left those hills behind me
When I wandered in to town
Those city lights burned brighter then
So much colder now
You gotta know the shape I’m in
You hang on the arm of a lesser man
Too late to say I’m sorry now
Truth be told I never am
I never am
And we just weren’t much for sleepin’
On those Franklin County nights
That apartment lit like kindlin’
Under the fire in your eye
We were drownin’ in Black Label
To forget our old sweet past
And we put on “Bonfire In A Dixie Cup”
And laid out in the grass
You gotta know the shape I’m in
You hang on the arm of a lesser man
Too late to say I’m sorry now
Truth be told I never am
I never am
