Lyrics

Songs We Used To Sing
(Bennett Simpson)

I call my momma on the road when I get scared,
How I’m drinking in the daytime, if only I could give a damn.
I spend my evenings with my baby on the phone,
Tell her how that city skyline ain’t like nothing back at home.

And I’ll find a reason to find a way to Tennessee,
I’ll see a Smoky Mountain sunrise before you see the death of me.

And we’ll sing the songs we used to sing,
That old New England early Spring,
I pray that she remembers all our songs.

And I’ll find a way that someday,
She can play along,
Or she can hear me through the wind,
Singing songs we used to sing.

I still wear the boots she bought me ever long ago,
Leave ‘em muddy by the doorstep, just to look like someone’s home,
And I’ve seen California, San Diego ain’t my scene,
Damn, them little bar performers play the songs she taught to me.

And they’re singing songs we used to sing,
That old New England early Spring,
I pray that she remembers all our songs.

And I’ll find a way that someday,
She can play along,
Or she can hear me through the wind,
Singing songs we used to sing.

I’ll find a reason to find a way to Tennessee,
No I ain’t been home in years, but she’s the only home I’ve seen.

And we’ll sing the songs we used to sing,
That old New England early Spring,
I pray that she remembers all our songs.

And I’ll find a way that someday,
She can play along,
She can hear me through the wind,
Singing songs we used to sing,
Songs we used to sing.
