Long Sleeves


All night long thunder calls
Can‘t get away from here
Songbirds callin‘ fire keeps fallin‘
Ain‘t no use in fear

Every night it comes back to me
Everything I‘ve seen

Don‘t ask why, I‘ve seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I‘ve seen women cry
My momma always said, to wear long sleeves

Push through the sand, word in my hand
Drop of water for my soul
Make daddy proud, can‘t let him down
God I gotta get back home

Every night it comes back to me
Everything I‘ve seen

Don‘t ask why, I‘ve seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I‘ve seen women cry
My momma always said, to wear long sleeves.
