Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If the trials at hand
Are really gettin' you down
We had a close call
I didn't even see it, then another one
I hardly believed it at all
[Verse 2]
And what the writers say
It means shit to me now
Plants and animals
We're on a bender when it's 80 degrees
The end of December
What's goin' on?
Only for you and me
[Verse 3]
With a showing of hands
Who's goin' back to the South?
We're hungry, next that I know
Been runnin' the blender in a lightnin' storm
Disguised as a blessin', I'm sure
[Verse 4]
And knowing ahead
There comes a fork in the road
Pants have gotta go
We are on an island on the Fourth of July
Looks like the tide is goin' home
[Verse 5]
In time I'd find
A little way to your heart
Down to the general store
For nothin' specific
Gonna wash my bones
In the Atlantic shore
Only for you and me
Written by: Benjamin Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Rob Hampton, Ryan Monroe
