From the recording The Sun Coming In
Lyrics
Those steel toed boots your daddy wore behind the press on the factory floor
Are shoes you’ll never fill
Roots buried in the ground that brought him comfort and kept him bound
Will never hold you I could always tell
So grab your guitar fire up that Chevrolet
Go play your songs for all the sinners and the saints
This town is gonna break you if you stay
So kiss me goodbye and let me cry while I watch you fly away
Boys round here like fixin’ cars and drinking beer at Billy’s bar
every Friday night
They all say they’ll miss your face and your stories lighting up this place
But that them working gloves they never fit you right
So grab your guitar fire up that Chevrolet
We’ll all have another round and call it a day
We’ll still be here when you come back this way
So raise your glass high say goodbye while we watch you fly away
If you don’t go you’ll never know all that you are
It’d be like keeping a butterfly inside a jar
So grab your guitar fire up that Chevrolet
Go sing your songs for all the sinners and the saints
Life will disappoint you if you stay
So kiss me goodbye and let me cry while I watch you fly away
Yeah kiss me goodbye and let me cry while I watch you fly away
