Them Stems - Chris Stapleton

Small town, sundown Words done got around Somethin' goin' down around here Left at the stop sign Just past the county line Bring it on, bring your own beer Back in the backwoods Got a couple real good Jars of Mountain Dew There's an old dirt road Where the good times grow And I don't know about you But it feels like one of them nights It's finally Friday, gonna get right Hay field lookin' like a runway Blow them speakers on some country Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all No closing time, don't need a last call The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights Barbed wire, mud tire Throw a pallet on the fire We've been waitin' all week Shoes on the floorboard Creek bank, dance floor Sounds like a party to me But, yeah, it feels like one of them nights It's finally Friday, gonna get right Hay field lookin' like a runway Blow them speakers on some country Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all No closin' time, don't need a last call The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights (Yeah, it feels like one of them nights) Ain't no guest list Ain't gonna miss this One we'll be talkin' about But it feels like one of them nights It's finally Friday, gonna get right Hay field lookin' like a runway Blow them speakers on some country Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout, y'all No closin' time, don't need a last call The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights Yeah, it feels like one of them nights Yeah, it feels like one of them Small town, sundown Words done got around Somethin' goin' down around here

It was a slight on my honor, so he deserved it But we're talking about the most brilliant mind this world has ever seen I've got demons running 'round in my head And they feed on insecurities I have Won't you lay your healing hands on my chest? Let your ritual clean Soak the ropes with your holy water Tie me down as you read out the words Set me free from my jealousy Won't you exorcise my mind? Won't you exorcise my mind? I want to be free as I'll ever be Exorcise my mind Help me exorcise my mind Desdemona, won't you liberate me? When I'm haunted by your ancient history Close these green eyes and watch over as I sleep Through my darkest of dreams Be the power to compel me Hold me closer than anyone before Set me free from my jealousy Won't you exorcise my mind? Won't you exorcise my mind? I want to be free as I'll ever be Exorcise my mind Help me exorcise my mind I should be thinking 'bout nothing else when I'm with you-ou With you-ou, oh-oh-oh I should be thinking 'bout nothing else when I'm with you-ou With you-ou, oh-oh-oh Your mind exists somewhere altogether different It lives in a world where feelings simply cannot be defined by words Oh, set me free from my jealousy Won't you exorcise my mind? Won't you exorcise my mind? I want to be free as I'll ever be Exorcise my mind Help me exorcise my mind Help me exorcise my mind Won't you exorcise my mind?

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us Although them again we will never, never, never trust Dem now, know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue Fling, skind, grin while dem plotting fah you True, Ah Who? Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Beware the false motives of others Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you, to you They say all the right things to gain their position Then use your kindness as their ammunition To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Why every Indian wanna be the chief? Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef Give me grief, try to tief off my piece Why for you to increase, I must decrease? If I treat you kindly does it meant that I'm weak? You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik And other African czars observing stars with war scars Get yours in this capitalistic system So many caught or got bought you can't list them How you gonna idolize the missing? To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition Even when they comin' gunnin' I stand position L known the mission since conception Let's free the people from deception If you looking for the answers Then you gotta ask the questions And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto Sick of men trying to pull strings like Gepetto Why black people always be the ones to settle March through these streets like Soweto Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas Backstabbers do this Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do It took me a little while to discover Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves A friend once said, and I found to be true That everyday people, they lie to God too So what makes you think that they won't lie to you Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them, forgive them Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them, forgive them Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meef yuh end Dem noh know wey dem do Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know Dem no konw, dem no know wey dem do

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
