Cypress Key

Lyrics

Yeah, it's not raining today
So I'm heading out on my bike
All the boys are waiting around
For a football game and a fight
Oh no, It never ended well
But it gave me stories to tell to this day
Memories don't fade away

Empty churchyard at the corner
Never seemed like anyone there
One neighborhood vs the other
I don't think either of us cared
But now
The churchyard is closed
Make memories in other ways
Gonna find a way, that's what I say




Ohhhh but one thing stayed the same
The fabric of the city never changed
No matter how far away
No matter how many there are
Gotta get home in time cuz
Mama's been cooking on a Monday afternoon




Going home battered and bruised
Kicking rocks like I just don't care
I knew dinner was waiting
And a family always there
Oh no, Daddy always told me
Don't let em pass the post
What the hell did he mean?
That's my old man ornery and mean

Gotta get my butt back home
Dinner is almost done
Mama's been cooking all day
Got the beans in the pot homespun
Oh no, matter how bad it was
No matter what went down
My family was there
And the day is done




Ohhhh but one thing stayed the same
The fabric of the city never changed
No matter how far away
No matter how many there are
Gotta get home in time cuz
Mama's been cooking on a Monday afternoon
