Eric Church - Faster than my angels can fly


Momma used to teach,
And Preacher used to preach,
there's angels watching over me,
their here to shield you,
so you dont yield to the devil,
when your soul gets weak,
but they're hard to hear,
when you're jammin gears,
and they're always hanging back,
yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me,
they better step on the gas,
 
 cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly

theres days i regret this hitch in my step,
and scars on my boots and hands,
all those times i rushed to get growed up,
and to hurry to become a man,
and the promises i made
and the hearts i break all in the name of fun,
yeah id apologize but i aint go no time for no tie me up slow me down love,

 cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly

yeah i slowed down, i aint what i was,
still they aint got a prayer,
of ever catching up,
cause i was born to run, born to run, born to run

yeah

faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly

Eric Church - Drink in my hand


Early monday morning and friday at five,
Man I work work work and I don't climb climb climb
Boss man can shove that over time up his can,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Fill it up or throw it down,
I got a fourty hour week with a trouble to drown
No need to complicating I'm a simple man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yea that parking lot is muddy can't get to the door,
I take my jacked up drop er down in 4x4
She don't got a long neck one with the band,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Fill it up or throw it down,
I'm about to tear a new one in this old town
5 4 3 2 1 I'll be your rocking man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Make me want to go ouuh ouhhh when you dance like that,
You got that little tattoo playing peeky boo on your back
If you want to impress me honey heres my heres my plan,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Fill it up or throw it down,
When you drive me home take the long way around
I say you be my Lois Lane honey I'll be your Super Man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Listen up now, my head monday morning as that alarm clock sings,
It goes bang bang bang while it ring ring rings
Yea baby I'm ready to roll if your ready to go again,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Fill it up or throw it down,
I got a little hungover still hanging around
Yea that hair of a dog is howling hey there man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yea that hair of a dog is howling hey there man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Haaaouuhhh Yeaaa

Eric Church - Creepin'

Like a honybee beatin' on my screen door
I got a little buzz and my head and is sore
And from the my bed I can feel the sun
Lord I hear the mornin come

Justa creepin
Creepin', creepin', creepin'

You shot outta here like a bullet from a gun
A flip of a switch
A theif on the run
And since the day you left me baby
I can feel the lonely
I can hear the crazy

Justa creepin'
Creepin'
Justa creepin'
Creepin'

Head for the future
Run from the past
Hide from the mirror
Live in a glass
What dreams forget the whiskey remembers
Kinda like molasses in late December

Justa creepin'
Creepin'
Oh, creepin'

Your cocaine kiss and caffeine love
Got under my skin and into my blood
That "need you back" comes over me
Like ivy crawlin' up a hickory tree

Justa creepin'
Creepin'
Justa creepin' creepin'
Creepin'

Head for the future
Run from the past
Hide from the mirror
Live in a glass
What dreams forget the whiskey remembers
Kinda like molasses in late December

Justa creepin'
Creepin'
Ah, come on!

Break it down, down, down, down.....

Just last night I saw the light
At the end of that tunnel on the other side
Thought I found my way outta this pain
Only to find your memory train

Creepin', creepin', creepin', creepin'... ..

Eric Church - Country music Jesus


There'll be fire on a mountain

I had a revelation last night
A divine inspiration from the other side
On what it's gonna take to right all this wrong
We need a country music Jesus
To come and save us all

We need a second comin' worse than bad
Some long haired hippie prophet
Preachin' from the book of Johnny Cash
A sheep among the wolves there standin' tall
We need a country music Jesus
To come and save us all
There'll be fire on a mountain
There'll be revival and bangin' drums
There'll be screamin' and there'll be shoutin'
When my country music Jesus comes

Now we've had our believers in the past
And they gave us a message that would last
And built our house on a foundation of stone
God, send a country music Jesus
To come and save us all

There'll be fire on a mountain
There'll be revival and bangin' drums
There'll be screamin' and there'll be shoutin'
When my country music Jesus comes

There'll be fire on a mountain
There'll be revival and bangin' drums
There'll be screamin' and there'll be shoutin'
When my country music Jesus comes
When my country music Jesus comes

Eric Church - Chevy Van

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon,
she crawled in and took control.
She was tired, and her mind was dragging.
And I said get some sleep,
we'll get on down that road.

Like a picture, she was laying there,
moonlight dancing off her hair.
She woke up and took me by the hand.
She's gonna love me in my Chevy Van,
and that's alright with me.

Ya, her young face, was like that of an angel.
And her long leg's were tan and brown.
You better keep your eyes on that road, boy.
You better slow this vehicle down.

Cause like a picture, she was laying there,
moonlight dancing off her hair.
She woke up and took me by the hand.
She's gonna love me in my Chevy Van,
and that's alright with me.

Ya, I put her out in a town that was so small,
you could throw a rock from end to end.
A dirt road mainstreet,
She walked off in her barefeet.
And it's a shame I won't be passing that way again.

Cause like a picture, she was laying there,
moonlight dancing off her hair.
She woke up and took me by the hand.
We made love me in my Chevy Van,
and that's alright with me.

Ya, like a picture, she was laying there,
moonlight dancing off her hair.
She woke up and took me by the hand.
And we made love me in my Chevy Van.
We made love in my Chevy Van,
and that's alright with me.

Eric Church - Carolina

There's a cabin in a valley,
My grandpa built on your land.
Your mountains are a canvas,
For the makers hand.

Tonight I'm fishing Elk River,
If only in my mind.
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time.

I carry you in my heart
your memory comes over me like the dark and

Like a phone call from my baby,
Sayin' honey I miss ya like crazy.
Like the sound of a siren song,
Oh Carolina, ya keep callin me home.
Callin' me home.

Sometimes I grow weary,
From goin' all the time.
I love to take a minute,
Let you ease my mind.

I'd love to see my mama
Maybe go for a drive
But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight

Don't get me wrong
I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you

Callin' me home
Callin' me home
Callin' me home, yeah

Oh, oh, we're almost home

Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy
Just like the song of a siren song

Oh Carolina,
Carolina,
Carolina,
Keep callin me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home

Carolina,
Carolina,
Keep callin' me home.

Eric Church - Can't take it with you

Never realized how much she brought to the table
Till I went to sit my cup of coffee where the table use to be
No cats, no bed, no heirloom antique cradle
An' no more hope for one day startin' that family
Bet she's gainin' fast on Memphis with a trailer-load in tow
Who says you can't take it with you when you go

 Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'
An' she got away 'fore I could make it all alright
An' I got away with leavin' what needs said unspoken
Hell, I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye
Yeah, she took her heart an' took off down that road
An' they say you can't take it with you when you go

Good news is: ain't much here left for packin'
Bad news is: she left behind a million memories
All the echoes of her cryin', lovin' an' laughin'
Left me with nothin' left to do but leave
That ol' house is in the rear view: ridin' shotgun is her ghost
Who says you can't take it with you when you go

Closin' in on Dallas, now, is the best love I've ever known
An' they say you can't take it with you when you go

Eric Church - Before she does

I believe that gas is too damn high
An' there ain't nothin' more American
Than Mama's apple pie
I believe in love; I believe in peace
But I don't believe we'll ever see it
In that Middle East
I believe the Bible is cold, hard fact
An' I believe that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does

I believe the Sabbath is a day of rest
The taxman an' the Devil share the same address
I believe don't start if you're gonna quit
I believe in keep your mouth shut
An' carry a big stick
I believe that dogs are better than cats
An' I believe that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does

There's absolutely, positively
No doubt in my mind
That OJ did it; Lee Harvey didn't
An' she's really gone this time

I believe that cold, cold beer
Tastes better on a bar stool
Than it does anywhere
I believe hard work really makes the man
But everyone should wet a line every now an' then
I believe it's best to pay in cash
An' I believe that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does

There's absolutely, positively
No doubt in my mind
That OJ did it; Lee Harvey didn't
An' she's really gone this time

I believe she was a real good thing
Can you believe I let a girl like her get away?
I believe she meant it the night she packed
An' said Jesus is comin' back before she does

Before she does
Before she does

Eric Church - Ain't killed me yet

Workin' all this overtime
Is good at keepin' me occupied
Hell with the stress
It ain't killed me yet

Doctor says I gotta quit
Get on the wagon and off of them damn cigarettes
But they ain't killed me yet

Doc you probably wonder why I don't care
Why I don't change, why I ain't scared

'Cause I thought her leavin' would stop my heart from beatin'
And gettin' over her would be my death
It hurts every night
When she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of the loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet

She turned this house into a tomb
Ghosts rattle in every room
They're doin' their best
But they ain't killed me yet

So I lean on the bottle more every night
I'm probably past the point where I should give it a rest
But it ain't killed me yet

No I ain't sayin' I'll never die
but 'til I do I'm on borrowed time

'Cause I thought her leavin' would stop my heart from beatin'
And gettin' over her would be my death
It hurts every night
When she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of the loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet
It ain't killed me yet

It hurts every night
When she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet

Eric Church - A lot of boot left to fill

Get ups, Gimics,
One hit wonders that don't stick.
Pretty boys actin' tough,
boy bands, give it up.
And if it looks good on TV,
it'll look good on a CD.
Shape it up, trim it down.
Who gives a damn about how it sounds?

I don't think Waylon done' it that way.
And if he was here he'd say:
"Hoss neither did Hank."
I ain't doggin what you're doin'
but boys come on lets get real.
You still got a lot of boot left to fill.

You say you're the real deal,
but you play what, nobody feels.
You sing about Johnny Cash.
The man in black would have whipped your ass!

I don't think Waylon done' it that way.
And if he was here he'd say:
"Hoss neither did Hank."
I ain't doggin what you're doin'
but boys come on lets get real.
You still got a lot of boot left to fill.

So, so long, 'till I see you again.
When you're layin in the bargain bin. Ha.

I don't think Waylon done' it that way.
And if he was here he'd say:
"Hoss neither did Hank."
I ain't doggin what you're doin'
But then again, hell yes I am.
I just don't give a damn
Cause you still got a lot of boot left to fill

I guess we all got a lot of boot left to fill
