Remember Me - Upchurch

Tennessee hills get dark when the sun clocks out

And the coyotes run the hills with blood stained on their snout

And the bad guys hide in shadows, while the good guys front porch sit

And sip fire from a jug 'til they pass out on the steps

Singin', I won’t ever leave

I volunteer for what I b’lieve

In the holler, you’ll remember me

Remember me

Singin', I won’t ever leave

Cop a place in every tree

Sprinkle me in every creek

And every inch of Tennessee

Old folks in the valleys are stuck off in their ways

And the tall grass in the front yard wraps around some Chevrolet

The farm dogs cut the path, turn the dust around the ranch

And the rattlesnakes make it with the rhythm of roughnecks

Singin', I won’t ever leave

I volunteer for what I b’lieve

In the holler, you’ll remember me

Remember me

Singin', I won’t ever leave

Cop a place in every tree

Sprinkle me in every creek

And every inch of Tennessee

When the lights go out in my tatted up lid

The story of me will be told like I’m Billy the Kid

Runnin' wild through the south, not sayin' sorry for shit

Just ridin' with a pack of tobacco-spittin' crackers with fifths

With a strap on my hip and a shoulder of chips

Roll a blunt bigger than goals that people hold in the scripts

This ain’t a lullaby I’m hummin', I turn mud into gold

And when I’m gone you’ll see a ghost in the woods singin' this song

Singin', I won’t ever leave

I volunteer for what I b’lieve

In the holler, you’ll remember me

Remember me

Singin', I won’t ever leave

Cop a place in every tree

Sprinkle me in every creek

And every inch of Tennessee
