The Milk Carton Kids - Girls, Gather Round lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - Girls, Gather Round lyrics]
"Don't you let the lessons stop
Time ain't just hands on a clock"
That's what I'm gonna tell pop when I leave
A vision on the lonely road
It's something that I gotta know: if I can
Drive this car all on my own
I guess I'll leave my girl behind
I should have done that long ago
Sometime I'm sure the pain will go away
It wasn't working anyhow
The burners on the stove burnt out
A shame I didn't figure it out before
Girls, gather round and let
That long hair down
Sing along with me before I go
Let us have a drink and, by god
Don't let us think about the things
That we ain't never gonna know
I met a man in San Francisco
He told me he did the
Same thing fifty years ago
He left his gal behind
He sit's there in the park one
Hand is strumming his guitar
Songs he found inside a bottle of wine
I saw the same things on his face
The ones that made me race away
From everything I'd ever really known
The scare to take responsibility from
Here -and put her
There- where everyone can see
The seeds you've sown
Girls, gather round and let
That long hair down
Sing along with me before I go
Let us have a drink and, by god
Don't let us think about the things
That we ain't never gonna know
If you think about the creature that
You might have thought would teach
You that our hearts are just the
Thing right from the start
It would keep us from the worries, safe
From sound and safe from fury
Safe at home besides the ones
We know we loved
If you told me from the start that
I could never be apart from her
I'd tell you, "go to hell
Get out of my way" but I've come
Back with my tail between my legs
I didn't know the way a man can't
Be a man all on his own
Girls, gather round and let
That long hair down
I'll sing a song I learned out on the road
Let us have a drink but still, by god
Don't let us think about the things
That we ain't never gonna know
The sun is going down on
This lonesome town but
I got you here to keep my company
You ever had the feeling that
We're living for a reason?
For that reason I won't ever let you go
You ever had the feeling that
We're living for a reason?
And for that reason I won't ever let you go
Time ain't just hands on a clock"
That's what I'm gonna tell pop when I leave
A vision on the lonely road
It's something that I gotta know: if I can
Drive this car all on my own
I guess I'll leave my girl behind
I should have done that long ago
Sometime I'm sure the pain will go away
It wasn't working anyhow
The burners on the stove burnt out
A shame I didn't figure it out before
Girls, gather round and let
That long hair down
Sing along with me before I go
Let us have a drink and, by god
Don't let us think about the things
That we ain't never gonna know
