Been busy doing collabs with Karen and Leo lately but it's finally time for a Jambrains song. It is no secret I am a big fan of The Hooters and I guess that shines through in this one. Lyrically it features (once again) the couple known from Fade and 4th Of July.
All and any input welcome.
https://soundcloud.com/jambrains/without-youI can still recall the playground
by the Wal-Mart parking lot
a browned-eyed girl with freckles
Hand in mine in our secret spot
We used to share a Mars bar
when it was all we could afford
This town was all we knew about
the world not yet explored
Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
Sitting on the railway bridge
where the trains no longer go
We watched the burning sunset
then jumped into the stream below
And later by the riverside
our jeans hung up to dry
I kissed you for the first time
beneath the starry sky
Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
You dropped out of high school
and I barely made it through
Cos who needs books and rulers
when the world's waiting for you
These days I work construction
and nights you work the bar
but our pockets are still empty
dreams only go so far
Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you
