record year

Eric Church

Since you turned the tables on me
I ve been steady and learnin lonely
Keepin this turntable spinnin
Everything from Jones to Jennings

Slowly plannin my survival
In a three-foot stack of vinyl
Since you had to walk on outta here
I ve been havin a record year

I bet you thought before you left
I d just sit in silence by myself
Turn this house into a jail
Dyin slow in a livin hell
But love s got a funny way of keepin score

And your leavin lit up my scoreboard
I usually make it through side A sober
All bets are off when I flip her over
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
I m havin a record year

Quarter notes and Hank s half time
Are poundin on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time
With these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone keeps me up all night

Along with Songs In The Key Of Life
I m either gonna get over you
Or I m gonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you re out there now
Doin God knows how, and I m stuck here
Havin a record year

Your leavin left me goin crazy
I m countin on a needle to save me
I drop it in the groove
And we go round and round
And down in a spiral
I guess I really oughta call and thank you

I rediscovered Red Headed Stranger
Got down with old James Brown
And found New Grass Revival
If you find your way back, I owe you a beer
For my record year

Quarter notes and Hank s half time
Are poundin on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time
With these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone keeps me up all night

Along with Songs In The Key Of Life
I m either gonna get over you
Or I m gonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you re out there now
Doin God knows how, but I m stuck here
Havin a record year
Yeah, I m havin a record year
