Franklin

(album: These Are The Days - 2018)

I miss the salad bar of Ruby Tuesdays
Driving down the Natchez Trace
Walking through the broccoli trees
In Franklin, Tennessee
I miss the thunder rustle the leaves
The train that rolled down Mercy street
The laughter in the twisted sheets
In the middle of the day

You fold your arms and cross your legs
A distant look upon your face
The fighting was a sad disgrace
Of who we were

I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart
Broken heart, broken heart
I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops
Until the pain is lost and you can face
The world again, my friend, yeah

I miss the television in the bedroom
Binging on the Game of Thrones and
Eating ice cream with no bowl
And sleeping in till 10
I miss the pounding rain and pounding hearts
The sentences you'd start and stop
The dayswe'd never leave the house
And hide ourselves away

You fold your arms and cross your legs
A distant look upon your face
The fighting was a sad disgrace
Of who we were

I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart
Broken heart, broken heart
I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops
Until the pain is lost and you can face
The world again, my friend

Ooh, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

I know your parents drove you to religion
And that's what got your mind a-drinking
But lately I can't help but thinking
That I should set you free

I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart
Broken heart, broken heart
I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops
Until the pain is lost and you can face
The world again, my friend

(I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart)
Yeah, my friend
(I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart)
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you baby
(I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart)
I'm hold you in my arms now honey
(I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart)
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you baby, mmh
