Church, Eric - Monsters Lyrics
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light
I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed

Church, Eric Monsters Comments
Amen! No Truer Words Could Be Sung or Said. Eric Church nailed this one with every lyric. Keeping The Faith, Turning On The Lights As Often....As I Can. Hitting My Knees, and Making Sure My Prayers Are Said. 🙏🌈❤Thibodeaux Chasity
I listen to this song every morning i loveeeee it
My favorite song
Is it just me, or did he miss a real opportunity here. He could have kept the first verse then went on about the real monsters in life. It could have been much akin to George Jones' "Choices."
Just to be clear, I still like the song. I just feel there was an opportunity to make it something special.
this song kinda reminds me of leo valdez from the heroes of olympus by rick riordan
This song hits different after learning he wrote it after the Vegas shooting..
I LOVE this song. I love it because it reminds me that god is where you need to turn when you you are having a bad day or you had a nightmare
I think him and Luke got something going about these monsters
There shall not an hair of your head perish. That's the promise the monsters can't harm us.
Love love love this song
Felt that.
the best artisst he is a legend he says alot more than yuo think he does
Love your voice
Love this so true
The monsters are out there feeding feeding on us .
This is kickass country.
God bless the chief
MONSTERS
Are not there
But your save
My new truning on the light
Have my fright
Plz look in my
ANYMORE
Knees
I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed!!
Love this song 💖💖
Country better than my other music and they are good and I been country all my life
Love this so true
Yes it is I'm Benjamin and you
I love this song😂😂
So much love for this! Amen.
I killed a 13 point when was 7
Love it best
I thought the monsters were underneath the bed too. Then I saw the real monsters..
ERIC OH MY!!!! I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOO MUCH. THANK YOU... I VOTE NO.1. REALLY THANKS FOR SHARING.. ANEN AMEN AMEN.😎🎶🎶✌👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤💙💔IM POOR BUT I WOULD SAVE TO GO AND SEE YA LIVE. GOD BLESS
Best song yet buddy
The lyrics and music are very pretty, but "in tact" and "said" do not rhyme. They never will and it sounds silly AF the way he pronouces them.
Effnine66 just got off the phone with the chief and he looked at your comment and said
Fool, that ain’t it
LOVE YOU BRO
And anymore when a restless feeling keeps me up at night, Fallin' on my knees, is my new turning on the light. I keep my faith intact. And make sure my prayers are said. Cuz I've learned that the monsters ain't the one's beneath the bed. 🎵💖
monsters, aoc, talib, well they are monsters against u.s.a ! so sad and true.
He makes.amazing songs :)
Truth! I've met monsters in person & they weren't beneath my bed. The worst: One was a pastor and one heralded as "woman of the year" & ED of an Assisted Living in GA. The evil within both devastated many, went completely unnoticed by others, & left their marks on me. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Still don't know why these monsters crossed my path, but thank God that He protected me & gave me insight in both situations. Most thankful their evil didn't destroy my faith or belief in God... strong foundation since childhood. God is good, faithful, & like a good Daddy, when asked, He handles the monsters in your life. Ever grateful!
Great writing Eric Church! His songwriting is heads & shoulders above most & a gift!
From the sole from the heart there is you. ✌ OUT
Damn good song Eric keep speaking from your heart brotha
awesome song i remember as a child my dad would calm my fears of the monster's beneath the bed. In a calming voice he would tell me those were not the monster to be afraid of. it's the living ones you see every day.
So true
This song makes me think. It makes me dig deeper into my soul. It’s the good song that will never get old, because you can always relate to it and understand the lyrics. This song is my song. Makes me feel like a kid again thinking of the monster under my bed. And it makes me think of the real world monsters not the ones under our beds.
The chief has done it again.Mind blowing.
hey I am a fan
How am I just hearing this today???
Same here
Legit same
Me too, I'm Benjamin
He is the absolute best! Total original. Old school twang. Nothing like him. Underappreciated as all greatness is.
This song has an awesome spiritual message with some creative instrumentals. This song kicks ass.
great job on this one
hmm I think I like this song💕💕💕I don't like it I love it
Another great song by Eric Church.. no surprise!
The monsters aren't beneath the ones beneath the bed
So true ...
Just heard this song on the radio...now I have to just listen to it 50,000 more times🖤🖤🖤 and all will be right in my world💯
I believe this is about as good as new country is gonna get to real country
What an amazing song! Eric Church proves once again why he's a badass. My son will be 3 weeks old In 3 days and this reminds me of my son and even myself as a child.
lol, my only question, who ARE the ones beneath his bed?
He is talking about the devil and all of the bad spirits thats why hes talking about praying
He just doesnt want the devil to overcome him
Monsters
This is the stuff
I can't relate to monsters underneath your bed bcz I grew up sleeping on the top of a bunk bed😆😂
Best song ever!!!
It’s funny the ones who backstabbed me at my previous job are now more miserable at their job and work less hours. I know this because I don’t see them to much anymore and one who I confronted she seemed irritable and miserable wanted nothing to do with the company. Well I left best decision I ever did.
This is a good Christian song
Other humans are the monsters. The ones with bad intentions.
Me just chilling on the roof listing to this song
This wonderful Tune deserves way more Clicks. I just totally love it :D!!!
The real monsters are in the medicine cabinet, not being funny real shit.
The monsters call themselves politicians...
We all should be fighting them!
Bahahaha
That's crazy people work their asses off to have nice things people can't leave stuff alone
when i first heard this song i thought the monster he first killed, i thought it was a buck xD
100% country
awesome song keep singing. best country song

Rock with good lyrics and country. A great rebuttal to the classics

Eric does not get the credit. This dude stays true to country and true to himself
This song is unbelievable! I cant listen to it enough.
I love this song I keep coming to listen to it and it never gets old
Amazing
Truer word were never spoken.
I’m gonna get this stuck in my head 🤣🤣🤣 in a good way
This is a deep metaphorical allegorical spiritual message. The musical creativity kicks butts too. Great song, Love it!
My brother 4 years older changed my diapers and taught me to go without them(potty), poor kid. But he’s my hero, killed all the monsters and kept me safe. Plus made the best peanut butter and jam sandwich’s
Should of been a number 1 song and probably would of been If the radio stations would play it like they do Luke Bryant, Blake.
The monsters are people that act like your friends
Oh my gosh I love this song so much my favorite song of this year
Best concert I ever went to love the chief
Great song from a great artist!! Chief is one of the best out there!!! You can listen to a full album from him and like every song!! Not very many other artist like that these days! Keep it up Chief!!
Favorite Country Song Ever
I've learned that the monsters are the ones that say they love us. And lay beside us in bed.
I don't think Eric Church has a genre of music, he's just his own unique lane.
10/11/19 1:29 cant avoid em all.
Is there anybody out there that can't relate to this song!! Eric Church writes and sings real country songs about real country people.
Do you hear it in 2019? Like it so it turns blue ...
👇
Awesome song and a lot of truth in the lyrics.
Just heard this on pandora had to hurry an hear it again on here!
He might be the closest thing to Waylon Jennings our generation has. His outlaw spirit combined with Willie Nelson's songwriting and Springsteen's heartland Rock sound make him unique. This is the gem of the entire album
