My Morning Jacket - Golden Lyrics






Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode
Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before

Watchin' a crowd roll in, out go the lights it begins
A feelin' in my bones I never felt before

People always told me that bars are dark and lonely
And talk is often cheap and filled with air

Sure sometimes they thrill me but nothin' could ever chill me
Like the way they make the time just disappear

Feelin' you are here again, hot on my skin again
Feelin good, a thing I'd never known before

What does it mean to feel? Millions of dreams come real
A feelin' in my soul I'd never felt before

And you always told me no matter how long it holds me
If it falls apart or makes us millonaires

You'll be right here forever, we'll go through this thing together
And on Heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads

    Lyrics
    Watchin' a stretch of road,
    Miles of light explode
    Driftin' off a thing
    I'd never done before
    Watchin' a crowd roll in
    Out go the lights it begins
    A feelin' in my bones
    I never felt before...

    Mmm...people always told me
    That bars are dark and lonely
    And talk is often cheap
    And filled with air
    Sure, sometimes they thrill me
    But nothin' could ever chill me
    Like the way they make
    The time just disappear

    Feelin' you are here again
    Hot on my skin again.
    Feelin' good's a thing
    I'd never known before
    What does it mean to feel?
    Millions of dreams come real
    A feelin' in my soul
    I'd never felt before...mmmm

    And you always told me.
    No matter how long it holds me
    If it falls apart
    Or makes us millonaires
    You'll be right here forever
    We'll go through this thing together
    And on heaven's golden shore
    We'll lay our heads

  20. J.... D....

    I am the Son of Man and the Spirit of Truth, I am the one who you all know in your head as the Almighty Lord God...this song is an explanation of when I died and did not in my life. All Time Favorite of mine, I love My Morning Jacket and may God Bless You.

    Thank you for the lyrics ☺️

  25. B.... M....

    Anyone know what kind of effects they use in this song? particularly the solo part. Thanks.

  26. S.... L....

    GMO OMG ✊🏽💜

  27. K.... P....

    It sounds like "Kathy's Song", from Simon & Garfunkel. SImilar cadence.

  28. M.... S....

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets high to this music.

  29. P.... R....

    I could live forever in this song

  30. T.... R....

    I feel Golden

  31. a.... ....

    This song reminds me of summer and driving around with my dad to my grandmothers house. Lord how I miss those times

  32. H.... F....

    Marvelous and earthy sounding. New to MMJ. Heard them on American Dad reruns.

  33. F.... H....

    My Morning Jacket kicks ass

  34. J.... S....

    This was the song that got me to like My Morning Jacket.

    J.... S....

    Same here!

    J.... S....

    Bermuda highway for me

    J.... S....

    I first heard this song on a documentary about lollapalooza. They played that year, and it rained like hell during their set

    J.... S....

    19Jakob Wicker fellow deadhead!

    J.... S....

    @GuardianTyrannus II, That's intense! At least it didn't rain pigeon poop, like what hapenned to poor Kings of Leon, always felt bad that they had to deal with that crap, literally!

  35. e.... a....

    I'm here from gmo omg great documentary!

  36. l.... E....

    who came here from Amy's post on twitter?

    l.... E....

    +Nati GirlWoh ew

  37. J.... A....

    Reminds me of a train going by...

  38. t.... ....

    this song can totally turn my day around. love it ❤

  39. o.... ....

    This is kind of a hybrid of Pink Floyd and Radiohead, a real synthesis of two ages.

    o.... ....

    With a touch of the Moody Blues.

    @steve gosselin I can see all of those, and really enjoy that people mention them, so that we can all think of them in the song. I was think of Sufjan Stephens, it was really reminding me in this song, of his music and lyrics. But this song by MMJ is just terrific, really beautiful, LOVE IT!

  40. Y.... H....

    I haven't touched my guitar for 4 years. Now I'm heading to guitar center to get some strings. l can't wait to jam out.

    Love this song and band!

    Y.... H....

    Y.... H....

    You better be jammin' now, two years later

    Total break from life for 4:39. Golden

    A.... A....

    +Astro Apollo yes

    A.... A....

    +Astro Apollo I just realized this song is a lot like Ragged Wood by Fleet Foxes. They are both great bands though, perfect to listen to while travelling and going on road trips.

    A.... A....

    But much less boring

    Call me crazy, and I know I'm showing my age here, but this song reminds me of the Grizzly Adams theme song.  Puts me in a happy place from my childhood.

    First time I heard this album played it was inside a Tower Records in Dallas.  I immediately scooped it up and played the shit out of it.  GREAT album

  56. O.... ....

    As a hillbilly from Southern Ohio this music was a breath of fresh air . But MMJ got away from Kentucky and their sound got too cultured . This album captured lighting in a bottle . It always reminds me of getting off work and going to Cave Run Lake and camping for the weekend as a young twenties something . Boy's ! Get back to Kentucky !

    C'mon, man! Knuckledraggerville ain't all that! There's more to life than having to settle for marrying a toad, and ginnying up the trailer just for a possum fart. Believe me, life is far more rewarding outside the skeeter swamps, and horse poop trailways.

    The boys of My Morning get that the world AIN'T FLAT!! Golly gee, mama, there's skyscrapers, and everythang!! Not everybody can settle for the thorazine of red state snoozerville loserville... Get out of your tiny world sometime, you might find a lot of really beautiful things worth loving!! Bob Dylan said, he ain't workin' on Maggie's Farm no more, for good reasons!! S--t for brains is for losers who think being oppressed by their bosses & local gangster politicos is heaven on Earth ordained by Jeebus. Guess what, the real JESUS was/is a liberating Woody Guthrie lover who effing hates oppression more than most things. MMJ is right on it! They get it! Ah been to Southahn Illinois and southahn Ohio, and it's perty, and nice, and all that, perty humid if you're asking me, I done see just about umm I could name off a huge amount of places I'd rather settle in this country that are much nicer, more friendly for real, with fewer bigots, fewer nosy people, fewer dimwits, more people you know who want every body to be happy and do their thing, and if they fall, hey, do you need an ambulance? It's a better way of life caring for each other, and enjoying each other's creativity, instead of bullying conformity to the bosses, and the racists and neonazis. Way better, thanks MMJ!!

  57. J.... ....

    Heard this song on the radio a couple mornings ago on the way to work... and the first thing I did when I got there was find out who it was. I freaking love this song(!!!!) and am slightly embarrassed that it took me 11 years to discover it!

    J.... ....

    Jasper102211 don't worry I knew about this band since 2008 any only found it thanks to American dad sadly in Europe they are really a obscurity

    J.... ....

    What I hate most about music is there is so much great stuff that you need more than a lifetime to discover it.

    J.... ....

    I rank that an A+ radio station.

  58. H.... W....

    This song makes me want to drive a station wagon through a cold, rural California morning..

    H.... W....

    Tre bien. Vamos.

    H.... W....

    ’e-ḇen 😂😂😂

  59. P.... A....

    i think im gay with these dudes

    P.... A....

    I think you're gay without these dudes.

  60. D.... M....

    this is Torn between two Lovers by Mary MacGregor. I guess everything has been written allready.

  61. K.... D....

    With the possible exception of "Graceland" by Paul Simon...Can you name a better DRIVING Song?

  62. J.... M....

    Good high and sober. C:

  63. y.... ....

    They kind of sound like The Everly Brothers, I think they are from the same state as them, Kentucky.

  64. j.... k....

    i think stan smith has best described my feelings towards my morning jacket, for those of you who aren't american dad viewers, 'tis a slightly obsessive love.

  65. s.... ....

    Most relaxing song ever.

  66. E.... ....

    Actually, its more like this...

    Tu siempre me decías... que no importa cuanto tiempo me detenga, si todo se cae a pedazos o si nos hace millonarios. Tu estarás aquí conmigo para siempre y pasaríamos todo esto, juntos.

  67. s.... ....

    You don't have to be. It makes you feel like you are.

  68. I.... T....

    Is it ok to like this band and not be a stoner? BECAUSE I LOVE THEM

  69. M.... ....

    im high.

  70. s.... ....

    hypnotic, messmerizing, surreal, deja vu, whimsical

  71. I.... R....

    why must mmj be so amazing?

  72. C.... ....

    ¡me encantan!

  73. L.... D....

    Wow. This band never ceases to amaze me.

  74. t.... ....

    MMJ = simply amazing. I hope to produce the same type a music one day.

  75. K.... M....

    i thought my morning jacket was screamo........ i am an idiot. and i now love my morning jacket.

    This is The Shawshank redemption made Song..

    Stan Smith did not send me here.

  81. T.... ....

    Properly fucking done...

  82. B.... B....

    This song pretty good, but the best version of this song is on radio station "KFOG"'s "Live from the archives #11" CD, released for local charity a few years ago. Lots of reverb, and a sweet outro of "Breads" "Make it with you
