Wall, Colter - Sleeping On The Blacktop Lyrics






Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honkey-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain

High heel lady spitting at the nickajack
Business man with a needle and a spoon
Coyote chewing on a cigarette
Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon

Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Three dead in a crash on the number 4
Two witnesses below and up high
Not sure whose will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why

Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
Could it be it's the same as the last?
I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before
Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass

Hey darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me
[x2]

    It would have been better with all the background drums and clapping. That bass, is to harsh for this song, the clapping could have been softer or not at all something different. In the beginning it's sound is authentic, but when that base hits it's like it clashed with some odd new aged stuff. Other than that beautiful.

  89. M.... S....

    I love the fact that i was listening to this song on the way home from school, passed acouple of kids listening to modern rap. They legit- paused their shit and said."I like your music man". Lmao

    M.... S....

    Hell yeah brother! Teach them lost souls about real art my brother. God bless

    M.... S....

    r/thathappened

    M.... S....

    Well. I mean. Rap and this type of song write about the same ideals of struggle and decay.

    The mood of the song is conveyed musically, but the lyrics are a shoo in for understanding the meaning of the piece right?

    I listen to a lot of hardcore punk for the same reason why I listen to rap and folk. Because of the meaning of the song.

    You should try that "modern" bullshit. A lot of it is amazing.

    But you're just a kid, so you probably try to define yourself through your music rather than letting your music compliment who you already are.

    Oh and for the record, the reason "country" sucks so much ass is because a lot of it is vapid and devoid of feeling imo. Like pop or certain fad chasing groups in indie/alt genres.

  90. M.... S....

    Tried learning the guitar rythem and melody for this by ear. Harder than i thought. Like hella hard.

  91. D.... S....

    ripped off Country Morning Music but, like, who cares? #brilliant

  92. C.... g....

    A snap track that isn’t bad finally

  93. A.... G....

    In the summertime its a whole different monster.

  94. e.... ....

    If only all country sounded as cool as this.

  95. o.... p....

    I brought myself here.

  96. J.... E....

    This should be in red dead 2

  97. V.... ....

    i've never really liked country, but this is just awesome
