Jason Charles Miller - Up To Me lyrics

rate me

I was cut in mississippi, in june of 36

Trucked out west to texas and laid down here to rest

They flamed my edge in maple

Tacked trim around my base

But my last coat of ... has long since worn away

[Chorus]

I felt wine and tears and whiskey

Raining down on me

Hearts and names and numbers

Carved with pockets knives and keys

I’ve helped to balance spirits, of lovers, drunks and thieves

When their lives have let them down, they belly up to me

I’ve broken long neck bottles

And accidents and faints

I’ve been a place to rest your weary head

On one those too many nights

I’ve overheard the best and worst

Of pick up lines and prayers

I’ve seen the start of one night stands

And the end of long affairs

[Chorus]

I felt wine and tears and whiskey

Raining down on me

Hearts and names and numbers

Carved with pockets knives and keys

I’ve helped to balance spirits, of lovers, drunks and thieves

When their lives have let them down, they belly up to me

Sometimes I wish that I was still there rising with the pines

My roots deep in the delta, limbs soaked in sunshine

Live away from happy hours and closing times

[Chorus]

I felt wine and tears and whiskey

Raining down on me

Hearts and names and numbers

Carved with pockets knives and keys

I’ve helped to balance spirits, of lovers, drunks and thieves

Cause one time on another, they’ve all felt the need

To let their inhibitions down and belly up to me

Belly up to me, mhm.
