Campfire - Kevin Morby

Oh my my, oh I guess

That I’ve done my time, now I’ve laid to rest

There’s a campfire inside my soul

And it billows

And the sky was a thousand years old

Always kept time in my back pocket

No man, goddamn, came to take my soul

Shut the door, then lock it

And where have all of my friends gone

And where did all of my friends go

And where have all of my friends gone

They billow

Thought that I saw Jessi, she was sitting in a crowd

Thought that I saw Jessi, then I got to feeling proud

To ever have known someone so pretty and so sweet

Who every-time she sang a song it’d sweep me off me feet

But oh my my, oh I guess

That she did her time, now she’s laid to rest

There’s a campfire inside her soul

Still billows

Lay your head on my pillow

There’s a fire inside you, and that’s why you billow

Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm

A song, a song for you

I walked to town, devil one side of me

Held by an angel put poems inside of me

Down to my mouth said won’t you recite to me, okay

Every first Wednesday there goes that sound again

Sun’s going down and she’s a sundowner

Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm

Give me your palm, and I’ll sing you a song

Young kids smoke cigarettes out on the avenue

Sun’s going down so you might as well have a few

Hey who are you?

Did you hear the news?

Anthony’s dead, and Poor Richard too

They billow, they billow, and it makes me nervous

They whittled a fiddle from wood in our service

Now that it’s dusk, kids scatter the avenue

Hey who are you?

I’m a sundowner too
