Fishtails Lyrics

Intro:
Am F C G x2 (Play around with the strumming, there's a good bit of hammering on, esp. around the Cs)
Verse 1:
You know all them sweaty boys hanging out at the copper mines
You watched them growing up under the bridge on the river shoals off Georgia 9
They used to lay their sweet bodies out just waiting on a fishing line
Just like your daddy did when he was a kid in the wilds of Florida
But your daddy's gone and those boys jacked up got rough moved on
Verse 2:
You find your own self hiding in the stories of drunken men
With their kids in tow from the picture show riding over mountain bends
And you can feel their fingers crossing when the black ice of winter comes
But they'll be fishtailing in the dark from the time that they are born
Chorus:
Hey, you know your daddy's gone, those boys you loved got rough with the girls and
moved on
Still you gotta find some goodness somewhere somehow, so hug the corners take the
straights from the cradle to the grave oh we all give what, yeah, what we got
Verse 3:
In the winter you'll go south and fall asleep in the late day sun
Holding still to catch the last of the warmth before the storm clouds roll on in
At night you watch the kids riding in their hoodies in the rain
Heading up to St. Johns causeway bridge fishtailing all the way
Chorus:
Hey, you know your daddy's gone, those boys you loved got rough with the girls and
moved on
Still you gotta find some goodness somewhere somehow, so hug the corners take the
straights from the cradle to the grave oh we all give what, yeah, what we got
Yeah we all give what we got
