Long Sleeves

All night long thunder calls

Can't get away from here

Songbirds calling, sky keeps falling

Ain't no use in fear

Every night it comes back to me

Everything I've seen

Don't ask why I've seen children die

Watched men take their lives

I've seen women cry

My mama always said to wear long sleeves

Pushed through the sand, world in my hand

Drop of water for my soul

Make daddy proud, can't let him down

God, I gotta get back home

Every night it comes back to me

Everything I've seen

Don't ask why I've seen children die

Watched men take their lives

I've seen women cry

My mama always said to wear long sleeves

Don't ask why I've seen children die

Watched men take their lives

I've seen women cry

My mama always said

My mama always said to wear long sleeves
