49th

Oh 49th I'm coming back to you

The rest proved to be too much, it's true

You're everything I've ever known

The sweetest place to call my own

Jones holds the secrets though there's some that I don't know

I can't tell like Isabel, in the heat the summer swells

Congress won't adjourn 'till 3 am

Block the driveway with the car

Bonfire in a shopping cart

Police are not too far

Now is the time

And man I feel alright

I know it's not too late

I hope it's not too late

On 49th a lady slept

In Carolina the day she left

They've since painted that door red

Packed up and found a new place instead

Live your life and make it last

My boy told me 'fore he crashed

Brushed it off but almost passed

Bought a car next week in cash

Headed to the Southside

With a blue sky I decide

Nowhere better, time provides

Memories that stay alive

With a victory there's history

And I'm pacin' down unpaved streets

The sweet the warm the mystery

Bourbon's playing with my patience

Now is the time

And man I feel alright

I know it's not too late

I hope it's not too late

I know it's not too late

I hope it's not too late

I know it's not too late

I hope it's not too late
