Liam St. John - stripped back (Stripped Back)

Forefathers (Stripped Back)

Well my momma worked the graveyard
And my daddy was gone
So I spent my nights with Ray Charles
I cried to Louis Armstrong

Well my momma she was always there
Diggin' us out of the hole
But my father he never cared
Now he don't even pick up the phone

So I call
Jim Beam when I'm in need
Evan Williams if I'm, out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice

As a child playing make-believe
Pretending that you're coming home
I would climb in the maple tree
Guessing which car was yours

It took a while but you finally showed
15 Summers down the road
I know you tried to give it a go
But you don't answer my calls no more
So I call

Jim Beam when I'm need
Evan Williams if I'm out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice
