"Northern Thunder" lyrics - ZACH BRYAN

Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road, too
There's a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
And please don't ask me how these last years went
Mama, I made a million dollars on accident
Well, I was supposed to die a military man
Chest out too far with a drink in my hand
But I've got folks who like hearin' me rhyme
I think of thunder under metal roofs, all the time
Why's everyone actin' like they ain't human?
Take me back to green grass and knowin' what I's doin'
'Cause I just need a friend right now
Sittin' close until the daylight's out
It ain't been my week, it ain't been my year
And I hate to admit I just need you here

[Chorus:]
So close your eyes, do you think of when you's younger?
Won't you rest your mind?
Smell that northern thunder
So close your eyes, I pray you see those memories
The way this life blackens all the things you used to be
So close your eyes, do you think when you's younger?
Rest your mind and smell that northern thunder
Won't you close your eyes? Think of what this used to be
The way this life blackens all your younger memories

[Outro:]
Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road too
There's a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
