"Long Sleeves" lyrics - BLACK STONE CHERRY

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

[Refrain:]
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
Word 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

[Refrain:]
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
(Sleeves, sleeves)

[Guitar solo]

[Refrain:]
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
