Fairhazel - Eddie (From 7/11) Lyrics

Eddie was a good man
Honest and hard working
Never gave love a try

He was a night crawler
Working at the corner
Shop to try and just get by

He dreamt of the city
Getting out of mississippi
Finding somewhere less like Home

But his father who's a real man
Never said he loved him
Told him "wait until you get old"-er

How will I get out if I am stuck to my seat
How will I get out when you have put your chains on me

Original Guitar Descending Melody

Eddie saved every penny
Sold the local kids on whiskey
For a ticket on the 9:15

After months gone undecided
There was something bout the timing
Growing weary of the small town scene

Eddie took the night bus
Leaving nothing but a line
Reading mother I am leaving Home

He packed his fathers walkman
To avoid bad conversation
And took unto the great unknown

How will I get out if I am stuck to my seat
How will I get out when you have put your chains on me

Oh, Im in the air
Oh off my mind

Come sit in my hands
See eye to eye

Jane was a charmer
A real sweet disaster
That somehow caught Eddies eye

She sat a few seats over
Moving to his corner
Exchanging nothing but a knowing smile

She said we're getting off here
Grabbed his hand and held it dear
Like they'd been lovers since the dawn of time

He tried to explain
That he was dying to get away
But he couldn't shake her from his mind

How will I get out if you have stuck to my seat
How will I get out when you have put your love in me

Oh, Im in the air
Oh off my mind

Come sit in my hands
See eye to eye
