High tide has been risin’ up
I’ve been gettin’ up with some boys I used to know
We’re tryin’ to get our pockets up
This year has just been movin’ fuckin’ slow
You were comin’ out to Pineville, it was freezin’ cold
I’m gettin’ old by the day
You said I gave your heart somethin’ to believe in
‘Cause boys like us fade away
But you stuck around when I was down
And I’ll owe you all my days
Them boys of faith
Them boys of faith
High tide has been risin’ up
I’ve been gettin’ up with some boys I used to know
We’re tryin’ to get our pockets up
This year has just been movin’ fuckin’ slow
You were takin’ photos of me in Kentucky
Sayin’ we were lucky for the light
Who would’ve thought those things would find a Billboard
Way out in New York at night
Thinkin’ of the times that you didn’t bat an eye
All those of times, I shake
Them boys of faith
Them boys of faith
High tide has been risin’ up
I’ve been gettin’ up with some boys I used to know
We’re tryin’ to get our pockets up
This year has just been movin’ fuckin’ slow
High tide has been risin’ up
I’ve been gettin’ up with some boys I used to know
We’re tryin’ to get our pockets up
This year has just been movin’ fuckin’ slow
