Lyrics I Swear (To God) - Tyler Childers

I Swear (To God)

And I must admit, I had a few white lines
And I don’t know what all happened
I woke up in the noontime light
With a poundin' head, shiner on my eye
And I don’t know how and I don’t why
But it feels like fierce abandon
Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and I’m buildin' on it all alone
Well there ain’t nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight, honey;
honey, sleep tight
Ma, I swear I’m doin' all right
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God
Pay no mind to the words I say
'Cause they ain’t no 'count anyway
I been ramblin' around and led astray
By the paths that I been choosin'
Cuttin' paths like a forest fire
Pupils wider than backhoe tires
Throwin' my money on a funeral pyre
But it sure feels good abusin'
