Sidelines - Toro Y Moi
Lyrics by:Chaz Bear
Composed by:Chaz Bear
I was on the field on a friday night
3rd string had to swallow my pride
I got thrown in on a 4th and 5
Just so they could take a knee
Oh I was only thinking about my 6 string
I remember coach tryna break us down
2 a days had us passin' out
This week we gotta play away
Home team just came from state
Lost by 6 that's the worst way
Damn bus ride back had a sour taste
Had a revelation 'bout where I wanna be
I was drained of patience and my energy
Just to find out I played the wrong game
I was thinking 'bout my 6 string
Heatwave ain't ever takin' breaks
We would find shade in the cemetery
Drove a couple hours to the angel oak
Heavy conversation with a little smoke
Mama's cookin' up corn meal grains
Daddy's yellin' at the football game
I was upstairs tryna make a name
I was upstairs with my 6 string
