Zach Bryan - East Side of Sorrow

East Side of Sorrow

18 years old full of hate, they shipped me off in a motorcade

They said boy you’re going to fight a war

You don’t even know what you’re fighting for

I lost friends in the august heat

At night it was god I’d always meet

I said lord won’t you bring me home

I’ve got women in the west I wanna hold

And I lost you in a waiting room after sleeping there for a week or two

Doctor said he did all he could you were the last thing I had that was good

So I walked miles on the tulsa streets

Light started beaming in from the east

6am and fucked up again asking god where the hell he’d been

He said the sun’s going to rise tomorrow

Somewhere on the east side of sorrow

You better pack your bags west stick out your chest and then hit the road

The suns going to rise tomorrow somewhere on the east side of sorrow

Don’t give it a reason to follow

let it be and then let it go

Let it be and then let it go

Heard your brother lost his mind in the city last fall

Was it his blood or his conscious or the alcohol

Did the navy do him well or did he wind up sick

Like every other brave boy from these run down sticks

Do you ever get tired of singing songs

like all your pain is just another fucking sing along

If you ever get the time come on home

I heard turnpikes back together and they’re writing songs

He said the sun’s going to rise tomorrow

Somewhere on the east side of sorrow

You better pack your bags west stick out your chest and then hit the road

the sun’s going to rise tomorrow

Somewhere on the east side of sorrow

Don’t give it a reason to follow

Let it be then let it go

Let it be then let it go
