Zach Bryan's album version
| Zach Bryan: | The shape you take when you lay like that |
| Reminds me of a love I've never had | |
| If loving's wrong what's a boy to do | |
| I ain't scared of death, I'm scared of losing you | |
| You ain't out of my league, you're out of this planet | |
| But dammit, if you ain't drilled into my skull | |
| Zach Bryan: | Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind |
| You're like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind | |
| Zach Bryan: | Winter was a drag but spring was a friend |
| I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again | |
| And they've been trying to smooth me out | |
| For twenty-seven seasons now | |
| Twenty-seven seasons | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | When I close my eyes I think of times |
| I could smell and hear that northern thunder | |
| Every pine has its time | |
| To outgrow the rings of days of younger | |
| I'll be still at the cutting mill | |
| Just make me a roof you can hide under | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind |
| You're like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind | |
| Bryan and Springsteen: | Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend |
| I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again | |
| And they've been trying to smooth me out | |
| For twenty-seven seasons now | |
| For twenty-seven seasons | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Ooh-ooh |
| Hoo hoo-hoo | |
| Zach Bryan: | We'll take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind |
| You're like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind | |
| Zach Bryan: | Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again |
| Zach Bryan: | And they've been trying to smooth me out |
| Bruce Springsteen: | For twenty-seven seasons now |
| For twenty-seven seasons now | |
| For twenty-seven seasons now |
