Tyler Childers – Harlan Road lyrics
[Verse 1]
Funny how she calls tonight
I need her more than ever
I've been down in low cotton
As lonesome as can be
And I think about her often boys
And even when I'm sober
I read over the love notes
The ones she wrote for me

[Pre-Chorus]
And if she want one night
Well that'd be just fine, well

[Chorus]
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
I'm gonna get my baby
I'm gonna run to meet her 'neath
The shadow of the pines
She's gonna hop that coal train
She'll get off on Harlan Road

Love me 'til the morning comes
And leave me like a dream

[Verse 2]
And I'd run to her through tobacco fields
And over 'cross the clover
I'd wade a mile of briar patch, boys
Just to touch her skin
And I reckon I'm the foolish kind
To beckon to her callin'
But I can't seem to help myself
Let that woman win

[Pre-Chorus]
And if she wants one night
I'm gonna get what's mine, well

[Chorus]
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
I'm gonna get my baby
I'm gonna run to meet her 'neath
The shadow of the pines
She's gonna hop that coal train
She'll get off on Harlan Road
Love me 'til the morning comes
And leave me like a dream

[Verse 3]
Buddy, all I know
Is I can't win for losing
Either lay here in this lonely room
Or let her have her way
Buddy, all I need
Is one night where she don't leave
And this one just might be the night
She decides to stay

[Chorus]
Somebody fetch my walkin' cane
I'm gonna get my baby
I'm gonna run to meet her 'neath
The shadow of the pines
She's gonna hop that coal train
She'll get off on Harlan Road
Love me 'til the morning comes
And leave me like a dream
Love me 'til the morning comes

    I feel like it’s about getting high/love. How he will go through hell to be with her for a moment and she/the high never stays. How he wants every night to be the night that she will finally stay. I did a bunch of mushrooms while in the worst heroin addiction and realized that I was not getting high only going through hell to feel love for just that moment. Got on suboxon walked away from my old life and been the best life I ever lived. Mushrooms are the keys to life, don’t be scared to peer into the looking glass

    Takes me back to this perty that knew for the longest and well, needless to say we started talkin again after a somewhat brief intermission and considering the circumstances things where looking up for a spell.
    Atleast thats the impression I had on the situation anyway.
    Well we had fun and partied and my time between the pines was fun and addictive just like any good time I reckon.
    Well it wasn't long into the first go round like a ghost in the night she was MIA and I was something confused boys let me tell you what!!!!
    Not long she was back and the fun continued like she never left and well,couple days go by and bang bang gone again. So there I sat guitar in one hand and a question mark in the other and I told myself not gonna happen again but sure enough a DevilDog gave in to the sweets and sure enough she was gone again. And gone she has been since I had a reckoning of the matter. N that is if she wants to stay then stay but if not then hell come on through and I'll rearrange things all she wants but this time she best be ready to leave there directly cause me this ole guitar got a date and she aint invited.
    So my thoughts on the song is well women are alot like pine trees in South Carolina on a warm June afternoon, there always there and at the right time tend some of the best shade tree sittin, but sure as hell is hot that ole Carine pine is gonna keep on movin. So as good as it feels it won't be long before she moving on and your better off finding another shade tree. Pine trees are nice but they dam sure stubborn as hell too..... C.A.Phelps recovering shade tree addict!!!lol
