In memory of Matthew Eldridge 1996-2020

lyrics

One night we slept in a dim little town
A particular night, it was the start of the year
Five of us hiked in, we were drunk on the grounds,
Laughing at nothing, nothing at all

We sat on a field, we drank whiskey and beer,
And one of us said 'why isn't Matthew here?'
Well, he got in trouble with his mama that night
And she said we couldn't stay there

Well, we tore up the field and we frightened the kids
Took more than our share and trekked on back through the woods
We prayed for rain and we avoided the roads,
Relieved ourselves on a gas station bush

Well, we got tangled up with a gang on the way,
And I lost my footing and I was alone
Calling and banging and waiting and tossing and turning
And hating the way I always seem to be learning more
About the way that you roll
Having your way with other cats and dogs in your home

North of Kitsap kids, I know them well
Sound of banjo, smell of swill
Two smokes between them and a ten dollar bill

We slept in a shed in the middle of town
And around 4am some weirdos rolled around
And they pulled out their kits, and we smoked cigarettes,
We peered through the holes in our blankets

And around 7am it was as if Jesus had blessed us
With seven dollars and thirty two cents
And we bought a little coffee
Oh no, I finally hit that note

There's not much of a moral to the story I've told
But I'll imagine there is so I can feel wise when I'm old
Don't venture with friends through the woods on some October night
Despite what they tell you, things won't be alright
