The Campfire Song (feat. Alan Pigram) - Kasey Chambers

When the sun goes down you know where I'll be With a case of good time and some John Deere green Kickin' sparks to the sky, I'm in my zone Every night sprayin' on that campfire cologne A campfire cologne Yeah, you know I'm not alone A campfire cologne That aroma on my clothes takes me back farther back y'all We'd build ourselves a pile and light up a bonfire We'd have the best times and never even try Good friends made good company we'd blast every time We'd blaze it up and let it burn high Dance around the flames Joke on one another, callin' each other names We never took it personal, we was brothers and best friends Just livin' in the moment, felt like it'd never end We did some good smokin', a good bit of day drinkin' Thinkin' up lies to tell and hell the river rope swingin' I lost track of some of y'all but now you're on my mind And this smell on my shirt makes me think about the good times When the sun goes down, you know where I'll be With a case of good time and some John Deere green Kickin' sparks to the sky, I'm in my zone Every night sprayin' on that campfire cologne A campfire cologne Yeah, you know I'm not alone A campfire cologne Man, that smell on my clothes brings back the good times We were all raising hell, I'd sing songs and make rhymes And nobody was listenin', then it was just y'all On highway 18, in the yard playin' ball With no flags, no tags strictly tackle Then we'd crank a flame Crack a bottle and laugh like nothin' happened The smell from the pine tree Needles, and cones, is like a time machine When it was just David Jones We didn't have to be responsible and pay no bills Wasn't thinkin' 'bout raisin' babies, negotiating deals And even though I'm grateful now, I'll never forget The way we grew through the smell of the flames It makes me reminisce When the sun goes down, you know where I'll be With a case of good time and some John Deere green Kickin' sparks to the sky, I'm in my zone Every night sprayin' on that campfire cologne A campfire cologne Yeah, you know I'm not alone A campfire cologne Just light it up, light it up and let it burn high Live your life the way you want to like you'll never die Just light it up, light it up and let it burn high Live your life the way you want to like you'll never die Just light it up, light it up and let it burn high Live your life the way you want to like you'll never die Just light it up, light it up and let it burn high Live your life the way you want to like you'll never die

Sit right back and I'll tell you a tale About campfire light, guitar and ale These are three small things That won't cost you a lot But the pleasure that they give Is like a happiness shot It started way back when I was a kid With my family and friends Watching what they did And now I'm all grown up, I'm doing the same Singing campfire songs by a campfire flame And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy And I'm glad that you're here Glass of wine or a bottle of beer And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy And I'm glad I never tire Of you and me singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire There's something mesmerising about a fire at night Draws the people right in like little moths to the light And we sit around drinking looking up at the stars Singing campfire songs 'til the campfire chars And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy And I'm glad that you're here Glass of wine or a bottle of beer And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy And I'm glad I never tire Of you and me singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire We got the kids at the front toasting marshmallows Got a guy at the back he's a real funny fella Got a girl to my right she's travelled real far Got a boy to my left talking 'bout souped up cars There's an old man staring at the flames A honey blonde beauty can't remember her name And there are people from the east and people from the west And singing by the fire's what I like best And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy And I'm glad that we're here Glass of wine or a bottle of beer And I'm happy and I'm sad But most of all I'm happy If I had money then I'd retire And spend my days singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire Singing 'round a campfire

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it Of the darkness inside you Makes you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow Show me your smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember when, I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear Just call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow

I threw a coin and it fell Down the wishing well And it sunk to the ground like a cannon ball (ground like a cannon ball) And you think I'm out of touch I call you too much Now words they just sound like a waterfall (sound like a waterfall) I, I'm falling behind My watch doesn't wind So I'm keeping time with an hourglass (time with an hourglass) And you think I'm immature And you seem unsure Why we're spitting on cars from the overpass (cars from the overpass) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I, I told you with pride Where all the stars die Down on Hollywood boulevard (Hollywood boulevard) And you, you think it's absurd That I've never heard A single thing about Baudrillard (thing about Baudrillard) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you I tripped over my words I lost all my nerve When I asked you to ride in my motorcar (ride in my motorcar) You, you kissed me just once But only because We fell in love on a monkey bar (on a monkey bar) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you

Will you rise or will you fall? Will you walk or will you crawl? Will you dream in black and white When you're sleeping cold tonight? Will you bend or will you break? Will you give or will you take? Will no angel shine no light? And leave you sleeping cold tonight Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Will you stand or will you turn? Will you teach or will you learn? When your demons rise above You'll be sleeping cold my love Would you stay or would you leave? Would you fail or would you believe? Would you stand your ground and fight When I'm sleeping cold tonight? Would we know what's wrong or right If we're sleeping cold tonight? Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why

I've given my words to you I'd do it again You know them by heart by now You have them within Oh, would you still offer your embrace If it's another place you'd find me in? If it's ours and ours to use How can we refuse a cease of fire? Between your heart and mine Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat I've given my heart to you You know its ways Yes, in its chambers you have lived Though lately you have come to realize That for the bullets that you fire I'm the main supplier I'm the one The trigger for your gun Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat My fear is dead I lost it in you I do hear you I do fear you I do need you
