lyrics

remember that old farmhouse?
off the dirt road
where you and mom would sing.
house of the rising sun,
and Jimmy's Hey Joe
antique Piano, and her violin.
and you would sing
and mom's strings would bring
a soft tender harmony
and your strings would ring
and I'd be listening
over the stairwell balcony
thats when I first learned that I can make music
i'd bang on pots and strum on strings
you guys helped to make me believe
that I can be someone
someone as myself

and every time I feel afraid
i pick up your guitars
and I jam with the animals
inside of my head
they come out in the dark
they come out in my song

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
he lived by the old creek
him and I, we'd go fishing
for goldfish and memories
you'd be riding on that lawnmower
mom would be cooking dinner or sweeping the floors
you taught me how to be a friend
and how impossible should be tossed out the door
crushed not adored
cause I can be anything I want to.

and every time I feel afraid
i pick up your guitars
and I jam with the animals
inside of my head
they come out in the dark
they come out in my song

and every time I feel afraid
(out in the dark)
i pick up your guitars
(out in my song)
and I jam with the animals
inside of my head
they come out in the dark
they come out in my song
