Hey Moon
Randall King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey moon, it′s me again
That guy that's always checkin′ back in
How's she doin', I′m hopin′ better
Better than I've been
Hey moon, there′s someone, you see
That stands between her love and me
And I miss her, damn, I miss her
Hey moon, I'm giving it all that I got
Hey moon, I′m down to my last shot
And I know that it's crazy talkin′ to a rock in the sky
Oh, but I gotta try

Hey moon, is she lookin' up
From her room and thinkin' of us
Has she been tucked in
Wonderin′ where I′ve been
Dreamin' about seein′ me again

Hey moon, I'm giving it all that I got
Hey moon, I′m down to my last shot
And I know that it's crazy talkin′ to a rock in the sky
But I gotta try
Hey moon

Hey moon, if you see my little girl
Would you shine your light on her world?
Trust mе, I know it's crazy talkin' to a rock in the sky




Oh, but I gotta try
Hey, hey moon

I was going to say Charley Crockett is ahead of him, after a few songs. My hats off to this guy. Voice is very pure. Song melodies don't have that bs pop tone to them.
