Tie a Yellow Ribbon

written by Jake STilson

I can’t say what is wrong or what is right 

But i could sit here and sip this drink all night 

Play old country records until dawn 

I might even fall out on the lawn 

With my troubles out of mind and out of sight

I got a jar of my friend’s moonshine by my side

That he made when he cooked down some homemade wine 

It tastes like fruit on fire don’t you know

Well, take two pills and you’ll be good to go 

Strap your old boots on it’s steppin’ time 

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

That sweet rose of San Antone is the only one I need 

Let the train blow a whistle when I go 

Oh, sweet chariot, won’t you please swing long 

I’ve been tuning in and twanging out for so long
I already went to Nashville and I already moved on 

Running on  hopes dreams booze and weed

And every other little thing in between 

And I’d do it all again to play one more song 

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Whispering pines send my baby back to me 

Country roads won’t you take me home 

Oh, sweet chariot, won’t you please swing low 

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

I’ll be drifting right along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Yippie ti ay, and a yippie aye kay oh

Oh sweet chariot won’t you please swing low 

Oh sweet chariot won’t you please swing low
