Pawley's Island Hammock
Liner Notes
#americana #acousticguitar
For this week's #songsidekicksongcircle @unknownbecky gave the prompt to write from the perspective of an inanimate object. I caught myself thinking that when the second-rate hammock that I've left outside for four years finally rots away, I'll get a Pawleys Island Hammock and take good care of it.
It felt right to only use two chords, so I'll also post this one in the #2chord challenge
Lyrics
We bought it that last summer, we spent two weeks at the beach
We brought it home and we strung it up out between the maple trees
The Pawleys Island Hammock made of good strong cotton rope
The Pawleys Island Hammock, never give up hope
The Pawleys Island Hamock has that good strong cotton rope
We spent two nights together out there looking for the stars
We thought we might have seen a couple, but the lights were probably cars
The Pawleys Island Hammock made of good strong cotton rope
The Pawleys Island Hammock, never give up hope
The Pawleys Island Hamock has that good strong cotton rope
You never told me you were leaving, you never told me why
I told myself I'd make it, said I probably wouldn't need to cry
The Pawleys Island Hammock made of good strong cotton rope
The Pawleys Island Hammock, never give up hope
The Pawleys Island Hamock has that good strong cotton rope
It really should come down each fall, the wooden bar could rot
I know it should come down, but now, that hammock's all I got
The Pawleys Island Hammock made of good strong cotton rope
The Pawleys Island Hammock, never give up hope
The Pawleys Island Hamock has that good strong cotton rope
Oh, the Pawleys Island Hamock has that good strong cotton rope
