    v1:
    grew up under yellow light on the street
    putting too much faith in the make believe
    and another high school football team
    the neighbor’s brother came home in a box
    but he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault
    another red heart taken by the american dream
    pre-chorus:
    and i feel it there
    in the middle of the night
    when the lights go out
    and i’m all alone again
    chorus:
    say what you want
    but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
    a long, cold war with your kids at the front
    just give it one more day then you’re done
    i do what i want
    crying in the bleachers and i said it was fun
    i don’t need anything from anyone
    it’s just not my year
    but i’m all good out here
    v2:
    sunday morning
    hands over my knees in a room full of faces
    i’m sorry if i seemed off, but i was probably wasted
    and didn’t feel so good
    head full of whiskey but i always deliver
    jesus, if you’re listening, let me handle my liquor
    and jesus, if you’re there, why do i feel alone in this room with you
    pre-chorus:
    and i feel it there
    in the middle of the night
    when the lights go out
    but i’m still standing here
    chorus:
    say what you want
    but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
    a long, cold war with your kids at the front
    just give it one more day then you’re done
    i do what i want
    crying in the bleachers and i said it was fun
    i don’t need anything from anyone
    it’s just not my year
    but i’m all good out here
    chorus:
    say what you want
    but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
    a long, cold war with your kids at the front
    just give it one more day then you’re done
    i do it for my daddy and i do it for dale
    i’m doing what i want and damn, i’m doing it well
    for me
    for me
    for me
    for me

      I think it’s an intentional nod to youthful optimism. Don’t stop believing!
      Also a phrase that must be particularly relevant to a preacher’s daughter.

    NY Times closed comments. I wanted you to know that I enjoyed this article, and appreciate that you are true to your aesthetic and narrative voice: youthful, honest, self-indulgent, and reaching --universal for anyone wounded and trying to find balance and peace at that age. Even though I am a 62-years-old white guy living in a different lifestyle, I related to your earlier confusion and pain. I hope your path, and future projects, leads you to personal peace and happiness. If you are already there - Brava!

It’s just not my year but I’ll fine” I’m so grateful for her. She deserves the world

    My partner as of two days ago just introduced me to your music…
    Needless to say officially have listened to just about everything that you have produced. Miss Ethel, I have been absolutely captivated by your artistry. As a musician myself.. I lost hope in my own artistry for years. The way corporate sign offs or even UA-cam shadows treat literal music breaks my heart… I say this because you actually gave me some lost inspiration I really needed. The best artists are the ones in the shadows. All of our beautiful legends that paved the way were the same way. Thank you for being you and literally giving your beautiful elegant style to the world. Please never stop 🖤 whether or not music ever pays your bills you change peoples lives with your words and the way they are expressed.. much love darlin and keep on truckin ☀️
