Josh Ritter Me & Jiggs lyrics

Me and Jiggs staring at the ceiling the stars above the radar range
Song from a station wagon laying foundations
On the shadows of overpassing planes
I'm feeling good, at seven o'clock we're gonna drive across the county line
And find Saturday night like an orphan child
That the good days left behind

And I'm not sure we can make it stay
Sun's going down and it's the end of the day

Me and my friends in the park drinking beer underneath the tree
Lying on your back as the sun goes down
You know it's perfect 'cause you've got to leave
On a Saturday night in a town like this I forget all my songs about trains
A bar with a jukebox and you on my arm
Heaven and earth are pretty much the same


And I'm not sure I can make you stay
Sun's going down and it's the end of the day

Later on sitting on the roof talking like the night could last all night
Like we are all half crazy and all at least half alright
Sitting on the porch playing Townes Van Zandt
Play guitar to burn off the hours
Till we climb the fences at the edge of town
And paint our names on the water towers

And I'm not sure we can make them stay
Sun's going down at the end of the day
