Five Hours Strong

Lyrics

[Verse]
Woke up this mornin', felt a rumblin' deep inside,
Had some chili last night, Lord knows I tried,
To lay low and be still, but it’s bound to escape,
Five seconds later, there’s no need to debate.

[Verse 2]
In the kitchen with coffee, dog started to whine,
My stomach’s like a trumpet in perfect time,
Five hours of melody, I could write a song,
Every five seconds, this wind carries on.

[Chorus]
Every five seconds, I’m lettin' it out,
A musical symphony, no doubt,
Five hours long, my body's in charge,
Just prayin’ the neighbors don’t think it’s too large.

[Verse 3]
Went out to the barn, tend the fields and hay,
Didn’t think I’d turn it into a dark café,
Every five steps, I had to release,
Hoping these tractors aren’t calling the police.

[Verse 4]
Lunch with the preacher, oh lord, what a test,
Tried to keep it quiet, but you can guess the rest,
Five hours later, wearin' a sheepish grin,
Preacher just laughed, said, “Son, we’re all kin.”

[Chorus]
Every five seconds, I’m lettin' it out,
A musical symphony, no doubt,
Five hours long, my body's in charge,
Just prayin’ the neighbors don’t think it’s too large.
