This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, I hear that train a comin'
Comin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
And I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I'm bound to stay and die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well, now when I was a baby
My momma told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well, now if I was a railroad
If that old freight train was mine
I think I'd get it moving
Just a little down the line
But I knew I had it comin'
I had to carry-on
And now I hear the whistle blowin'
Down the San Antone
Well, my momma she done told me
Poppa done told me, too
"Son, that gal you foolin' with
She ain't no good for you"
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
Well, I stand at my window
I hang my head and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say good-bye
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
Well, baby, one of these mornings
And, lord, it won't be long
You're gonna look for me, baby
And daddy will be gone
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
Comin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
And I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I'm bound to stay and die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well, now when I was a baby
My momma told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well, now if I was a railroad
If that old freight train was mine
I think I'd get it moving
Just a little down the line
But I knew I had it comin'
I had to carry-on
And now I hear the whistle blowin'
Down the San Antone
Well, my momma she done told me
Poppa done told me, too
"Son, that gal you foolin' with
She ain't no good for you"
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
Well, I stand at my window
I hang my head and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say good-bye
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
Well, baby, one of these mornings
And, lord, it won't be long
You're gonna look for me, baby
And daddy will be gone
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do
That's all right now, momma
Anyway that you do

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
