Felker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Felker I felt her 'cause the words you sang to me
Drunk and dark doorway lights and Oklahoma trees
We will sing of Lorrie, even though you're not around
I'm honored to walk upon such esteemed ground

[Verse 2]
I was drunk and kissing her, and it surely felt like heaven
Nothing like the time when you sang 7 by 7
Gin, Smoke, and Lies was bound to make me question
All those Tulsa girls dancin' down on Main and Elgin

[Chorus]
Felker, we need you here
To re-affirm our fears
Felker, won't you get well
You've got stories to tell

[Verse 3]
The Way you looked around on the stage when you couldn't go
Should've told us man, we'd stopped the damn show

The ways that you write your songs, none of us can bear
Sturdy in your voice that makes a young heart tear

[Chorus]
Felker, we need you here
To re-affirm our fears
Felker, won't you get well
You've got stories to tell
[Outro]
You've got stories to tell

Genius Annotation

Zach Bryan released this song on YouTube after the Turnpike Troubadours' May 24th, 2019 Instagram announcement cancelling their tour and announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus. It is believed that Even Felker, the lead singer of the Turnpike Troubadours, may be taking time off to deal with substance abuse issues. There have been a number of live performances where he has been visibly intoxicated, hindering his ability to perform. This song is Bryan’s call to Mr. Felker on behalf of the band’s entire fan base, reminding him of the impact he’s had on other’s and encouraging him to persevere through tough times.
