Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've heard love songs make a Georgia man cry On the shoulder of somebody's Saturday night Read the good book, studied it too But nothing prepared me for living with you [Chorus 1] Lock me up tight in these shackles I wear Tied up the keys in the folds of your hair And the difference with me is I used to not care Stockholm, let me go home [Verse 2] Once a wise man to the ways of the world Now I've traded those lessons for faith in a girl Crossed thе ocean, thousand years from my home In this frozеn old city of silver and stone [Chorus 2] Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff Don't move an inch when their anchor goes up And the difference with me is I've fallen in love Stockholm, let me go home [Bridge] And the night so long I used to pray for the daylight to come Folks back home Surely have called off the search and gone back to their own [Chorus 2] Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff Don't move an inch when their anchor goes up And the difference with me is I've fallen in love Stockholm, let me go home Let me go Let me go home Thank you [Outro] This next one here was one that I wrote, um It's very literal, you know, sometimes you get an idea for your song And it doesn't make any sense at all And then sometimes it's just whatever you're doing right then Uh, you just repeat it over and over And it becomes your song And I was, uh, in an airport And I was sittin' waitin' on the plane to board And there were people sittin' very close to me but I didn't know any of 'em They were all strangers and I thought "Man, I am tired of travelin' alone" And, uh, yeah And then I thought "Wait a minute I think I'm onto something Maybe if I just say that over and over It'll become a hit song" And it's really sometimes, it's just that easy, I hate to tell you I wish there was some kind of magic But sometimes you just say some shit twelve times and there you go, um But I know, I, I know myself well enough to know that I won't remember those things later on in the day So I sang it into my phone And there are people on either side of me, you know And so I had my phone and I was singing into the voice memo And I was doing, you know, holding it up where nobody could hear what I was doing 'Cause it's embarrassing to sing into your phone in public, um And then when I got home I thought "Alright, I got this song, I'm gonna listen to it, I'm gonna write the rest of it, let's see how it goes" And it just, it, and it, it just sounded like this [Unintelligible noise] No idea what the melody was supposed to be So I came up with this melody
