October Sky John Emery
I'm just a Carolina boyyyyy
With a knack for fallin in love a little too quick.
My heart gets to far in front of my headddddd
And I don't know when to quit
(pause)
On my tailgate, talkin to the stars
I wonder if I'll find someone,
someone to share my life
To take my heart and hold it tight
(pause 1, 2, 3)
The reason I can't sleep at night
The reason I walk when it rains
Why I can't enjoy a midnight ride
It keeps my mind occupied
with what could be and what I may never find.
Day by day and night by nightttttt
What am I doing here?
Under this October skyyyy
(Slow n Easy)
I've been down this trail before
Know it well enough to tell you,
It's a lonely one that leads to a dead end door
You go on for years at a time
Never make progress, wind up broken hearted
and back to the starting line
(pause)
You feel hopeless at times
Spinnin your tires, smokin your soul
Like your life's passin yah byyyyy
Friends get married, kids, and family life
Your on the side line,
just watchin and prayin to one day feel that lighttttt
(Pause 1, 2, 3)
The reason I can't sleep at night
The reason I walk when it rains
Why I can't enjoy a midnight ride
It keeps my mind occupied with what could be
and what I may never find.
Day by day and night by nightttttt
What am I doing here?
Under this October skyyyy
(pause 10, 9, 8,.........,3, 2, 1,)
(loud and slow emphasis on syllables)
I'LL BEAT THIS LONELINESSSSSSSS!
(regular speed/volume)
I'll be there one day.
(Pause 1, 2, 3)
Time to make a change.
(regular speed/tempo)
Now I can sleep at night
I run when it rains
Now I enjoy a midnight ride
It keeps me clear,
mind free of doubt and glad to be here.
Day by day and night by nightttttt
I know now what am I doing here
Under this October skyyyy
I know what am I doing here
Under this October skyyyy

"I loved the line, "You go on for years at a time,Never make progress, wind up broken hearted and back to the starting line". That line was beautifully written and something that anyone that has been in a relationship that didnt work out understands. Good job!" -- Taylor Burke, Ca.
"Thank you Mr. Burke. I'm glad someone catches what I'm trying to say. " -- John Emery.
