May Get
PullenboyMusicOfficialMay Get By James Pullen Lyrics ... [spoken word] yeah this is Pullenboy Music **[Intro]** Yeah… she’s right there, but still outta reach I’m close enough to feel her, but can’t speak *Her perfume’s on the breeze, smellin’ so good, keepin’ me weak* **[Verse 1]** She’s swayin’ on the porch swing, moonlight in her hair Her bare feet on the floorboards, but I’m stuck in this chair Got a joint in my hand, half-full of regret Every puff says “someday,” but I ain’t tasted her kiss yet She’s a dusty backroad promise, gravel in my soul I’m chasin’ down a feelin’ that I can’t control **[Pre-Chorus]** Her beautiful blond hair and her blue eyes that shine Prayin’ to the heavens I want to taste her kiss And make her mine But my heart’s too afraid to tell her ‘cause it don’t want to break again I want to kiss her lips so bad and I never want it to end **[Chorus]** May get to hold that girl I ain’t been with yet She’s the kind of trouble I ain’t learned to forget Every glance is a gamble, every smile’s a bet May get… may get… but I ain’t got her yet **[Verse 2]** She’s dancin’ ‘round the firepit, sparks in her laugh I’m standin’ outside, tryin’ not to crash She’s talkin’ to her friends, but catchin’ my eye I’m countin’ every heartbeat, waitin’ for the play But today just ain’t the day Maybe I’m just dreamin’ ‘bove what I can see I know she wouldn’t want a man like me **[Chorus]** May get to hold that girl I ain’t been with yet She’s the kind of trouble I ain’t learned to forget Every glance is a gamble, every smile’s a bet May get… may get… but I ain’t got her yet **[Bridge]** I’m thumbin’ through my courage like a worn-out deck of cards She’s a queen I can’t play, but I’m holdin’ all the odds One more puff of the blunt, one more song on the strings If the night don’t take her, I’ll be back on my knees **[Final Chorus]** May get to hold that girl I ain’t been with yet Turn a “maybe someday” into a night I won’t regret Every “almost” pulls me closer, every “not yet” keeps me set May get… may get… but I ain’t got her yet *(May get, may get… Lord, I’m gonna get her yet)* **[Outro]** Yeah… may get… One of these nights, she’ll be ridin’ shotgun.10 views -
I Don't Love You Anymore
PullenboyMusicOfficialI Don't Love You Anymore By James Pullen https://youtu.be/zTT7qpa5XbI?si=G1-zoxNqw2gZwslD Lyrics ... [spoken word] yeah this is Pullenboy Music [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin’, mountain dew cold in my hand I reached out for you and felt nothin’ but sand Slippin’ through my fingers, slippin’ away like dust. I whispered your name, but it tasted like rust Just dirt on my tongue, just echoes of us [Chorus] yeah I don’t love you anymore, baby I don’t love you anymore Tried to reignite the fire, but the kindlin’ won’t burn I don’t love you anymore Your kiss is a ghost in the back of my mind. Your memory’s a chain that I finally broke in time.. a burden lifted, like dying leaves on a tree. finally a burden lifted from me. I don’t love you anymore [soft saxophone solo] [Verse 2] Remember that place down on Highway 82. You wore that blue dress, I swore you were mine and I knew I loved you. We danced ‘til the moon bled and the sun came up to shine. Now that song comes on, and you don't even cross my mind cause the memories was like splinters poking in my skin. But I dug it out slow with a big bag of weed. You are the pain that I will never need. [Chorus] I don’t love you anymore, baby I don’t love you anymore yeah I Tried to reignite the fire, but the kindlin’ just won’t burn . I used to see your face everywhere I turned. but baby I just don’t love you anymore Your kiss is a ghost in the back of my mind. Your memory’s a chain that I finally broke with time. [Bridge] See, love ain’t a switch you can turn off with your thumb It’s a slow-bleedin’ wound that goes deep and numb I carried your weight ‘cross a thousand lonely miles ‘Til my knees hit the dirt and I finally lost my smile Now the weight’s off my back, and the sky’s turnin’ blue Funny thing is… I don’t miss missin’ you [soft saxophone solo] [Verse 3] I threw out that wedding band that I thought so much about, the day I asked you to marry me and I didn't have any doubts. I bought a one-way ticket on that cold black train The conductor don’t ask why my eyes look strange He just punches the hole in the ticket and moves down, I’m headed to nowhere, but nowhere is the peace I've found. [Chorus] I don’t love you anymore, baby, no I don’t I don’t love you anymore Tried to reignite the fire, but the kindlin’ won’t burn I don’t love you anymore Your kiss is a ghost in the back of my mind. Your memory’s a chain that I finally don't need. a burden lifted, like dying leaves on a tree. I don’t love you anymore.23 views -
Knocking
PullenboyMusicOfficialKnocking By James Pullen Lyrics ... (Spoken, low and weary.) Yeah… this one’s for the ones still standin’ when the smoke clears. Blues in the bones, rap in the blood and rock in my soul, this is Pullenboy Music. *(Slow, mournful guitar slides in, harmonica wails like a midnight train)* **Verse 1** Mama, I gotta wipe the dust off my boots, I been walkin’ these backroads too long, Carried this nightmare on my hip like a curse, singin’ the same ol’ song. Badge on my chest turned cold as the grave, lawman or outlaw, doesn't matter when you're dead. he's taking my soul and left me in dread. Every trigger I pulled left a ghost in the wind, knockin’… screaming unlock the door and let me in. *(beat drops, sparse kick drum like a heartbeat)* I traded my soul for a fistful of justice, now the reaper’s collectin’ the fee, Bullets don’t care if you wear black or white, they just write your name on the tree. Sun settin’ red like the blood on my hands, shadow stretchin’ six feet four— **Chorus** Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door oh I'm I'm Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door yeah yeah yeah **Verse 2** *(rap flow, half-spoken, harmonica answers every bar)* I was born in the cotton, raised in the flame, mama prayed I’d be more than a name, But the streets taught me lessons the preacher won’t claim—survival’s a sin, guilt’s the same. Got a son and daughter in North Dakota, they got eyes like the moon, ain’t seen them since they was babies, now they're grown. I'll probably never see them and that's okay. I hope they know that I love them anyway. Every dollar I bleed from these midnight runs just buys me one knock more. Steel in my spine, but my knees hittin’ floor, whisperin’ “Lord, what’s this war for?” Devil laughin’ in the rearview mirror, sayin’ “Boy, you already crossed that shore.” *(guitar solo: weeping bends, like cryin’ without tears)* **Chorus** Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door oh I'm I'm Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door yeah yeah yeah **Bridge** *(spoken over soft organ, almost a confession)* Feels like… I put that gun down yesterday, but it’s still smokin’ in my hand. Ain’t no angel waitin’, just a long black train… and no chance at the promised land **Verse 3** *(slow rap, voice crackin’)* Mama, take this badge, melt it to gold, bury it deep where the river runs cold, Tell my baby girl her daddy tried to fold, but the cards were marked long before he was old. and tell my sons, to be good men. don't never let nobody tilt your hand. be honest and true. and know that my children i will always love you I hear them gates creakin’, chains in the breeze, St. Peter checkin’ his list with a frown, But if mercy’s a bullet, then load me one more—I’m ready to lay my burden down. *(final chorus, choir of ghosts in the background)* Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door oh I'm I'm Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door yeah yeah yeah *(harmonica fades, last guitar note rings like a church bell at dawn)* (Spoken, low and weary.) yeah I'm knocking on them doors. begging God to let me in. but my voice only echos, like a whisper in the wind. and the Reaper saying, you can't go in. Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door oh I'm I'm Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door yeah yeah yeah Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door oh I'm I'm Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door yeah yeah yeah yeah51 views 1 comment -
I Want A Woman But I Don't Want You
PullenboyMusicOfficialI Want A Woman But I Don't Want You By James Pullen Lyrics .... [Verse] I want a woman, someone who's kind, With laughter that lingers, like a sweet summer wine. I want a hand to hold, through the bitter and the blue, But I want a woman, and darlin', it ain't you. [Chorus] You can cry, you can shout, but it won't change my view, I want a woman, but I don't want you. It's a hard truth, I won't disguise, Sometimes love ain't where the heart lies. [Verse 2] I want a porch swing, and a firelight glow, A voice that soothes me when the cold winds blow. I need a love that's steady, not a storm crashing through, I want a woman, but it sure ain't you. [Prechorus] There's no shame in the parting, no blame to assign, Just two hearts misaligned, out of time. [Chorus] You can cry, you can shout, but it won't change my view, I want a woman, but I don't want you. It's a hard truth, I won't disguise, Sometimes love ain't where the heart lies. [Bridge] I see the moon rise, and it whispers her name, While your shadow lingers, it don't feel the same. No fault of your own, no wrong you can undo, I just want a woman, and darlin', it ain't you.57 views -
Straight up dime
PullenboyMusicOfficialStraight up dime #jamespullen #music #pbm Lyrics .... [Verse] Down in Georgia, in a little bitty town, There’s a girl who lives just two trailers down. She’s got a big old smile, lights up the night, With her chubby cheeks and her eyes so bright. [Chorus] Oh, she’s so pretty, yeah, she’s so fine, That girl, she’s a straight-up dime. With her blonde hair shining in the summer sun, Lord, I’m lucky just to be the one. [Verse 2] She’s kind of short, but she’s tall in my dreams, The way she moves, she’s a country queen. When she laughs, it’s a melody sweet, And I’m weak every time she looks at me. [Prechorus] Oh yeah, she’s got me feeling so alive, Every moment, just glad she’s by my side. [Chorus] Oh, she’s so pretty, yeah, she’s so fine, That girl, she’s a straight-up dime. With her big old smile and her little dance, She’s got my heart, never stood a chance. [Bridge] She’s more than the curves, more than her face, It’s the way she lights up this small-town place. Her kindness, her laugh, her heart so true, She’s my forever, and she’s my muse.50 views -

Sweet Little Georgia Peach
PullenboyMusicOfficialSweet Little Georgia Peach #jamespullen #music #pbm YouTube: https://youtu.be/K-C5NM4auQY?si=OXdt8eYGDeLKqvr0 Lyrics .... [Verse 1] She’s a sweet little Georgia peach, ripe on the vine, With those chubby cheeks and a smile that shines. Pretty blonde hair falls soft as a breeze, She’s got me weak, down on my knees. [Chorus] Oh, why don’t you give in, like you know you want to, Be my baby, let me hold onto you. I’ll buy you flowers, I’ll give you my heart, With you, girl, I don’t know where to start. Yeah, you’re my sweet little Georgia peach, so fine, Won’t you be mine, oh won’t you be mine? [Verse 2] She’s got a laugh that dances, light as a tune, Eyes like summer skies, bright as June. Every step she takes is a rhythm divine, And that pretty plump behind, oh, it’s one of a kind. [Prechorus] I ain’t no poet, but girl, it’s true, Every word I write is inspired by you. [Chorus] Oh, why don’t you give in, like you know you want to, Be my baby, let me hold onto you. I’ll buy you flowers, I’ll give you my heart, With you, girl, I don’t know where to start. Yeah, you’re my sweet little Georgia peach, so fine, Won’t you be mine, oh won’t you be mine? [Bridge] I’ll build you a house with a porch swing wide, A place to watch the stars, side by side. Every dream I dream, it’s wrapped in your face, My sweet little peach, you’re my saving grace.151 views 3 comments
