Early Church – Labor Day Weekend Edition [THROWBACK VIDEO]

EARLY CHURCH focuses on the ‘early years’ of Eric Church’s career, the 2006 ‘Sinners Like Me’ album, and this week, the 2009 ‘Carolina’ Capital-Nashville effort.

Chocked-full of tasty song writing nuggets that may not have garnered radio hits like his most recent singles, but would certainly define his climb from obscurity from small clubs & venues to a major touring powerhouse delivering record-breaking attendance records, not to mention attracting a very loyal fan base who he himself is very loyal to as well.

Let me be your weekly guide to NEW MUSIC that really isn’t new, but just plain & simply, kicks ass!

===========================

"Young And Wild" - [LYRICS]

I wasn't trying to do no harm

I was just trying to prove I was tough

What I lacked in years, I made up in guts

I ain't saying it was smart

Or that I had some master plan

I just grabbed that bottle and off I ran

I got a night in jail and a pissed old man

Young and wild like they said we should've never been

And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin

I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts

Just to call myself a man

I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again

To stay young and wild as long as you can

I wasn't trying to change the world

I just wanted to change her mind

In the backseat of my daddy's ride

No I didn't have a clue

No I didn't have a plan

Oh but I didn't care what I didn't have

Yeah she made me wanna feel like a man

Young and wild like they said we should've never been

And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin

I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts

Just to call myself a man

I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again

To stay young and wild as long as you can

Just stay young and wild as long as you can

As long as you can, just as long as you can
