Yellow Ledbetter, The Way I Hear It





Raylan always makes fun of me because I get song lyrics wrong. This video is but a small glimpse into how I perceive songs. Potato wave.

These are the real lyrics, but don't read these until after watching the video first.

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said i dont know whether
I'm the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay...

Make me cry

Ooooh I see
I dont know theres something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh I said I dont, I dont know whether Im a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay
I dont wanna stay (2x)
Dont
Dont wanna
Oh... yeah... oooh...

  1. Your videos are not showing up on my computer, work or at home....I must be the one with the problem or am I?

  2. It's funny cause the REAL lyrics don't even match up with what he's saying. So NO one can feel bad for misunderstanding this one.

    I've always wondered what this song is about. I take it that a girl receives a letter that her boyfriend/husband is dead?(maybe military-related?) And WHO's perspective is this from??
