Lyrics:
Hope had filled the sky at nighttime.
Diamond in the ring.
Don’t feed your mind.
Maybe I had never pictured bad times.
Brother in the drugstore falls behind.
He’s got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes.
Knuckles that a prizefighter can’t buy.
**I got the world, so I’ll be fine.
I got the sunshine to figure me out.
I’m back to work. That’s over,
Now all I want is fun.
Yeah, my work ain’t hard,
but it’s got to be done.
Tommy left for war with no goodbye.
I never got a chance to ask him why.
But since Tommy always was a tough guy,
I know it’s cuz he thought I’d see him cry.
He had knuckles that could make the devil shy.
Knuckles of a prizefighter held high.
**
I got a war that I can’t fight.
I got the sunshine to figure me out.
I’m back to work. That’s over.
Now all I want is fun.
Yeah, my work ain’t hard,
but it’s got to be done.
**

I got a war that I can’t fight I got the sunshine to figure me out

[@scorklamusic]

The shots/memories of them smiling together are so bittersweet. Beautiful song and video.

[@justinjones1812]

Fantastic stuff, these first 2 singles suggest a masterpiece in the making, can’t wait for the full album! Sneakily became my most anticipated album of the year. I’m loving the authenticity in the lyrics and the genuine expression of emotion in these tunes, a spectacular artist at the peak of his game imo.

[@stymiez]

prize fighter = life saver.

[@varicosevaynes]

Everything Trevor Powers makes is insanely good. He’s never had a single bad song.

[@donseitan]

Beautiful song.
