[Verse 1]
Honey, honey
Honey you still prey on my mind
I tried thumbing', freight train jumping'
Baby nothing' leaves you behind

[Chorus]
So I jump up, find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been counting'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep moving' on and get longer gone

[Verse 2]
Now there are those who
Swear that I belong in a padded room
Cause I can't sleep, baby you keep
Creeping' up like the light of a crescent moon

[Chorus]
So I jump up, find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been counting'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep moving' on and get longer gone

[Verse 3]
It would be easy if I never loved you
Found someone new
But until I do

[Chorus]
I jump up, find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been counting'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep moving' on and get longer gone

[Outro]
Honey, honey
Honey you still prey on my mind

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
