Eric Church

Songwriter: Robbie Robertson

Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need to lie
You tell me that you're dyin' when I know it's not true

Now, me and Jake, we work down on the river
On the ferry Baltimore
When Jake don't rise up in the mornin'
People lined up along the shore

Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need to lie
You tell me that you're dyin' when I know it's not true

Yeah I'll take you to the cleaners
Rye whiskey to the grave
River Woman, don't you come no closer
'Cause me and Jake got no time to save, oh, oh

Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need to lie
You tell me that you're dyin' when I know it's not true

Dirty Dan, he came up from Savannah
Carried a mean streak in his eye
Now, him and Jake both wanted Annabella
I guess one man here has got to die

Now get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need to lie
You tell me that you're tryin' but I know it's not true

Come on ow get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Oh get up Jake, there's no need to lie
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Now Annabelle is cryin' and it's all for you

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.”
