Eric Church

Songwriter: Robbie Robertson

Boards on the window, mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for?
Ophelia, where have you gone?

The old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of Ophelia
What went wrong?

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama, you know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Yeah you know I'd die for you

Ashes of laughter, the coast is clear
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like Ophelia, please darken my door

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama, you know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Yeah you know I'd die for you

They got your number, scared and runnin'
Yeah I'm still waiting for the second comin'
Of Ophelia, come back home

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.”
