Ryleigh, Oh Ryleigh

from Farther Along by The Hangman's Son

/

about

A song written for a loving girlfriend, a best friend, and so much more. Written as an extension of a light-hearted joke, but strengthened by the personal and the true.

Written with love.

lyrics

Well Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so mean?
Don't you know your manners oh so well?
I said, Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so mean?
Don't you know your manners oh so well?

Yeah, you told me once, don't make you tell me again.
Yeah, you told me once, don't make you tell me again, oh no.
You told me once, don't make you tell me - not one more time, cause
Ryleigh, I know that you are mine.

Well Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so cold?
Don't you know that lovin' warms that heart?
I said, Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so cold?
Don't you know that lovin' warms that heart?

I said, give me your lovin' don't make me take it away.
I said give me your lovin' don't make me take it away.
Give me your lovin', don't make me wait - not one more day, cause
Ryleigh, my lovin's here to stay.

Well, Ryleigh, Oh Ryleigh why's it gotta be so hard?
Don't you know it's easy if you try?
I said, Ryleigh, Oh Ryleigh why's it gotta be so hard?
Don't you know it's easy if you try?

Well, you try it once, you don't ever try it again.
I said, you try it once, you don't ever try it again, oh no.
You try it once, you don't take your time, but that's fine, oh, fine, cause
Ryleigh, I know it turned out right.

Well, Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so sad?
Don't you know them tears can break a man?
I said, Ryleigh, oh Ryleigh why you gotta be so sad?
Don't you know them tears can break a man?

We'll close your eyes and wipe those tears away.
I said, close your eyes and wipe those tears away today.
Close your eyes and take my hand, we'll make our stand here.
