Lyrics

[00:02.21] Brett Eldredge - Raymond
[00:15.78] I work down at Ashbury Hills
[00:19.40] Minimum wage, but it pays the bills
[00:22.65] Cleanin' floors, and leadin' hymns on Sundays
[00:27.78]
[00:30.15] Catherine Davis, room 303
[00:33.02]
[00:33.90] Sweetest soul ya ever could meet
[00:36.59]
[00:37.15] I bring her mornin' coffee every day
[00:41.21]
[00:43.15] She calls me Raymond, she thinks I'm her son
[00:49.28]
[00:51.46] She tells me "Get washed up for supper before your daddy gets home"
[00:57.03]
[00:58.15] She goes on about the weather, how she can't believe it's pourin' in 1943
[01:07.71]
[01:08.90] She calls me Raymond, and that's alright by me
[01:14.95]
[01:20.20] She talks about clothes on the line in the summer air
[01:23.95]
[01:24.82] Christmas mornin', Thanksgiving prayer
[01:28.45] And stories of a family that I've never had
[01:32.79]
[01:35.47] Sometimes, I find myself wishin' I'd been there
[01:40.72]
[01:41.78] When she calls me Raymond, she thinks I'm her son
[01:47.78]
[01:50.04] She tells me "Get washed up for supper before your daddy gets home"
[01:55.91]
[01:56.78] She goes on about the weather, how she can't believe it's pourin' in 1943
[02:06.66]
[02:07.60] She calls me Raymond, and that's alright by me
[02:14.10]
[02:15.73] There's a small white cross in Arlington
[02:19.59] Reads "Raymond Davis '71"
[02:22.85]
[02:23.54] Until she can see his face again
[02:26.23]
[02:26.78] I'm gonna fill in the best I can
[02:32.16]
[02:33.09] When she calls me Raymond, she thinks I'm her son
[02:39.16]
[02:41.29] She tells me "Get washed up for supper before your daddy gets home"
[02:47.13]
[02:48.02] She goes on about the weather, how she can't believe it's pourin' in 1943
[02:57.64]
[02:58.82] She calls me Raymond, and that's alright by me
[03:04.76]
[03:06.23] She calls me Raymond, and that's alright by me
