Another edition of Jeff Kurkjian's Classroom Cover this time with the very talented students of George Washington High School!
They worked very hard on this arrangement that was actually put together by Jeff using his years of piano lessons and experience as a college a cappella singer. A big shoutout to our friends at Jersey Mike's in Feasterville (182 W Street Rd) for providing these kiddos with some lunch.
And also, thank you to the amazing people at Ashley Homestore for their support of Jeff Kurkjian's Classroom Covers.
Sing A-Long With The Lyrics!
I'll bet you're up there, making' new friendsI'm pretty sure you're lovin' every minuteIf there's a golden pond full of fishI bet you already caught everything in itI bet you're making everybody laugh with your jokesI know you're holding nothing but the best kinda hopeShining a light up there with a big ol' smile, yeah
And meanwhile, down homeOh, you know mama's still cookingThem down home gritsI promise I'm workingWith this guitar 'bout as hard as I canI met a girl, bought a housePut a nice little payment, down homeIs still there where my heart isThis down home kid is just how you left himI still hate that you're gone, I wish you were hereBut I hope I'm making you proud'Cause I know you're up there looking down home
There ain't a day down here that goes byThat I don't climb up in my F-150On a backroad bumping Charley PrideYeah, every song keeps you right here with meI got a daughter now I really wish you'd have metYeah, she's walking now, but I know you see every stepI wear the number fifteen every chance I getSo when you're looking through the clouds, daddyYou can bet
That down homeOh, you know mama's still cookingThem down home gritsI promise I'm workingWith this guitar 'bout as hard as I canI met a girl, bought a housePut a nice little payment, down homeIs still there where my heart isThis down home kid is just how you left himI still hate that you're gone, I wish you were hereBut I hope I'm making you proud'Cause I know you're up there looking down home
