Lyrics of '49er' by 99 Neighbors

You got this big jacket on
It's got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you that you're wrong
We're in the east like a sunrise
You got this big jacket on
It's got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you that you're wrong
We're in the east like a Sun— (ayy)

My days have been better off with you by my side
Shit became an escape, can never stop
I don't like when it breaks, sunny life
Don't get stuck in the rain, this life a dream
But I'm always awake
I think about it like it's not a mistake
I think about it like it's not only fate
Certain time, certain place
I don't need a life without you, you don't need a life without me
Know that you would never doubt me
Know that you is always proud me
I don't think I say it loudly, I don't ever see us drowning
You the only one to ground me
Know I get it
I found my love quick with you
And I don't regret it

You got this big jacket on
It's got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you that you're wrong
We're in the east like a sunrise
You got this big jacket on
It's got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you I'll be gone
I'm going west to find a goldmine

But would you do it if you really had a chance at it?
Would you really make the plans for it?
Those college courses wasn't transferrin'
My girl, she love me with no hands and shit, yeah

I switch locations by the season, by the month and by the weekend
I be in and out of places while I'm sippin' on tequila
And my shorty busy bangin' on my line 'cause I was tweakin'
But a nigga livin' life, Jordan year, I'm 23, I'm on fire
Sittin' up on the plane hittin' baby through Wi-Fi
Parents keep checkin' in on me, I tell 'em I'm fine
When really it's been a lot that's going on behind these eyes
Might disconnect all the wires

You got this big jacket on
It's got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you that you're wrong
We're in the east like a sunrise
You got this big jacket on
I got a pocket for your halo, I
Can never tell you I'll be gone
I'm going west to find a goldmine

Don't know I'll be back again
Watching your eyes start to dim as the day comes in
We tell ourselves that it's not really happenin'
Maybe we can find some we time
I'd run across the earth in my free time for you
No mountain that I won't climb
I can almost see you climbing from the plane
I will love you like a dream I had last night
Like cotton candy meltin' on my wet mind
Ooh, heaven blesses earth with a rainstorm
While I'm standing in your shower soaked to my core
