Zach Bryan - Oak Island

Rail-Tie worker
I’ve been layin’ ties on
Coal in the ground
But I’m leavin’ this evenin’
on the same tracks I laid down

There’s some boys out in Jersey
that are calling me out by name
I got a reason to believe
I ain’t glory bound anyway

And if you’re reading this letter
tell my mother and my brother that I love ‘em
He’s got the better blood of my old man and our cousins

But he made a bad deal
with some boys out on Oak Island
And if he don’t pay they say
they’re bound To find him

But if I find ‘em
on that island first
The worst is yet to come
‘Cuz no blood in the mud i’s raised in spends
Life on the run

And I went to Jay’s tavern
and it happens that them boys were there
Recognized his backside
from the color of our mother’s hair
And my brother found another way
to make himself a decent little livin’

He turned around and found himself a lickin
only blood could give him
And I told him I was there to keep him clear of that island
He said, “I love you Mickey but I found out that I’m them.”

And I got some bad blood
with some blood out on Oak Island
And if he stays I say I am bound to find him

But if I find ‘em
on that island first
The worst is yet to come
Cuz no blood in the mud we’s raised in spends
Life on the run.

[amberearheart]

I am obsessed with the music at the end… I love the song itself tho I love all the storytelling songs of his, this reminds me of Crooked Teeth

[Charliedunavan]

This one definitely needs a music video.

[creepernumber]

pink skies, 9 ball, and this song are the best in the album

[laurenshipky]

This is the best song ever it reminds me of my dad (who lives a cross the country from me) and it makes me feel is overwhelming feeling of happiness and sadness I have never felt with any other song currently I just left his house for the last time this summer ( me and my family come back to where he lives for the summer) and I have blasted this song since then with so many tear coming down my face

[alekoscapelli]

Best song of the record, IMO. Overall a great work as usual, cheers from the Italian Alps!

Oak Island, NC? Lived there as a kiddo and would put on concerts out in my carport for my neighbors with my karaoke machine. Lived a few blocks from the beach with my mom and my two little brothers. Life was good. 🩵 anyways, I dig the song. 😂

Love this song. That echo-ey driving sound with the horn just hits. Not sure if I can overplay this one but I'm gonna find out.
