Melancholy yet vicarious, “Calvin’s Joint” perfectly portrays the struggle of a man trying to recover over a breakup relationship and forget his ex. This song was written for Mac’s younger brother, Calvin.
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna wake up
From sleeping in this same bed everyday
Oh, the storm been coming, I ain't gonna stay
Keep on tryna get on my own way
How many times should
Should I pass on by that big old willow tree
Just to prove that there ain't nothin' here for me?
And let me on my way so cheerfully (So cheerfully)
So cheerfully
[Hook]
Is it something in the way?
Oh, she tellin' me I changed
Lord knows I'm tryin'
Well, I just got to draw the line
And go get my peace of mind
Lord knows I'm trying
Oh, Lord knows
Is it something in the way?
Oh, she tellin' me I changed
Lord knows I'm tryin'
I just got to draw the line
And go get my peace of mind
Lord knows I'm tryin'
(I've been waiting six or seven days for your call)
[Verse 2]
Have I ever told you
That I spend my evenings howling to the moon?
And it feels like every star is shining through
I think I doubt you would doubt me, too
(You gon' doubt me, too)
You gon' doubt me, too
[Hook]
Oh, is it something in the way?
Oh, she tellin' me I changed
Lord knows I'm tryin'
I just got to draw the line
And go get my peace of mind
Lord knows I'm tryin'
Is it something in the way?
Oh, she tellin' me I changed
Lord knows I'm tryin'
Ohh
I just got to draw the line
And go get my peace of mind
Lord knows I'm tryin'
[Outro]
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows I've been tryin', friend
Lord knows, ayy
(Lord knows)
