lyrics

I'll call my first son Elliott
He'll grow up and won't forget
He'll be happier than you
I'll call my first son Elliott

Three dollar thrift store stocking cap
Light today's first cigarette
The perfect name to fit your face
I'll call my first son Elliott

Sketches, scraps, and lines all spiral bound
Brother swing that door behind and lay your bottle down

I'll call my first son Elliott
He'll grow strong and proud of it
He'll be happier than you
I'll call my first son Elliott
