Jobe Fortner Drops a Heater with “27”
A week before his 27th birthday, Jobe Fortner releases his newest single “27”. This soulful song is going to be an instant classic for any Jobe Fortner fan. Co-writers on the new single are Ryan Nelson, Bryan Frazier & Jeff Hodge.
Jobe says’s
“I’ve always been fascinated by the “27 club” but hoping it was just a myth in the end. So many of the greatest artists of all time had to leave this world at the young age of 27. As a musician, I’ve seen friends and myself go through a lot physically, mentally, and emotionally in this business and what it can do to a person to literally wear their heart on their sleeve! This song reflects all of that for me”.
A powerhouse of a song with the lyrics to match. Jobe, highlights some of his heroes in the song as well who themselves never made it past the age of 27, giving nods to Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin & Jimi Hendrix. Stream the song today everywhere you get your music, this is a must-listen song from our friend Jobe Fortner.

27
(Fortner, Nelson, Hodge, Frazier)
Lord Knows we live a crazy life
light up like a match and we burn so bright
We all think it’s going to last a while
yeah, we never know when and we never know how
wonder if I’ll end up just like Janis
give it up one day like Kurt Cobain
go to sleep and not wake up like Hendrix
Maybe I’ll just go my own way
I wonder if I’m fitting up In Heaven
Will I make it past 27
Late nights were made for living hard
And hard times put miles on your heart
It ain’t like we can see the cards
Yeah, so we’re running this mother to it falls apart
wonder if I’ll end up just like Janis
give it up one day like Kurt Cobain
go to sleep and not wake up like Hendrix
maybe I’ll just go my own way
I wonder if I’m fitting Up In Heaven
Will I make it past 27
Never been the kind for staying long
Make my mark then move along
Playing loud, and loving strong
Hoping there singing it when I’m gone
wonder if I’ll end up just like Janis
give it up one day like Kurt Cobain
go to sleep and not wake up like Hendrix
maybe I’ll just go my own way
I wonder if I’m fitting Up In Heaven
Will I make it past 27
Hope I make it past 27
Hope I make it past 27
