Smooth stones have fallen once more out a sky night rain I'm outside on the front lawn, getting beaten and blue again Lookin' back now I always child my enemies to my friends It always just seemed logical, like something constant, which you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now then my mother was a Me I've kinda got my hands full, just walkin' in a straight line, remembering my own
(Chorus) I was born in the around my home Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath feet and every thing that was alive that died I was to a cold wind, take the color right out of your eyes I keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I head out among trees Bows bendin' like a web, and no light in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer with the downward pressure of the heat I sneak down that gravel at night till black eye's hotter than the Tennessee concrete
(Chorus) I was born in the trees around my Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing that was alive that I was born to a cold wind, take the word out of your mouth and color out of your eyes I just keep I can carry now, and leave the rest behind I just keep what I can carry now, and the rest behind
Clear to go a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall apart Ill tell you right now it's more about the out here than it is about the heart See a man now playing in a dark caf with everybody's back Sometimes we've just gotta put our hands into the fire, sure that it still burns Red in that downtown Bart pulls out and puddles on his feet I know that some of you out there are starving, but it ain't for of something to eat
(Chorus) I was in the trees around my home Bled out into the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing that was alive died I was born to a cold wind, take the right out of your eyes Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the behind Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest
