Smooth stones have fallen once out a sky night like rain I'm outside on the front lawn, beaten black and blue again Lookin' back now I always child my enemies to my friends It always just seemed logical, like something constant, upon you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now then my mother was a Me I've kinda got my hands full, just in a straight line, remembering my own name
(Chorus) I was born in the trees around my Bled fire out into the of the sky The world snapped, beneath feet and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the color out of your eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and the rest behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I out among them trees Bows bendin' like a spider web, and no in for the eye to see Five flies in the skies with the downward pressure of the heat I sneak down that gravel at night till your eye's hotter than the Tennessee concrete
(Chorus) I was born in the around my home Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing that was that died I was born to a cold wind, take the word out of your mouth and right out of your eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest I keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
Clear to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall Ill you right now it's more about the stomach 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 into the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in that downtown Bart out and puddles on his feet I know that some of you out there are starving, but it for lack of something to eat
(Chorus) I was born in the around my home Bled out into 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 color right out of your Just keep what you can now, and leave the rest behind Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the behind
