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 preferred child my enemies to my friends It just seemed logical, like something constant, upon which you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now then my was a hurricane Me I've kinda got my hands full, just walkin' in a line, remembering my own name
(Chorus) I was born in the around my home fire out into the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the color right out of your I just keep I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I out among them trees Bows bendin' like a web, and no light in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer skies 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 and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the word out of mouth and color right 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
to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall apart Ill tell you right now more about the stomach out here than it is about the heart See a man now playing in a dark caf with everybody's turned Sometimes we've just gotta put our into the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in that Bart pulls out and puddles on his feet I know some of you out there are starving, but it ain't for lack of something to eat
(Chorus) I was born in the trees my home Bled out into the eyes 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 right out of your eyes Just keep you can carry now, and leave the rest behind Just keep what you can carry now, and the rest behind
