Smooth have fallen once more out a sky night like rain I'm outside on the lawn, getting beaten black and blue again Lookin' back now I preferred child my enemies to my friends It always just seemed logical, like something constant, upon which you can If my father was an earthquake, now then my was a hurricane Me I've kinda got my hands full, just walkin' in a straight line, my own name
(Chorus) I was born in the trees around my Bled out into 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, the color right out of your eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the behind
I heard stories of those lights as I head out among them trees Bows bendin' like a spider web, and no in for the eye to see flies in the summer skies with the downward pressure of the heat I sneak that gravel at night till your black 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 out of your mouth and color right out of your eyes I keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind I just keep what I can now, and leave the rest behind
Clear to go there's a heavy load, watch the car castle fall apart Ill tell you right now it's more the stomach out here than it is about the heart See a man now playing in a dark caf with back turned Sometimes we've just gotta put our hands the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in that Bart pulls out and puddles on his feet I that 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 fire out into the of the sky The world snapped, your feet and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the color right out of your Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the behind Just keep what you can carry now, and the rest behind
