Smooth stones have fallen once more out a sky night rain I'm outside on the front lawn, getting black and blue again Lookin' back now I preferred child my enemies to my friends It always just logical, like something constant, upon which you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now then my was a hurricane Me kinda got my hands full, just walkin' in a straight line, remembering my own name
(Chorus) I was born in the around my home Bled fire out into the of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the right out of your eyes I just what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of city lights as I head out among them 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 your black eye's hotter than the Tennessee
(Chorus) I was in the trees around my home Bled fire out into the 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 out of your mouth and color right out of your eyes I just what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the behind
Clear to go there's a heavy load, the human car castle fall apart Ill tell you right now it's more about the stomach out here it is about the heart See a man now in a dark caf with everybody's back turned Sometimes we've just gotta put our hands into the fire, make sure 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 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 color right out of your keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind Just keep what you can now, and leave the rest behind
