Smooth stones have fallen once more out a sky night like I'm on the front lawn, getting beaten black 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 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 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 right out of your eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I head out among them Bows like a spider web, and no light in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer skies with the pressure of the heat I down that gravel at night till your black eye's hotter than the Tennessee concrete
(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 that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the word out of your mouth and color right out of your I keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest
Clear to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall Ill tell you right now it's more about the stomach out here than it is about the See a man now playing in a dark caf with everybody's back Sometimes we've just gotta put our hands into the fire, make sure that it burns Red light in that downtown 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 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 color out of your eyes Just keep you can carry now, and leave the rest behind Just keep you can carry now, and leave the rest behind
