Smooth stones have once more out a sky night like rain I'm on the front lawn, getting beaten black and blue again Lookin' back now I preferred child my enemies to my friends It always just seemed logical, like constant, upon which you can depend If my was an earthquake, now then my mother 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 fire out into the eyes 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 I keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I out among them trees Bows like a spider web, and no light in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer 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 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 just 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 car castle fall apart Ill tell you right now it's about the stomach out here than 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 into the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in that downtown Bart pulls out and puddles on his I know that some of you out are starving, but it ain't for lack of something to eat
(Chorus) I was born in the trees my home fire out into the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and thing that was alive that died I was to a cold wind, take the color right out of your eyes Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind
