Smooth stones fallen once more out a sky night like rain I'm outside on the front lawn, getting beaten black and blue Lookin' back now I always preferred child my to my friends It always just logical, like something constant, upon which you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now then my mother was a Me I've kinda got my hands full, just walkin' in a straight line, my own name
(Chorus) I was in the trees around my home Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The snapped, beneath your feet and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the color out of your eyes I just keep I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of city lights as I head out among them trees Bows bendin' a spider web, and no light in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer skies with the downward pressure of the I sneak down that gravel at night till your black eye's than the Tennessee concrete
(Chorus) I was in the trees around my home fire 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, take the word out of your mouth and color right out of eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and the rest behind I just keep what I can carry now, and the rest behind
Clear to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle 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 caf with everybody's back turned Sometimes just gotta put our hands into the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in that downtown 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 around my home Bled fire out into the of the sky The snapped, beneath your feet and every 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 now, and leave the rest behind Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest
