The Housefire
(专辑: A Long Way From Your Heart - 2017)
I
remember smelling smoke, I
woke up I
was choking Lorrie grabbed the
baby and we made it safe outside She never missed a
note, took a
breath and cleared her throat And wrapped him in a
Carhart coat she found out in my ride Next thing I
remember, I
was barefoot in December When I
hit the
door again it really came alive That was all she wrote, in a
30 second note I
got out with a
photograph and my old auto 5
Lord knows that I've been blessed I
can stand up to the
test I
can live on so much less, this much I
been learning Feeling a
pounding in my chest I'm fearful I'll confess How am I
to get my rest? The
house I
built is burning Well Lorrie called the
volunteers, siren music to my ears First I
been glad to hear the
flashing red and blue Can't repay the
time they gave, there was nothing left to save Shake all of their hands and wave they did all they could do Lord knows that I've been blessed I
can stand up to the
test I
can live on so much less, this much I
been learning Forgive my cowardice I'm fearful I'll confess How am I
to get my rest? The
house I
built is burning We snuck away two nights ago, rode around the
logging roads We been stuck in a
motor home about to fall apart We finally made a
go, got dealt a
heavy blow She said I'll bet you make it, its a
long way from your heart Well I
know that I've been blessed I
can make more out of less I
can get my rest in any bed that I
lay down in Got nothing holding me Got a
couple memories A
picture of the
three of us, and my grandfather's Browning
