I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas And I know the lonesome sound is following And I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand And when to hold, when queens are staring back at me Once I was a carpenter, and man my hands were calloused I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry And I left the timbers where they lay
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me And I followed till I finally lost my way And now I spend my days in search of a woman I called purpose And if I ever pass back through her town I'll stay
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black dress drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die
And my life is but a coin, it's pulled from an empty pocket Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind And these hopes and these fears go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to dieTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
