I woke up this morning
with thoughts of changing ways
in bitter tongues I spoke the words
I’ve never longed to say
inside the mind that makes it up
my better angels sleep in bed
awake to speak “another’s gone”
they found my cousin layin’ dead
You know I never saw myself
as anything but livin’
to tell the truth without them
life could never be the same
I walked on by on nights
that kept me hidden from their sadness
now I’m just one
without the ones who share my name
And I’m alone inside my head
just singing songs without a band
I know the kids who crashed and burned
the ones we’ve buried with our hands
I know a special little girl
that should’ve brought tomorrows smiles
my hurt was lost out in those woods
and I ride dirt for miles and miles ©
