"Long Line Of Pain"
I come from a long line of pain
My family suffered greatly for my gain
And I think a lot about
How my daddy died
So I would not live without
And his heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
Now my mamma's on her own
I try to call her and see her when I'm home
And after all that she's been through
All the doctors say: "There ain't nothing we can do"
And her heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
There's a bird outside my window
Takes the song where he goes
And he leaves it there
Like a dead man's rocking chair
And tonight I'm feeling lost and
Headin' down the highway out to Boston
I get the sense I might lose it
I thank God tonight for the light I got in music
'Cause my heart lives in this song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
