Before you, your mom and your dad used to smoke in the Texas sun.
 G      
They were young once too.
     G        C9     G           
And your mom she found Jesus,
  C9    Em                       
while your old man stepped out and drew up his veins.

       G             C9     G
It's quiet in the house of the old.
  C9   Em                          G                        
You can hear through grinding teeth, clocks taking their tool.
        G          C9        G
'Cause time has a mind of its own,
 C9     Em 
Like our sun spinning around.
     
It wont slow for you now.


 G                    C9
Oh I wanna catch in a song,
               G
Notes I don't hear yet.
                     C9
But I will when I'm gone.


      G     C9     G
I've been pouring my heart up,
 C9          Em             
Up through the floor boards,
                         
But you don't live here anymore.


G                        C9
Oh you wanna catch in a lens,
             G                        C9
Color your green eyes don't see just yet.


G  C9   G  C9  G
 
      G
The horse man,
          C9          G
They all blow out their torches.
 C9  Em                      
I can still see you shining out.
     G             C9      G
But you sleep in a bed for a giant,
 C9     Em
While you wait for your love to come home.
                                      G  G  G  C9 G  G  G
But you don't know, she's not coming back.


G                       C9
Oh I wanna find out I'm wrong.
           G              C9
And every road leads us home.
G                 C9           G         
Oh but I'll never know, 'cause i keep my eyes closed
     C9
And only go where I've been before
