Once And Future Carpenter
I ain't from Texas but I made my way from Dallas and I know the lonesome sound is following. I ain't a gambler but I can recognize a hand when to hold the queens a staring back at me. Once I was a carpenter and man, my hands were calloused. I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight. I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry, and I left th' timbers rotting 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, we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die. I don't come from Detroit but her diesel motor's pulled me an' I followed til I finally lost my way, An' now I spend my days in search of a woman they call Purpose, an' if I ever pass back through her town, I 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com and when the black dress drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender and remember, we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die. My life is but a coin pulled from an empty pocket, dropped into a slot of dreams of sevens close behind. Hope and fear go with it, and the moon and the sun go spinnin' like the numbers and the fruit 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 dress drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender and remember, we're all in this together. If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die.
