The young man stands
On the edge of his porch
The days were short
And the father was gone
There was no one in the town
And no one in the field
This dusty barren land
Had given all it could yield
I've been kicked off my land
At the age of 16
And I have no idea
Where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust
At the foot of this hill
And now I am sure
My heart can never be still
So collect your courage
And collect your horse
And pray you never feel
The same kind of remorse
Seal my heart and break my pride
Ive nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done, and do my time
You are my accuser
Now look in my face
Your opression reaks of
Your greed and disgrace
So one man has
And another has not
How can you love
What it is you have got
When you took it all
From the weak hands of the poor
Liars and theives
You know not what is in store
There will come a time
I will look in your eye
You will pray to the god
That you always denied
Then Ill go out back
And Ill get my gun
Ill say, "You haven't met me,
"I am the only son."
Seal my heart and break my pride
Ive nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what ive done, and do my time
Seal my heart and break my pride
Ive nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what ive done, and do my time
Well yes sir, yes sir,
Yes, it was me
I know what I've done
Cause I know what Ive seen
I went out back
And I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me,
"I am the only son."

RandomIf we're only ever looking back We would drive ourselves insane As the friendship goes, resentment grows We would walk our different ways~
