lyrics

I was born

I was born in the middle of the ocean
on an island built by man
when the future is unknown
don’t you build your house on the sinking sand

I came up in the age of worry
I came up in the land of doubt
Now, when that wolf she howl at the moon
all I can do is shut my mouth

and I’m sorry Tennessee I don’t miss you
I bet you don’t miss me

You got demons in your soul
Boy, you gotta learn to let them go
before you wake up in that big house all alone
That girl was awful sweet
She was everything I’d need
But I tore her heart out just to feel it beat
Because I’ve never felt a heartbeat in me

Then, I was born
