Waylon - Shadows In The Dark

Текст песни

Momma tried to make this house a home
Daddy drove a truck, somebody always told him where to go
We only saw him two times a week
Sometimes he needed days of sleep
But he was doing alright
They grew up poor, lived the best they could
Tried real hard, it didn’t do no good
So I took off on my road
A different road than my daddy drove
I was doing alright
Like a full steaming train, helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain, ain’t nothing holding me back
Can’t nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way, I’m chasing shadows in the dark
My brother signed up, said «Yes Sir» to them stripes
War has colour all brainwashed in their pride
And he came back all tired and mean, good days too few and far between
He said he’s doing alright
Like a full steaming train, helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain, ain’t nothing holding me back
Can’t nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way, I’m chasing shadows in the dark
Stories written in my blood, I was born and bound in
The fire raging in my soul, burning both sides of the candle
Like a full steaming train, helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain, ain’t nothing holding me back
Can’t nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way, I’m chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
