The Stories We Tell

See all the cars on the highway
Chasing something they don't own
You find yourself somewhere
Lost in the great unknown
All these destinations
It's been a while since you called home
All these stories
Chapters that we close
We tell ourselves anything
To keep us going down the road
We grew up cause we had to
Choices are for those on a different path
They called us old souls
It sounds better than little adults
All those expectations
What we fear aint bigger than what we love
All those times
They don't seem so bad
Everyone's got a sad story
But you know nothing lasts
These old scars
Don't tell you much
It's a good story
If you got the time
Ain't no reason
To be who you ain't
God it feels great
To be alive

West of Corpus Christi
In a town called Alice
It feels like a Mexican prison
A couple hundred miles south of Dallas
A man can't let go
He must see it for himself
For him to see that it is so
Thats why I'm letting go
I traveled west
Then I headed south
The heat surrounded me
I could feel it in my breath
A man has to follow
What beats in his chest
There's something about a love
That slipped right out of your hands
Makes you question right where you stand
That's why I'm letting go
What are we running from?
In a world come undone
I'm looking at sky full of stars
Just wondering where you are
Are the questions that rattle our bones
Gonna guide me home tonight
I'm lost somewhere in Texas
Looking for the girl
I was the one who left her standing there
Now I'm the one who's hurt
I knocked on your mommas door
To see where you were
She looked at me like we never met
I guess that's what I deserve
She told me you were married
With a man of the lord
I was looking at artifacts
Photographs of your kin
Her mother was telling me stories
The conversation started to thin
I'm headed back to Atlanta
Not much better than when I left it
This is probably what I deserve it's true
I better get use to feeling blue
