lyrics

My Father's Father said
that when he was my size
he'd go down to the lake sayin'
there's no truth only lies
town is gone

Well they grow up big and tough
hangin' around this town
and the men stood far from equal
one insult would put you down
to the ground

And the smoldering ash
that brought my body home
I concluded that, the best are not alone

And the cabin walls a prison
for my shallow soul
they would shield me from the heartache
that would surely take it's toll

seal the windows, bar the door
my faith is all I'm given
for the Lord he ain't as stubborn
as I thought before

And the smoldering ash
that brought my body home
I concluded that, the best are not alone

When the gas main shook the sparks' hand
and welcomed warmth to wood
my home became a matchbox
and brighter than it should
I burned

Into ash filled
another ash filled soul
