The Once And Future Carpenter 가사

I ain't from texas, but I made my way from dallas And I know the lonesome sound is following I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand And when to hold, when the queens are staring back at me Once i was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry And I left the timbers rotting where they lay Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die And I don't come from detroit, but her diesel motors pull me And I followed till I finally lost my way And now I spend my days in search of a woman I called purpose And if I ever pass back through her town I'll stay Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die My life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky And when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Well we're all in this together If I live the life i'm given, I won't be scared to die
