lyrics

Mama said trouble
Kills the bad parts of yourself
Well I'm afraid I might not
Have anything else left
I want to get tired
Of staring into the lights
I want to get tired
Of feeling all those eyes on me tonight

I hear a hush come on the crowd
They know I was sent for from out of town
And the ocean of the air
It hangs right there
Nobody out there is breathing
While I'm singing

Mama don't worry
About me on the road
Even trouble knows
You can't squeeze blood from a stone
It's nothing I ain't seen
Since I was a kid
If you got a fire
You sure don't keep it hid

I hear a hush come on the crowd
They know I was sent for from out of town
And the lights burn bright alright2
But tonight I shine brighter
And I reach out into my beginning
