Lyrics

I started out in Memphis
Livin' fast and rasin' hell,
Found myself in Dallas
Under the siren's spell,
The walls crashed all around me
I was broke as I could be
Had no leg to stand on
No truth to set me free.

I tried too hard to make it
As I rifled through the keys
Until the world around me
Brought me to my knees
The gods seemed cold and distant
Like an ice capped mountainside
I carried the mark of cain on me
And had no place to hide.

In my hour of darkness
When the night is soft and still
And though I've done the best I can
My mission's unfulfilled.
Yeah, in my time of weakness
When clouds loom wild and grey
There's a hand out there beside me
That loves me 'til this day.

When I think upon
The many things I've tried
And see the world that could've been
It's enough to make me cry,
The dream it leads me restless
Through the shadows of my fears
But still without that vision
I know I'd disappear.

As I stand close to exhaustion
From a day I couldn't win
I don't look for answers
From my evil twin.
I don't lose my soulbride
I do not dismay
For though I may be miles from home
I've never lost my way
