I started out as a light in my father´s eyes at a Texaco Mama was working overnights on Sam Wilson Road She was a madkap, teenage runaway A year past graduation
She was new in town and he was burning down The place with infatuation
She fired red hot buckshot distress calls across the parking lot; A rebel reeling from the feeling of rooting around for a little repose They chased sunrise with moonshine After tussling and muttering secrets all night I started out as a light in Carolina I started out as a light in my mothers eyes many years ago In the numbing fires of live wires loose in foster homes From my grandpa´s fist to my mothers lips There´s an ancestral impression An American inheritance of trauma and depression
She fired red hot buckshot distress calls across the parking lot A rebel reeling from the feeling of rooting around for a little repose They chased sunrise with moonshine After tussling and muttering secrets all night I started out as a light in Carolina
From the birth canal to the whistle of emergency sirens You´ve got a lot of skins to wear as you try to figure out who you are And it don´t matter what people say Don´t expect them to understand Ain´t nobody someone else´s mistake Life is not always the things you plan Some of us have childhoods that aren´t poems on sight
