I´m coming from a long line of pain My family suffered greatly for my gain And I think a lot about How my daddy died So I would not live with it
And his heart lives in my song And the melody comes And just as quickly the melody is gone I´m back alone, far from home
Now my mamma´s all alone I try to call her and see her when I´m home And after all that she´s been through Oh the doctor say: There ain´t nothing we can do
And her heart lives in my song And the melody comes And just as quickly the melody is gone I´m back alone, far from home
There´s a bird outside my window
Who takes the song where he goes And leaves it there Like a dead man´s rocking chair
And tonight I´m feeling lost and Headin´ down the highway out to Boston I get the sense I might lose it I thank God tonight for the luck I got in music
´Cause my heart lives in this song But the melody comes And just as quickly, the melody is gone I´m back alone, far from home
