left for america

Lyrics

lay me on my back a little, an' put my hat on my head, cause i want to sleep out with the stars, not in the dark with the dead, when i'm ready i'll give you the sign, you can gather me up like a quilt, tell my mother i tried, tell my cousin i lied, i was holding your hand out of guilt, cause they never made my way, hold it, i never stole your heart or sort of it, i never knew my place, anyway, they never been my way upon it, i never stole your heart and sold it, i never knew my place, anyway, you cover me up with a thousand whispers, you shuffle me into the night, whistle and hum to the traffic rum, calling us closer to the edge of the light, tell me tales that win my faith and be my champion of dreams, i don't want to forget the day i left for america and things came apart at the seams, cause they never made my way, hold it, i never stole your heart and sold it, i never knew my place, anyway, they never been my way upon it, i never stole your heart and sold it, i never knew my place, anyway, they never been my way upon it, i never stole your heart and sold it, i never knew my place, anyway, they never been my way upon it, i never stole your heart and sold it, i never knew my place, anyway
