[00:38.81]It could be your southern drawl
[00:41.06]or how you limp when you walk
[00:43.38]That makes
[00:44.00]
[00:45.29]me want to say
[00:46.91]
[00:48.47]all those things I never could
[00:50.54]A school boy crush carved into wood
[00:52.91]that fades
[00:53.66]
[00:55.12]in the rain
[00:56.31]
[00:58.06]You were born in a baptist house
[01:00.12]with a rusty spoon inside your mouth
[01:02.62]The taste
[01:04.25]didn't go away
[01:06.19]
[01:07.38]and when the sun comes peaking out
[01:09.75]You work until it goes back down
[01:12.19]the days
[01:13.25]
[01:14.12]are all the same
[01:15.44]
[01:17.06]With a baby boy strapped to your hip
[01:19.31]and a tiny cut above your lip
[01:21.63]That states
[01:23.19]god doesn't save
[01:25.81]
[01:26.56]everyone who buys his book
[01:28.81]some of us Get overlooked
[01:31.31]in a way
[01:33.50]it's a shame
[01:35.11]
[01:36.55]But you still walk in his light
[01:38.55]and say the same words every night
[01:40.86]I pray the lord my soul to keep
[01:43.38]but what about the rest of me
[01:45.82]My faith
[01:46.99]
[01:49.11]can't take the weight
[01:51.80]
[01:56.18]The summers came and left like fall
[01:58.36]ten thankless years of working hard
[02:00.80]The school bell rings the kids come home
[02:03.18]but you still feel like you're alone
[02:04.93]
[02:05.59]Because your husband holds his whiskey glass
[02:08.03]tighter than a hero's past
[02:10.46]You rip those black beads off your throat
[02:12.84]and swap them out for a knotted rope
[02:15.21]The end
[02:16.73]
[02:18.54]is your only friend
[02:21.26]
[02:25.08]You use that final rush of blood
[02:27.20]to say the things you never could
[02:29.58]I pray the lord that you will see
[02:31.95]in my eyes bulge out and my body swing
[02:34.45]Because I now I finally understand
[02:36.64]that jesus is like every man
[02:39.20]He tells you want you want to hear
[02:41.58]until you fall in love and he disappears
[02:43.39]
[02:44.10]My faith
[02:45.41]
[02:47.47]couldn't take the weight
[02:49.60]
[02:53.66]When the weight of the world
[02:55.78]falls square on your shoulders
[02:57.97]A pin prick or missed call
[03:00.72]can somehow destroy you
[03:03.22]We all are victims of warped expectations
[03:08.03]when people can't save us we suddenly hate them
[03:12.66]So much
[03:14.35]
[03:15.03]in fact
[03:17.47]that we lose our grasp
[03:18.97]
[03:19.97]on reality the responsibility
[03:23.84]
[03:24.34]that we have to ourselves
[03:29.34]And everybody else
[03:32.97]when the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders
[03:36.40]A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you
[03:41.59]We all are victims of warped expectations
[03:46.34]when people can't save us
[03:48.59]We suddenly hate them
