Carry Me Home

Lyrics

I was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy
 Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny"
 Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree
 Late nights, early flights is the life for me
 You burn by the fire
 Or get choked by the smoke
 Well, the thunder does the talkin'
 But the lightnin' does the work
 Oh, oh!
 Carry me home
 I'm no good when I'm alone
 I'm burned out to the bone
 Can't tell I'm crying 'cause I'm stoned
 Draggin' my love along a lone road
 Get your shoes on, get in the car, get the lead out
 Get over yourself, get everything you need set out
 One hand on the heater, the other, flippin' the radio
 "Full Moon" fever, full cup of coffee on an open road
 But the sun's comin' up
 Hits my heart like a drug
 But all my wasted efforts
 Are piled in a truck
 Oh, whoa!
 Carry me home
 I'm no good when I'm alone
 I'm burned out to the bone
 Can't tell I'm crying 'cause I'm stoned
 Draggin' my love along a lone road
 ♪
 Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace
 Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place
 Fallin' backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the Earth
 Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free-falling face first
 Hmm
 But at night we were free
 Near a boat on the sea
 I'm lookin' out for you
 Are you lookin' out on me?
 Oh, whoa!
 Carry me home
 I'm no good when I'm alone
 I'm burned out to the bone
 Can't tell I'm crying 'cause I'm stoned
 Draggin' my love along a lone road
 Ah
 Lone road
