Lawrence - Cross Canadian Ragweed

I was ten years old the day I got caught With some dime store candy that I never bought I hung my head and I faced the wall As Daddy showed me wrong from right He said this hurts me more than it does you There's just some things son, that you just don't do Is anything I'm sayin' getting through Said Daddy I can see the light Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep They don't go away and they don't come cheap Oh there's no way around it Cause this world turns oh lessons learned Granddaddy was a man I loved He bought me my first ball and glove Even taught me how to drive his truck Circling that ol' town square He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl I never heard him cause I knew it all But I sure listened when I got the call That he was no longer there Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep They don't go away and they don't come cheap Oh there's no way around it Cause this world turns on lessons learned Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep They don't go away and they don't come cheap Oh there's no way around it Cause this world turns on lessons learned

If my old truck was a horse I'd have to shoot it Lord the day my ship came in I was waiting for a train Everytime I get a grip, I always lose it I can't find the sunshine for the rain And you know I'm always saying I'm sorry But you stand by me through it all Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Everytime I think I'm off and runnin I'm barely up to a crawl Everytime I get a legup on the ladder of success I slip and fall Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion But the boss says little brother got the call Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Everytime I think I'm off and runnin I'm barely up to a crawl Everytime I get a leg up On the ladder of success, I slip and fall Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion But the boss says little brother got the call Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Seems like everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall.

Drag me to death, like a lit cigarette Took my last breath, like the smoke from my lips I've lied for you, and I liked it too My knees are bruised, from kneelin' to you I've had enough, but you're too hard to quit We've had our fun, now your sugar makes me sick I've lied for you, and I liked it too My makeup's ruined And now I'm laughin' through my tears I'm cryin' through my fears But baby, if I had to choose The joke's on you, oh The joke's on you God knows I've tried to be kind But I will just lay down and die Wearin' a fake smile, oh The joke's on you My heart's gone bad, now it won't beat for you You've had your laugh, now I won't play the fool I've lied for you, and I liked it too But I'm black and blue, from bleedin' for you You strike the match, burn me out so fast Look what we had, now it's turned to ash I've lied for you, and I liked it too My makeup's ruined And now I'm laughin' through my tears I'm cryin' through my fear But baby, if I had to choose The joke's on you, oh The joke's on you God knows I've tried to be kind But I will just lay down and die Wearin' a fake smile The joke's on you

And I will hold you tight Like the moon in the arms of the sky And I will keep you warm I will build a fire in this house And I'll build a fire You fetch the water and I'll lay the table And in our hearts We still pray for sons and daughters And all those evenings Out in the garden, with red red wine These quiet hours turning to years And I, I'll wrap myself Around your heart I'll be the walls of his heart And I, I'll keep a light on To call you back home And I'll build a fire You fetch the water and I'll lay the table And in our hearts We still pray for sons and daughters And all those evenings Out in the garden, with red red wine These quiet hours turning to years And it's all to come For now we're still young Just building our kingdom But it's all to come And I'll build a fire You fetch the water and I'll lay the table And in our hearts We still pray for sons and daughters And all those evenings Out in the garden, with red red wine These quiet hours turning to years It's all to come For now we're still young

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
