Waylon - Shadows In The Dark lyrics
[Waylon - Shadows In The Dark lyrics]
Momma tried to make this house a home
Daddy drove a truck
Somebody always told him where to go
We only saw him two times a week
Sometimes he needed days of sleep
But he was doing alright
They grew up poor, lived the best they could
Tried real hard, it didn't do no good
So I took off on my road
A different road than my daddy drove
I was doing alright
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
My brother signed up
Said "Yes Sir" to them stripes
War has colour all brainwashed in their pride
And he came back all tired and mean
Good days too few and far between
He said he's doing alright
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Stories written in my blood
I was born and bound in
The fire raging in my soul
Burning both sides of the candle
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
Daddy drove a truck
Somebody always told him where to go
We only saw him two times a week
Sometimes he needed days of sleep
But he was doing alright
They grew up poor, lived the best they could
Tried real hard, it didn't do no good
So I took off on my road
A different road than my daddy drove
I was doing alright
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
My brother signed up
Said "Yes Sir" to them stripes
War has colour all brainwashed in their pride
And he came back all tired and mean
Good days too few and far between
He said he's doing alright
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Stories written in my blood
I was born and bound in
The fire raging in my soul
Burning both sides of the candle
Like a full steaming train
Helping to lay my own track
Bring on the storms and the rain
Ain't nothing holding me back
Can't nothing tame this wild gypsy heart
I lie in my own way
I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
Chasing shadows in the dark
