8 Minutes

[Verse 1] Today I turned thirty-three My oldest didn't call Middle's outta state And the youngest lives here with me It's not just a town It's a final resting place When I die from choices I refused to make [Chorus] It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home [Verse 2] May the places our hearts first broke All burn down And what was lost Rise up from the ground Now I'll hold you closer Than a shadow holds a wall A child holds a doll The way you catch me when I fall [Chorus] It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home [Chorus] It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home
