Carry Me Home

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

You burn by the fire

Or get choked by the smoke

Well, the thunder does the talking

But the lightning does the work

[Chorus]

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

Dragging my love along a lone road

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But the sun's coming up

Hits my heart like a drug

But all my wasted efforts

Are piled in a truck

[Chorus]

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

Dragging my love along a lone road

[Bridge]

Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace

Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place

Falling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the Earth

Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first

[Pre-Chorus 3]

But at night we were free

Near a boat on the sea

I'm looking out for you

Are you looking out on me?

[Chorus]

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

Dragging my love along a lone road

Lone road
