Heirloom

[Verse 1]

She buried me in powder in the rain

She buried me in sapphire wicked pain

After she carried me away

To a place I hadn't chained

After she put out my last cigarette on her boot

A woman makes a boy out of a man

When he thought he knew

Just how he'd play his hand

Who's barking orders at the rook

Make him pay for time he took

After she backstacked every key

That's what she'd do

[Chorus]

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue

And you showed me how the crow flies from your eyes

And I don't mind, I'll do what I'll do

But I won't cry when I leave this town

[Verse 2]

She buried me in progress on the range

She bullseyed from the hip as if she'd aimed

After she heard my complaint

'Bout a place where I felt safe

And how it changed with the elegy I knew

This world has made a boy out of a man

Oh, I thought I knew but I don't understand

Who breaks the reins to which I took

Makes the rules I overlook

Just when I thought I knew

I thought of something true

[Chorus]

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue

And you showed me how the crow flies from your eyes

And I don't mind, I'll do what I'll do

But I won't cry when I leave this town

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue

And you showed me how the crow flies from your eyes

And I don't mind, I'll do what I'll do

But I won't cry when I leave this town
