Because Of You

from Trailways by Steve O'Connell

/

lyrics

I burned down my cemetery home
And drove straight cross the country.
Cuz I felt an aching in my bones
That you said wouldn’t help me.

A stones throw from a gas station dinner
This June breeze seems to cool me.
A phone call from a bridge off the turnpike
your soft R’s always soothed me.

That was your mother. That was your father.
Runaway home.
A new consolation born from creation of stars so bold.
And I will always love you.
I’ve been doing alright and will be tonight again
Because of you.

Carry your weight. Never compromise.
You gotta move fast to be free.
Carry your weight. Measure out your life
In what I’ve given you,
In what you’ve given me

I am your mother. I am your father.
Runaway home.
Your a new consolation born from creation of stars so bold.
And I will always love you.
I’ve been doing alright and will be tonight again
Because of you.
