Carry Me Home

Carry Me Home - Shovels & Rope

Composed by：Cary Ann Hearst/Michael Trent

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

You burn by the fire

Or get choked by the smoke

Well the thunder does the talking

But the lightning does the work

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

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

But the sun's coming up

Hits my heart like a **

But all my wasted efforts

Are piled in a truck

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

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

But at night we were free

Near a boat on the sea

I'm looking out for you

Are you looking out on me

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
