[0:09]Old photograph it just turned brown and dustly here. We weren't the kind they hung on the wall. Perfect and new. Fought off the hunger, weathered the wind, the sun beat us down. Still found a reason to stand side by side and that lonely parched town. Something in the way the shadows fell across the hard ground. You looked away just slow enough to say everything without a sound. Our crooked heartland stretched across years. Through the rough and the plain, cracked by the sorrow, soaked by the tears, marked by the sting of the rain. Still held us together, bound to the bone, a tie that time couldn't break. Even when fractured, we weren't alone for goodness sake.
[1:37]Remember that old porch swing groaning beneath our shared weight. Carried our burdens, nowhere to go, just talking it late. The silence between us spoke more than words a comfort a truth. A haven for stray, forgotten birds living out our youth. Something in the way the shadows fell across the hard ground. You looked away just slow enough to say everything without a sound. Our crooked heartland stretched across years. Through the rough and the plain, cracked by the sorrow, soaked by the tears, marked by the sting of the rain. Still held us together bound to the bone, a tie that time couldn't break. Even when fractured we weren't alone for goodness sake. They might have seen flaws, a jagged design, in the tapestry we spun. But in my soul's ledger, you were always mine 'til our course was run. Rooted in the desert, deep down below, found water and held fast. Watched our spirits grow, a story meant to last.
[3:46]Our crooked heartland stretched across years. Through the rough and the plain, cracked by the sorrow, soaked by the tears, marked by the sting of the rain. Still held us together bound to the bone, a tie that time couldn't break. Even when fractured, we weren't alone for goodness sake. Just a trace of memory soft on the breeze as the sun dips low. That old tattered feeling forever at ease, how deep did it grow. We belong. We belong.
