Carry Me


No longer prisoned roaming free
No force of wisdom can punish me
My gambling money slips away
And it's too late now to change my ways

A ghost in plain sight illuminates
And by my porch light I see it sway
While my window shutters shake
I won't forget my last mistake

If red hot fire be my death
I want to walk out with nothing left
And like a miner digging coal
My soul is empty my body's cold

And with a shovel I dig my grave
This road had ended no soul to save
There's no shelter from howlin’ wind
Dripping thunder under my skin

My days of hard luck have come and gone
My life of sin is catching on
My days of hard luck have come and gone
My life of sin and slinging guns

Break me open and take my soul
Gonna ditch my heavy load
I used to fly now I float
Going to find my golden coast

Carry Me
