Burlap

Lyrics by: Ronny Criss                          Copyright2005

My girl’s tied to the railroad tracks and

I got skyscrapers on my back

And all the facts lead to a broken home and we’re not alone

Cause time seems to kick ya when your on the floor

I’m sure it’ll kick ya a just a little more

Before it’s gonna let you die, at least it’ll try

Oh I know exactly what to say

To make this pain slip away and stop that runaway train

And I know exactly what to do

To warm a heart that’s blue

But what will that prove, anyway

My soul feels like a burlap bag

Sturdy, dirty dusty old beat up rag

With a hole right along the seam of my heart

Yours looks like a spent up orange peel

In the dirt twisted like a winding wheel

And you know I hate to see you cry, you’re far too grown

Oh I know exactly what to say

To make this pain slip away and stop that runaway train

And I know exactly what to do

To warm a heart that’s blue

But what will that prove, anyway

And I know exactly what to do

To warm a heart that’s blue

But what will that prove, anyway

Oh I know exactly what to say

To make this pain slip away and stop
