lyrics

I hear dog barking on Christmas Eve night
I bet he thinks he is the one that brings that sun back to life
But don't laugh, that's just like us you know
We got both hands off the wheel but we think we're in control

I've been thinking about what you said at the Motel 6 the other day
Life ain't the dreams we blame, it's the beds we make
Cause these old songs they ain't getting me by anymore
Sometimes I wanna take off running right through the screen door

Lord, ain't you tired of being old?
Don't you want to be young?
If you are and you can't take anymore
Find me and we'll know what sins are for

I'm the first son of the fifth sharecroppers daughter
And I'm first in line if this heart it needs a martyr
I'm tired of trying, I'm tired of just getting by
Salvation lies just beyond that state line

Lord, ain't you tired of being old?
Don't you want to be young?
If you are and you can't take anymore
Find me and we'll know what sins are for

Your brother, he never came back home from Iraq
You sent off your heart, they sent you a flag back
They call him a hero, you're strong, you're a saint
But all you want is to see him come thru the front gate

I listened to your heart beat a old song on Christmas night
Like the star of Judea, in the quiet it shined bright
But don't cry, that's just like the world you know
To demand a song when the beat wants to be alone
