Lyrics:
I blew both my shoulders
At the age of 23
Working toward
Another man’s dream
He’d curse and holler throwing my
Name into the wind
Now I’m burning bridges
Trying to get away
Seems this land is dead now
There’s buzzards overhead
He chopped and swallowed
everything she gave
Now I’m hearing talk of building
As far as you can see
Throwing cities up
On old forgotten graves
Just tell me that it won’t have been for nothing
We’re all gonna make it out alive
Or I’m headed out of Texas in the morning
I’m looking for a new way to survive
Oh I’m looking for a new way to survive
We were drinking ourselves silly
Telling lies to ease the pain
We started this to
Earn an honest pay
But the greed and anger feeding all the
Seed that we had lain
Kept us loyal to the
Butcher of the land
In the cold still night
When the howling echoes low
And the woods creek like they’re
Calling spirits home
You can feel the past that’s sleeping in
The soil under heel
Preaching dead land
Future on the rise
Just tell me that it won’t have been for nothing
We’re all gonna make it out alive
Or I’m headed out of Texas in the morning
I’m looking for a new way to survive
Oh I’m looking for a new way to survive
I’m looking for a new way to survive
Oh I’m looking for a new way to survive
