Lyrics

[00:09.16] The young man stands on the edge of his porch
[00:14.43] The days were short and the father was gone
[00:19.06] There was no one in the town and no one in the field
[00:23.59] This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
[00:28.28]
[00:37.28] I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
[00:41.82] And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
[00:46.51] I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
[00:51.09] And now I am sure my heart can never be still
[00:55.07] So collect your courage and collect your horse
[00:59.90] And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
[01:04.70]
[01:20.39] Seal my heart and break my pride
[01:24.66] I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
[01:29.25] Align my heart my body my mind
[01:33.85] To face what I've done and do my time
[01:38.80]
[01:53.06] You are my accuser now look in my face
[01:56.77] Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
[02:00.52] So one man has and another has not
[02:04.20] How can you love what it is you have got
[02:07.97] When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor
[02:12.00] Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
[02:15.71] There will come a time I will look in your eye
[02:19.31] You will pray to the God that you always denied
[02:23.10] The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
[02:26.70] I'll say "You haven't met me I am the only son"
[02:31.87]
[02:38.16] Seal my heart and break my pride
[02:41.90] I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
[02:45.69] Align my heart my body my mind
[02:49.58] To face what I've done and do my time
[02:53.82]
[03:08.72] Seal my heart and break my pride
[03:12.20] I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
[03:16.21] Align my heart my body my mind
[03:20.20] To face what I've done and do my time
[03:25.63]
[04:11.30] Well yes sir yes sir yes it was me
[04:16.77] I know what I've done 'cause I know what I've seen
[04:22.05] I went out back and I got my gun
[04:27.48] I said "You haven't met me I am the only son"
