My Mother's Shame

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Well, it never paid to get too close They say you hurt the ones that you love the most See, forgiveness never found this place And I was to born run a losing race I carry the weight of the bastard son In a Model T Ford with a loaded gun I know peace will never come my way Until I reach my dying day If I disappear for weeks on end Don’t bother asking where I’ve been It’s my cross to bear to carry this broken name And share my mother’s shame We’re just blood and guts and self-concern And it seems to me we will never learn As if those of us misunderstood Are somehow bound to do no good So you can make your plans and cry for me But I won’t be there at the hangin’ tree I’ll be runnin’ fast on the whiskey road Chasin’ down another midnight load If I disappear from ‘round this place Don’t mourn for me or plead my case It’s my cross to bear carry this broken name To share my mother’s shame If I disappear for weeks on end Don’t bother asking where I’ve been It’s my cross to bear to carry this broken name And share my mother’s shame
