Tow - The Devil Makes Three

Someone left a child and did not even care

Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air

Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth

Trying to pretend as if there was a day before their very birth

But, me I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind

And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

But, down in basements choked with smoke child of the past

All them dreams come up for air round here but they can only gasp

All them old men they sit staring as life slips out of their grips

Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked old fingertips

But, me I just grab these ropes me and mine have left behind

Yes, I stare up to demon that i know has got to die

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

(break)

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

I keep towin that line

Mmmmmm

But down in ditches by that road I call my own

All of you come a cussin' now and all just throwing stones

Yes they’re big men now to settle down and life’s so stale and cold

As if I could ever do the way you do just as they’re told

So if you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by And it seems that I have left now all that I could love behind

I’m just towin that line

Mmmmmm

I’m just towin that line

Mmmmmm
