Adam Cain - The Beautiful South, Pt. II: Son (20 Years Later) Lyrics

Well the Dallas folks all know his name
But they don't get the songs he plays
The songs he plays are free but not for freedom
And he sings them up and down the creek
And the women he meets are not able to speak
'Cause he leaves them with an altered sense of rhythm

Well the Trinity River's alright by me
But Lake Louisville is what I need
While all he needs is a place to set his coatrack
Well he left his woman went off to war
Left her with some open sores
And he takes her medicine but its not for healin'

I'll take you to breakfast if it's just in the morning light
And I'll beg for forgiveness, but it's not me who made you cry

Fallin' in and out grace, your destructive nature incinerates you
The casket had your name on it, but that's just 'cause he paid for it
All you wanted is nothing less than a pulsing heart that pounds through your chest
And I want that heart to love someone else

Well he holds you close and calls your name
But then he leaves and sneaks out the back gate
And you're left not knowing if he'll be returning
So down your medicine down it fast
There's not much left let's hope it lasts
And I saw you danglin' from the hotel window

And I'll take you to dinner as long as that's the end of the night
And I'll beg for forgiveness, but it's not me who made you cry

Fallin' in and out grace, your destructive nature incinerates you
The casket had your name on it, but that's just 'cause he paid for it
All you wanted is nothing less than a pulsing heart that pounds through your chest
And I want that heart to love someone else

Fallin' in and out grace, your destructive nature incinerates you
The casket had your name on it, but that's just 'cause he paid for it
All you wanted is nothing less than a pulsing heart that pounds through your chest
And a place you can call home
And a name to fill the hole
And a way to give control
To someone else
