Those dead eyes

Those dead eyes
That blank stare
When you have it
It's more than I can bare

That no speaking
That quiet house
When you do it
Feels like fire I've been doused

The slamming of the door
The room does shake
When you leave
It's more than I can take

When you lie
It does hurt
I won't worry
Cause I did try

Born down here

Born down here
Hold it against me
Got my ways
Don't miss them days

Born down here
Got my way of talking
Have a way of thinking
Don't like it start walking

Born down here
I love everyone
Not like some of you
Down here way it's done

Born down here
Got my customs
Got my past
Them things didn't last

Born down here
Time we change
We could do better
Right here in LaGrange
