Mike Mains And The Branches - Free lyrics

You want the upscale Downtown new york lights You got your charcoal Success starved eyes You got your art school finished Put beneath your feet Your record player playing Only bobby d You sing "if i could only get a chance To get away All i want is just a chance To show them what i got." Spotlight come Take me away River why don't you slip Into my veins Take me to a place where I can be Free Remember when we said We'd be friends for life That promise slipped out of our hands Like dark to light Remember when we told Stories beneath the sky Of who we were and where we'd been And where we'd wanna go You praised yourself Saying, "i'm such a success" Saying the one that wins Is the one that's dressed To walk the line that's paved with Carpet red Careful now boy you got a swollen head Pride is not what make's It to the mountain Top Pride will never get you to That mountain top We want everything But don't want to pay for it A father's eyes are filled With tears He gave his daughter away Upon an altar in december Weather outside was rain Mother does dishes in the sink In her mind is a plane That held the body of a boy That served and sailed away Into the sky Left her hands His body in the ground His grave echoes with the truth That all we have is now Don't throw it all away
