No False Bones


I'm a lost soul unraveling a braided road
Like the locks of the woman that might share my load
I only ever worry over being free
But I get lost in the trifles and they burden me

Imma carry this message on down the line
like a burning bush said exactly what to find
And maybe one day I'll part that great red sea
Or my bones'll whistle in the dust on a summer breeze

No false bones rollin' in my grave
Might stand true but I won't be saved
The winds of change make a hard man free
So when I die don't you weep for me

No smiles here no woman in sight
Think I'll find a stand of trees where I can pass the night
I don't try to be alone but it comes with ease
When everybody lays claim to the world they see 

I found myself standing in some poplar trees
With the sweet dawn shade creeping through those leaves
Well I've burned some steady bridges and the days don't last
But I doubt I could break this bark if I had an axe

No false bones rollin' in my grave
Might stand true but I won't be saved
The winds of change make a hard man free
So when I die don't you weep for me

I grow weary of the hours I keep tucked away
And I fear by this time they've grown into days
I just lose control when my eyes close tight
My dreams can't tell what's wrong or what's right

Now I'm left with wonderings lingering on
so I'll do what I can with what little I've got
I was told I had it in me at a very young age
But if I don't I guess I'll die with an old man's rage

No false bones rollin' in my grave
Might stand true but I won't be saved
The winds of change make a hard man free
So when I die don't you weep for me
