Capo on third
Em Am
Someone left a child and did not even care
Em B7
Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air
Em Am
Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth
Em B7
Trying to pretend as if there was a day before their very birth
CHORUS
B7 A
But, me I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind
C B7
And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb
Em Am
I keep towin that line Mmmmmm
Em B7
I keep towin that line Mmmmmm
Em Am
But,down in basements choked with smoke child of the past
Em B7
All them dreams come up for air round here but they can only gasp
Em Am
All them old men they sit staring as life slips out of their grips
Em B7
Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked old fingertips
REPEAT CHORUS
BREAK Em / Am / Em / B7 / B7 / A / C / B7
Em Am
I keep towin that line Mmmmmm
Em B7
I keep towin that line Mmmmmm
Em Am
But down in ditches by that road I call my own
Em B7
All of you come a cussin' now all and all just throwing stones
Em Am
Yes they're big men now to settle down and life's so stale and cold
Em B7
As if I could spend my life the way they do just as they're told
B7 A
So if you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by
C B7
And it seems that I have left now all that I could love behind
Em Am
I'm just towin that line Mmmmmm
Em B7
I'm just towin that line Mmmmmm
