[Gm] Some that left a child [Eb] and did [Cm] not even care
[Gm] Before the first shot saw the battle [D] here
It even pierced the air
Yes, [Gm] they run now like them children to [Cm] those arms of mother
[Gm] Tryin' to pretend as if it was the [D] day before their very birth
But me, I just grab these ropes that me [C] and mine have left behind
And [Cm] I stare up to [Eb] that mountain that [D] I know I got to climb
I keep [Gm] towin' that line
Mmm-hmm [Cm]-hmm
I keep [Gm] towin' that line
Mmm [D]-hmm -hmm
[Gm] Down in basements, choked, [Cm] smoke child of the past
[Gm] All them dreams come up for air around here, but [D] they can only gasp
And all [Gm] them old men, they sit starin' as life [Cm] slips out of their grips
Only to [Gm] fall and disappear beyond [D] their cracked old fingertips
But me, I just grab these ropes that me [C] and mine have left [E] behind
And I [Cm] stare up to that mountain that I [D] know I got to climb
I keep [Gm] towin' that line
Mmm-hmm [Cm]-hmm

[Gm] Down in ditches by [Cm] that road I call my own
All [Gm] them ditches come up cursin' now, [D] and I'm just throwin' stone
And yes, [Gm] that bit meant now to settle down [Cm] in life so still it hold
If [Gm] I could spend my life the way [D] they do, just as they're told
So if you should find me livin' low when [C] the miles have passed me by
And [Cm] it seems that I [Eb] have left now [D] all that I could love behind
I'm just towin' [Gm] that line
Mmm-hmm [Cm]-hmm
I'm just [Bb] towin' that [Gm] line
