Loblolly Pines (Live AF Version)

Well the loblolly pines they shade the light out of my eyes

And I can finally see just what is going on

I've made my mistakes oh Lord and I just wanna break

But my family's hangin on my heart and soul

And this road that I've made it ain't the one that I'd take

If I had the choice like I did back then

My baby boy is soon to be and goddamn it just kills me

To know my path is beat in front of him

The creator talks everyday just helping me to find my way

Or tearin' me apart in my own mind

But the walk down this spring it seems to help with everything

As I start sinking right into the hillside

Now the vines are overtaking me and the water running on my feet

Is say it feels an awful lot like home

The smell of seng fills the air with a north wind combing through my hair

There's no place I would rather go

And this road, gets lonely

I've seen the bottom of the well

But I know this can save me

Cause I finally feel I've came back out of hell

Guess I finally broke that spell

Now I'm pushin' 90 down the road just wondering where the hell to go

With my troubles likely gaining on me

No matter where the ol road ends they're waiting for me there again

Well I'll drown em out with some tonic in my gin

My body seems to tell me no cause I can't even stay afloat

In the lake of fire that I woke up in

And it's the same sad songs bout all the shit that I've done wrong

Go ahead and call me the prodigal son

And this road, gets lonely

I've seen the bottom of the well

But I know this can save me

Cause I finally feel I've came back out of hell

Guess I finally broke that spell
