I'm Alive

Engines rev and trumpets roar I don't hear your voice no more And living isn't worth the fear of dying Wrapped up package torn up clothes Empty days and deep dark holes The only thing that keeps a man from crying Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride Oh cause I'm alive Whispers in a losers dream Holding on to not a thing Cause these arms now are paralyzed without you to hold Bold with crazy have no fear Children cry and then I hear The message my lies tell me in my dreams Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride Oh cause I'm alive Maybe if I caught the rain In pails that filter out the pain I'd realize why you had to go Days of lightning show the way And night time creeps and holds at bay The missing you, the mean, the cold, the ugly Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride Oh cause I'm alive --- I'm Alive - Shelby Lynne
