From the Day You Were Born

From the day I was born there was a light that called my name
Buried deep somewhere in my soul
And I thought it disappeared through my darling's golden tears
Do I follow or I would lose control
Oh I would follow or I would lose control

Like an outlaw running from a hangman's noose
I wandered in the dark between the hills
I was hiding from the sun in the shadows I did run
I was neglecting what I soul would reveal
I was neglecting what my soul would relive

Hungry as a hound
Drunk as a skunk
I dragged my way on home
I thought I didn't show but a mother always knows
All the scars you left to fester on your soul
All the scars you left to fester on your soul

Well the sky been crying for three damn weeks
Day they let me out that dirty Texas jail
I was walking I-35 tryin' to bum a ride
Wishing god would let me out of myself
Wishing god would let me out of myself

Well I stared up at the sky
Said why oh why
Lord you left me all broken in the cold
Then I swallowed my pride enough to ask you for a sign
Lord let me know I'm not alone
Lord let me know I'm not alone

And I saw brake lights and with tears in my eyes I walk to the passenger side door
You said
Boy I know what you've been prayin' for

From the day you were born there was a light that called your Name buried deep somewhere in your soul
And it brought you the truth and it made you confused
If you don't follow then you will lose control
Oh if you don't follow then you will lose control
