My grandaddy was a judge of men til his dying day
Put a few in the ground that had it comin their way
But that life wore him down like a river over stone
He became a man possessed with movin on
I knew a girl once but I never made her mine
She wrapped my heart in chains and dragged it down the line
We parted ways in the Alabama rain
I became a man possessed with easing the pain
There’s a song that plays on the summer wind it blows through the tallest pines
Like a broken hearted muse It wails and it whines
That melody has filled me since I was old enough to sing along
Seeking rest like a man possessed by a long-forgotten song
Ive seen prophets and politicians in the house of the rising sun
And I've seen killers tuck their tails when it's time to draw their guns
But one thing I haven't seen is a love that stays true
As the one you give when you choose to live doing what your meant to do
There’s a song that plays on the summer wind it blows through the tallest pines
Like a broken hearted muse It wails and it whines
That melody has filled me since I was old enough to sing along
Seeking rest like a man possessed by a long-forgotten song
