Amos Lee Long Line Of Pain Lyrics

Long Line Of Pain Lyrics

comin from a long line of pain

my family suffered greatly for my gain

and i think a lot about 

how my daddy died so i would not live with
out

and his heart lives in my song

the melody comes and just as
quickly the melody is gone

and I'm back alone far from home



now my mamma's on her own

i try to call and see her when i'm home

after all that she's been through

all the doctors say there ain't
nothin we can do

and her heart lives in my song

the melody comes
and just as quickly the melody is gone

and I'm back alone far from
home



there's a bird outside my window who takes the song where he
goes 

and leaves it there 

like a dead man's rockin chair



and tonight i'm feelin lost and 

headin down the highway out to
boston

i get the sense that i might lose it

i thank god tonight for
the light i got in music

cause my heart lives in this song

the
melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone

I'm back alone far
from home
