8 Minutes

Today I turned 33 My oldest didn't call Middle's outta state And the youngest lives here with me It's not just a town It's a final resting place When I die from choices I refused to make It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home May the places our hearts first broke All burn down And what was lost Rise up from the ground I'll hold you closer Than a shadow holds a wall A child holds a doll The way you catch me when I fall It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones I'm a long way from home Only so many days we can own I'm a long way from home
