| I remember smelling smoke, I woke up I was choking
|
| Lorrie grabbed the baby and we made it safe outside
|
| She never missed a note, took a breath and cleared her throat
|
| And wrapped him in a Carhart coat she found out in my ride
|
| Next thing I remember, I was barefoot in December
|
| When I hit the door again it really came alive
|
| That was all she wrote, in a 30 second note
|
| I got out with a photograph and my old auto 5
|
| Lord knows that I’ve been blessed
|
| I can stand up to the test
|
| I can live on so much less, this much I been learning
|
| Feeling a pounding in my chest
|
| I’m fearful I’ll confess
|
| How am I to get my rest? |
| The house I built is burning
|
| Well Lorrie called the volunteers, siren music to my ears
|
| First I been glad to hear the flashing red and blue
|
| Can’t repay the time they gave, there was nothing left to save
|
| Shake all of their hands and wave they did all they could do
|
| Lord knows that I’ve been blessed
|
| I can stand up to the test
|
| I can live on so much less, this much I been learning
|
| Forgive my cowardice
|
| I’m fearful I’ll confess
|
| How am I to get my rest? |
| The house I built is burning
|
| We snuck away two nights ago, rode around the logging roads
|
| We been stuck in a motor home about to fall apart
|
| We finally made a go, got dealt a heavy blow
|
| She said I’ll bet you make it, its a long way from your heart
|
| Well I know that I’ve been blessed
|
| I can make more out of less
|
| I can get my rest in any bed that I lay down in
|
| Got nothing holding me
|
| Got a couple memories
|
| A picture of the three of us, and my grandfather’s Browning |
