My momma laid me on a blanket
Wiped the dust right off my face
"That's the nicest you're gonna make it"
I was cold and I was scared and naked
So carry me til I'm broke it back
Took your shoes and lowered my head
To block the light of the single moon
And I count the stars and wonder
How I ever felt this far?
And my cigarette it sparkles to the ground
Ohhhh and I burn another down
Sadle broke a while scapegoat
And the shoes I stole
Cause when those winter nights turn cold
Those shoes would've warmed my toes
Made it down the Tennesse where I
Found some friends to carry me
Yeah, I can hear their backbone creak
And I count the stars and wonder
How I ever felt this far?
And my cigarette it sparkles to the ground
And I count the stars and wonder
How I ever felt this far?
And my cigarette it sparkles to the ground
Ohhhh and I burn another down
I'm a grounded astronaut
This rock is not my home
I can't take this Earth so long
Heal fabric past my bones
This is not, this is not my home
This is not, this is not my home
This is not, this is not my home
This is not, this is not
This is not, this is not...
This is not, this is not my home
This is not, this is not...
This is not my home!
And I count the stars and wonder
How I ever felt this far?
And my cigarette it sparkles to the ground
And I count the stars and wonder
How I ever felt this far?
And my cigarette it sparkles to the ground
And I burn, I burn
I'm burnin' down, down, down
I'm burnin' down, down, down
I'm burnin' down, down, down
I'm burnin' down
