Lyrics:

Couple beers with the reverend
Am I safe from the night?
More money to the system
Am I free from the fight?

I left myself behind in my home town
Went looking for a new place, you won't find me around

I made peace with my country
Though I never could believe
Somebody else's struggle
Is the reason that I flee

There's none that miss me, they never thought I'd go
So many things about me, nobody seems to know

[Chorus]
Can you carry more
If you leave me back?
What's left to take?
Who's lives come last?

I can find fewer reasons
Against the need to run
Than my hands to bear a burden
A weight I can't overcome

There are reasons I worry, there are answers I fear
Is there love enough to save us? Will it find us out here?

[Chorus]
I counted my fortunes
With time left to spare
My doubts all outnumbered
Regardless of what's fair

Need to find a way to carry myself through the day
Let grief lie behind me and learn to look away

[Solos]

[Chorus]
