Welding Burns

歌詞

My father was a welder at the navy yard La Palma north atlantic where the winters come down hard After work he did some drinking and sometimes it was a little rough Most nights he gets his fill sometimes you can't get enough Some things you're born to, some things you gotta learn Broken homes, wrecked cars, scars and welding burns Little bottle under the seat hard enough to make you cough Some days you need something to knock the edges off And I swore I wasn't gonna stay here, I used to dream a lot Now I can't remember what it was, that I was dreaming of Some things you're born to, some things you gotta learn Broken homes, wrecked cars, scars and welding burns I used to take her down to lee's mill pond to seen August sun on her brown skin Promised I would take her away, she knew better even way back then Now there a wife, a kid, a dresser draw Filled with pocket tees Little holes burned in each one where the good shirts used to be Some things you're born to, some things you gotta learn Broken homes, wrecked cars, scars and welding burns Some things you're born to, some things you better learn Broken dreams, wrecked cars, broken bones and welding burns Some things you're born to, some things you're born to
