Antioch Lyrics
[00:18.64] His eyes are bloodshot
[00:30.52] He's loaded and locked
[00:32.74] Thumbing through revelation down at Antioch
[00:37.38] Can't call the law 'cause the sheriff is his kin
[00:41.90] And There'll be hell to pay when he comes stumbling in
[00:46.78] Leave it alone
[00:49.89] 'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
[00:56.15] He used to beat her real good, I could hear the screams and yells
[01:01.15] And that ain't something you can fix with JB Weld
[01:05.69] I hate him so much even though I bear his name
[01:10.75] I can't take him right now but one day that's gonna change
[01:15.92] When I get grown
[01:18.20] 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
[01:21.86] Hide the bruises and hide the scars
[01:29.72] Hide your tears, hide who you are
[01:34.73] Smile for the camera and pretend it's a happy home
[01:42.05] I got in a little trouble on the day I turned sixteen
[01:48.39] Got busted stealing cars at the Dairy Queen
[01:52.84] They say I'm a product of my raising
[01:55.68] Now I'm working for Uncle Sam
[01:57.95] But how am I gonna be all I can be when I don't know who I am
[02:02.45] And I'm alone
[02:04.49] 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
[02:10.99] I'm getting stronger, I'm getting mean
[02:17.16] I'm learning about killing I'm, learning 'bout me
[02:21.94] I'm learning to survive out here in the sand
[02:27.02] I'm thinking about mama, I'm thinking about recompense
[02:31.33] So I carry on
[02:33.27] 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone
[02:40.06] Let the rain wash the blood away
[02:45.45] Is the blood of the lamb really enough to save
[02:50.20] Someone like me with everything that I've done wrong?
[02:56.46] They got me in Coffield
[03:21.70] I'm locked up tight
[03:23.50] Guess I had a little blood lust from the Fallujah nights
[03:27.47] I'm trapped in the wreckage standing in the flames
[03:33.18] Wrapped up in something that was never gonna change
[03:37.37] But then I came home
[03:41.02] Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone
[03:45.52] Then I came home
[03:49.57] Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone
[03:54.06] (Now daddy's gone)
[03:58.54]
[00:30.52] He's loaded and locked
[00:32.74] Thumbing through revelation down at Antioch
[00:37.38] Can't call the law 'cause the sheriff is his kin
[00:41.90] And There'll be hell to pay when he comes stumbling in
[00:46.78] Leave it alone
[00:49.89] 'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
