Carry Me Home (Acoustic Version)

I was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!" Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree Late nights, early flights is the life for me You get burn by the fire Or get choked by the smoke Well, the thunder does the talking But the lightning does the work Oh, oh, carry me home I'm no good when I'm alone I'm burned out to the bone Can't tell I'm crying 'Cause I'm stoned Dragging my love along the lone road Get your shoes on, get in the car, get the lead out Get over yourself, get everything you need set out One hand on the heater, the other flippin' the radio Full moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road But the sun's coming up Hits my heart like a drug But all my wasted efforts Are piled in a truck Oh, oh, carry me home I'm no good when I'm alone I'm burned out to the bone Can't tell I'm crying 'Cause I'm stoned Dragging my love along the lone road Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place Falling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the Earth Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free-falling face first But at night we were free Near a boat on the sea I'm looking out for you Are you looking out on me? Oh, oh, carry me home I'm no good when I'm alone I'm burned out to the bone Can't tell I'm crying 'Cause I'm stoned Dragging my love along the lone road
