๐ Lyrics
Well they call me the desert child
I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost to a Southern Cross
With a heart that runs a mile
While the train it waits arrival
I will learn to read the Bible
I remembered every word
Just to sing like a bird
And whistle on down the line
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell 'em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, imma go west
Imma come home
Well the only road to find her
From the tread underneath the tire
If the fox didn't howl, it'd save us now
From the bid of the highest buyer
And our hair it grew like fire
Like Samson and Delilah
But the rust wouldn't hurt
From the dust and the dirt
That we used to barb the wire
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell 'em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, imma go west
Imma come home
At night the words were spoken
Will the circle be unbroken?
And the voice went higher
From the family choir
And the moon it played in time
And the boxcar disappeared
With a wave from the engineer
And I always come back
For the coin on the track
Cause it made me a millionaire
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, Imma go west
Imma come home
Imma go east, Imma go west
Imma come home
Well they call me the desert child
I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost
To the Southern Cross
With a heart that runs a mile
I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost to a Southern Cross
With a heart that runs a mile
While the train it waits arrival
I will learn to read the Bible
I remembered every word
Just to sing like a bird
And whistle on down the line
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell 'em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, imma go west
Imma come home
Well the only road to find her
From the tread underneath the tire
If the fox didn't howl, it'd save us now
From the bid of the highest buyer
And our hair it grew like fire
Like Samson and Delilah
But the rust wouldn't hurt
From the dust and the dirt
That we used to barb the wire
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell 'em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, imma go west
Imma come home
At night the words were spoken
Will the circle be unbroken?
And the voice went higher
From the family choir
And the moon it played in time
And the boxcar disappeared
With a wave from the engineer
And I always come back
For the coin on the track
Cause it made me a millionaire
Oh my backbone, take me back home
Wherever you are, tell em my star
Will leave the light on
Oh my backbone, harder than stone
Imma go east, Imma go west
Imma come home
Imma go east, Imma go west
Imma come home
Well they call me the desert child
I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost
To the Southern Cross
With a heart that runs a mile
