From the Day You Were Born

From the day I was born there was a light that called my name
Buried deep somewhere in my soul
And I thought it dissapeared through my darlin's golden tears
Do I follow or I would lose control
Oh I'd follow, or I would lose control

Like an outlaw runnin' from a hangman's noose
I wandered in the dark between the hills
I was hidin' from the sun
In the shadows I did run
I've neglected what my soul would relive
I've neglected what my soul would relive

Hungry as a hound
Drunk as a skunk
I dragged my way on home
And I thought it didn't show, but a mother always knows
All the scars you left to fester on your soul
All the scars you left to fester on your soul

Well the sky'd been cryin' for three damn weeks
Day they let me out of that dirty Texas jail
I was walking I-35 tryin' to bum a ride
Wishin' god would let me out of my cell
Wishin' god would let me out of my cell

Oh I stared up at the sky
Said, "Oh why oh why"
Lord you left me all broken in the cold
Then I swallowed my pride enough to ask you for a sign
Lord let me know I'm not alone
Lord let me know I'm not alone

And I saw break lights, and with tears in my eyes
As I walked to the passenger side door
He said, "Boy I know what you've been prayin' for"

From the day you was born there was a light that called your name
Buried deep somewhere in your soul
And it brought you the truth, and it made you confused
If you don't follow then you will lose control
And oh if you don't follow then you will lose control
