My mom laid me on a blanket
() ()
wiped the dust right off my face
asked the nurse is he gonna make it?
I was cold and I was scared and naked
She carried me until I broke her back
I took her shoes and lowered my hat
to block the light of a single moon
Chorus:
() () ()
I count the stars and wonder how I
()
ever fell this far. My
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
I burn another down.
I saddle broke a wild scapegoat and
hid the shoes I stole
when the winter nights turned cold
them shoes would have warmed my toes
made it down to Tennessee where I
found some friends to carry me
I hear their backbones creak
Chorus:
() () ()
I count the stars and wonder how I
()
ever fell this far. My
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
I burn another down.
(verse chords):
Im a grounded astronaut
this rock is not my home
I can take this earth suit off
peel the fabric past my bones
(2x)
This is not this is not my home
This is not this is not my home
This is not this is not my home..
This is not this is not my home
This is not this is not this is not this is not this not this is not my home
This is not this is not this is not my home and I count (Chorus)
