Lyrics

Verse 1:
The fog seems to linger
Like it'll never get out
This man will go crazy
From a silence so loud
Well they say be careful
For what you ask for
You might just get it all
And a little more
Chorus:
God says He'll bring home
The weary and the lost
But Lord
At what a cost?
I can't keep working night and day
This cold-iron heart's beating numb
The only time that I look back
Is to see how far I've come
Verse 2:
This fall's harvest
Just won't make it to the table
I gotta try something new
Pay bills how I'm able
At night I sneak up the mountain
Fire up that corn-whiskey still
Warmed by the devil's fire
But God's Word leaves me with a chill
Chorus:
God says He'll bring home
The weary and the lost
But Lord
At what a cost?
Now that wind's howling low
I'm doing my best to beat the frost
I can't keep wandering this old world
Just afraid and lost
Verse 3:
Well I can't run forever
It's a matter of time till I pay
I'm long overdue
For my locked up stay
I see the sheriff draw his gun
There's no more room left to roam
It looks like my Creator
Has finally called me home
Chorus:
God says He'll bring home
The weary and the lost
But Lord
At what a cost?
I won't be working night and day
Called to my home up on high
You've saved this man from himself
Another tear I'll never cry
