Ashes & Earth

Give me one good reason not to leave this town Give me one good reason not to go I've lived my life on open roads In rest stops, bars and hotel rooms And I'm not sure where home is anymore Give me one good reason to come back to this place Got an aching deep down within my chest For some place I ain't never seen To find some grace for where I've been Looking for a soul on which to rest So take me back to that mountain To find me some forgiveness for my soul Wash me deep in that river Let the water rejuvenate these tired bones Give my heart new birth From these ashes and earth Some men were made to wander Some were made for standing still And both those lonely paths I've traveled down But I ain't found the voice to sing From anyone or where I've been A prophet without honor in his home town So take me back to that mountain To find me some forgiveness for my soul Wash me deep in that river Let the water rejuvenate these tired bones Come on, Give my heart new birth Come on, give my heart new birth From these ashes and earth From these ashes and earth From these ashes and earth
