Long Line Of Pain Lyrics - Supply And Demand - Amos Lee

comin from a long line of pain 

my family suffered greatly for my gain 

and i think a lot about 

how my daddy died so i would not live with out 

and his heart lives in my song 

the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone 

and I'm back alone far from home 

now my mamma's on her own 

i try to call and see her when i'm home 

after all that she's been through 

all the doctors say there ain't nothin we can do 

and her heart lives in my song 

the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone 

and I'm back alone far from home 

there's a bird outside my window who takes the song where he goes 

and leaves it there 

like a dead man's rockin chair 

and tonight i'm feelin lost and 

headin down the highway out to boston 

i get the sense that i might lose it 

i thank god tonight for the light i got in music 

cause my heart lives in this song 

the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone 

I'm back alone far from home
