Home Ain't Never Home Lyrics - Lost Ground - Defeater

I'm wandering these streets alone 

They don't feel like home 

This once hallowed ground 

Feels like a ghost town now 

I'm on the street corners everyday 

At night I drink it away. 

And this flask that saved my life 

Might be the death of me. 

And no man in this city 

Will take a chance on me 

The color of my skin 

Is all they see. 

I was a hero when I came home 

Now no one seems to know 

And that medal that I received 

Means nothing to me 

I keep reading my momma's prayers 

I find nothing in there 

That makes any sense to me. 

Her god 

Is no more 

Than a thief. 

Gonna pack up 

Gonna leave town 

On a train car 

Headed north bound 

I'm gonna leave 

I'm gonna leave. 

With my lost hope 

I'm gonna get out 

Carry burdens, 

Carry my guilt 

I'm gonna leave 

Carry burdens 

Burdens 

Burdens 

My burdens 

I watched the good men fall and brave boys die 

Hearing soldiers sob in the dead of night 

Every poor young soul that dies in vain 

Every soldier lost in this country's name 

I carry guilt and my shame 

No pride and no name 

Just burdens 

Burdens 

My burdens 

My burdens 

My guilt and my shame 

No pride and no name 

Just burdens
