anthony d'amato - arrowhead lyrics

Loading...

i’ve got a pocket full of arrowheads to keep me safe
my granddaddy found them on the sh0r-s of white lake
he says they’re good luck so i know that they’re fake
still i carry them with me each step that i take

see, my granddaddy worked from the age of sixteen
haulin’ up copper from out of the deep
[i trip out of time, it got] harder to breathe
till one night in the town he collapsed on the street

and oh, how you wonder what you’re gonna leave behind
you’re too broke to fix, and you’re too poor to die
[’round here] a last day, and you learned to regret
it’s all that you’re born with and it’s all that you get

well, the doctor said he just about worked himself to death
his lungs was full of daggers, he was always out of breath
“if you want to stay alive,” they said, “you’d better stay in bed”
he fought the cancer with the whiskey till that k!lled him instead

so, my daddy left school to go lookin’ for work
he moved back to the peninsula to mine the dark earth
took up with the waitress, she was colored like the dirt
back of his [?] took off the skirt

and oh, how you wonder what you’re gonna leave behind
you’re too broke to fix, and you’re too poor to die
[’round here] a last day, and you learned to regret
it’s all that you’re born with and it’s all that you get

one night mamma mixed wine and cheap sleepin’ pills
daddy found her in the mornin’, lyin’ perfectly still
little league saved up, [went to] funeral bill
burial plot way up in the hills

everyone says i’m a fortunate son
that i don’t have to do like my daddy done
see, they found him with his lips around the barrel of a gun
a pocket full of arrowheads he kept for good luck

oh, how i wonder what i’m gonna leave behind
i’m too broke to fix, and i’m too poor to die
[’round here] a last day, and you learned to regret
it’s all you’re born with
it’s all you’re born with
it’s all you’re born with
and all you get
it’s all you’re born with
it’s all you’re born with
it’s all you’re born with
and all, all that you get
