Colin Weaver - The Other Side
I was born in Michigan
the water’s in my blood
and like a drunken butterfly
I changed homes growing up
tobacco at fourteen
whiskey followed suit
tearing up dead-end streets
with friends that shared my roots, and we screamed:
I don’t want to live in this world
I don’t want to live in this world
send me some place else, send me to another time
life won’t look like hell from the other side
we fell in love too hard
a brick falling out of the sky
I held her fragile hands
she had me walking in a crooked line
and then the stars fell apart
mercury ate the belt
she gave one last goodbye
and all I did was yell
chorus
across the great divide
I turned into someone else
myself and my future combined
and my heart just rebelled
now I’m digging my own grave
with a shovel of love
and when inside I’m laid
I’ll beg the heavens above
chorus
