Jesse Ray Smith - Carry Me Lyrics

Caught my eye
When the blinding sun of love had rendered me blind
Lips are cracked and swollen
Fallen like a soldier in the western Texas wasteland of my mind

In the footsteps of our fathers
Who set forth to drink the water to return with only dust upon their tongues
I, in my own skin, had the will to venture out again
To return to the one true love who quenched my thirst

Digging in to cross the border on the run from a woman
Who'd always done the best for me
Maybe finding out the hard way
The long and lonely road way
When love was rolling like a mighty train
I'd hear it sing to the desert wind, to carry me

Carry me away

Cocaine eyes, a sea of darkened waters, wild and uncharted
Oh but this man will never know what's beneath those waves
Ropes are frayed and broken
Cast my line into the open sea as the sun of love is beating on my face

Wide-eyed in the world like a child on a tilt-a-whirl, trying not to scream
Maybe finding out the hard way, the long and lonely road way
When love was rolling like a mighty ship, I'd bear it's bow against the wind, to carry me

Carry me away

When love was rolling like a mighty train
I'd hear it sing to the desert wind, to carry me
Carry me away
