Mat Kearney - Poor Boy lyrics

Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where I've walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like
I've been there in total despair
Now I've tasted and I've touched
A breath of fresh air

'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there

[CHORUS:]
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you have gave me more love that set me free

Like road trips on open roads
Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes
Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling
It's not always best to take the interstate
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast wayMat Kearney - Poor Boy - http://motolyrics.com/mat-kearney/poor-boy-lyrics.html
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray
Narrow is the truth in these days
But all the while I hear a still small voice say
You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own
Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones
The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown
But all the while a voice calls you home

'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Like coming of age on the road less traveled
From the concrete streets to the backwoods gravel
From the cage to the stage as my wings unravel
You won the war though I'm still fighting battles
'Cause I've hoped and I've fallen
I've ran and I've stalled
I've hung up and I've called
I've laughed and I've bawled
But through it all I'm standing tall 'cause I heard your call
Sing it out y'all

[CHORUS]
[OUTRO]
(Into my world and I still believe, and I still receive, and I still believe there's something for me, and something for the rest to see you're gracing your family but something to hold back and I'll raise the day and you'll bring in better, brighter rays, but something there tends to bring me back, and something there that takes on the slack 'cause I want to know you, 'cause I want to know you, it's deeper than the ocean in the world)
