Tow The Devil Makes Three

[Verse 1]
Someone left a child and did not even care
Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air
Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth
Try and pretend as if it was a day before their very birth

[Pre-Chorus]
But me, I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind
And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb

[Chorus]
I keep towin' that line, mm-mm-mm-mm
I keep towin' that line, mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
But down in basements choked with smoke, child, of the past
All them dreams come up for air 'round here, but they can only gasp
And all them old men, they sit staring as life slips out of their grips
Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked ol' fingertips

[Pre-Chorus]
But me, I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind
And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb

[Chorus]
I keep towin' that line, mm-mm-mm-mm
I keep towin' that line, mm-mm-mm-mm
