Ashes & Earth

Give me one good reason not to leave this town
Give me one good reason not to go
I've lived my life on open roads
In rest stops, bars and hotel rooms
And I'm not sure where home is anymore

Give me one good reason to come back to this place
Got an aching deep down within my chest
For some place I ain't never seen
To find some grace for where I've been
Looking for a soul on which to rest

So take me back to that mountain
To find me some forgiveness for my soul
Wash me deep in that river
Let the water rejuvenate these tired bones
Give my heart new birth
From these ashes and earth

Some men were made to wander
Some were made for standing still
And both those lonely paths I've traveled down
But I ain't found the voice to sing
From anyone or where I've been
A prophet without honor in his home town

So take me back to that mountain
To find me some forgiveness for my soul
Wash me deep in that river
Let the water rejuvenate these tired bones
Come on, Give my heart new birth
Come on, give my heart new birth
From these ashes and earth
From these ashes and earth
From these ashes and earth
