An Ordinary Son Songtext / Lyric

(Bonamassa/Hughes)






Hold my head up high

Now I see you, drying off your eyes

Four seasons, temper all my pain

And I have been sheltered... I accept the blame

For the Tumblin' Dice

I put my ego aside

With fire and anger

I've shadowboxed you all my life

Bring it on yourself, bring it on me

Wrapped up in a box because there is nothing left for free

Gonna' dig a hole, gonna' fall in the dirt

Gonna' redeem myself and rise upon the earth

And I feel, like the time has come

All I ever wanted, was to be an ordinary son

Know the wounds run deep

But I take solace, knowing that hill is not so steep

Pale white cigarette, barn full of hay

But I knew I should't have been there anyway

Gone is the shadow that was cast over

And I just want to live in tranquility

And I believe that we will

Overcome

All the courageous

And all the forgiveness

Walk with me

Walk with me

So thank you for tending our survival

'Cause I know that I took that bread from our table
