heart's tied to the past

Verse 3
Em
Bm
And I hear we weren't welcomed here,
D
at least not in those days

No one needs our drunken,

But we settled in this new place

and we worked it in our ways
Em

And spread our kin upon it in due time

And we fought our losing battles

Verse 5
Em
When I set my sights upon you,
D
we were both still in our prime
Em
We were moving in big circles
D
that I sought out to combine
Em
And I held you in my arms and
D
swore eternal love this time
Em
Tried to lasso brighter futures
D
and let it drag us both behind
Em
Lasso brighter futures,
D
let it drag us both behind

So we aimed our sights westward
D

Expanding our horizons to

some distant shore

Where everyone takes notice of

Em
So that no matter where we are
Em
No matter where we are we're

Em
Now my Christian Southern brethren

will tell you all what for

To keep your heathen ways up in you

But despite our best intentions,

Ever Southern in my carriage,

In the way I bang my head against

my daily circumstance

the glories of our house
