	Story Behind the Song song of internal conflict between being found and a deep longing for home. characters are knowingly unique but still wrestle with their felt distance from normalcy. Lyrics Rootless Kin -lyrics/music İMarke Vaske April 27,2002 Who`s to say we`ve got anything to offer. Who`s to say we`re on a path at all. Workingman`s pride and bleedin hearts. Cheap whiskey in blue light and a brother`s love. We`re the common thread drivin on this American song. Baby knows my poison Lord she`ll feed me right on time. She`s eight kinds of pretty lord, her flashin eyes floor me at the sight. Sometimes I believe she`s the one to understand my bleedin heart. Sometimes I believe she`ll be there to see my last light fade. She sees behind the strangers` eyes and knows they ain`t got time for American songs. To anyone else we`re just an old man and some boys with our eyes closed tight and our hearts left open wide. We all come up tough Lord hard enough to know the depths of sorrow. Livin in the heart of the land with its hills, proud and lazy rivers don`t waste no time in sayin what`s right or wrong losin ourselves in feelin what the Band and Townes had said We`re all rootless kin born to sing American songs. But to anyone else we`re just an old man and some boys with our eyes closed tight and our hearts left open wide.
