Carried Home lyrics

The kettle burned because I left it too long

When we were kissing with the radio on

The cat was choking on a rattlesnake bone

The town had gathered around the soldier boy

Carried home

And every summer there was imminent rain

The sick kids ate a bowl of red clay

The late judge teetered in a jon boat

The town had gathered around the soldier boy

Carried home

The broken window and the pretty blue sky

And cold water for my swollen black eye

We shook some money from your mother's old clothes

When all had gathered around the soldier boy

Carried home
