Chuck Ragan - What We Leave Behind

These roads never end, 'til they reach the water.
Then in and out, sons and daughters.
When you find your way, drifting through your 'stakes
Will you take the mess you made?
I don't care where you come from or
What your mamma taught you.
All we are is, what we leave behind.

These roads never end, 'til they reach the water.
Then in and out, mothers and fathers.
You are not alone, proof's in the flesh and bone
And young eyes watching you.
I don't care where you come from or
What your papa taught you.
All we are is, what we leave behind.

Will you burn it to the ground?
Bury what can be found?
In the soil under the soul?
In the midst of all the chaos callin'
Will you run or got away from falling?
Well, I don't care where you come from or
What your mama taught you.
All the lessons, right or wrong,
Don't mean you're bound to follow.
All we are is what we leave behind.
All we are is what we leave behind.
