Tied down with a full heart, lived my wild days from an early startFell hard at 22, landed softly right by youA gasp for breath, a mountain air drove across the plains with no caresChasing dreams like wildfire in my kids' eyes, I see that desireThey're pulling me from way back whenTied to the old ways of all my kinPreaching the word down in minesOut in the hay fields beneath the Seneca skiesStrike me down if I cut family tieBorn to a world that's all been found, proud of these songs I sing loudFirst comes first on meFor you under God, it's those baby bluesGone away from time to timeBut that don't mean I don't tie a linePull me back if I fall throughDamn silver, damn gold tooThey're pulling me from way back whenTied to the old ways of all my kinPreaching the word down in minesOut in the hay fields beneath the Seneca skiesStrike me down if I cut family tiesFor who am I satisfied?For me in the past, it's converted,Not a friend, not a baby Boom, boomTeacher this is a dreamzastanetvacc Whoops MichaelWas I pretty?Just excuse meCast lasted one nightTime is a slimenoiteầucentimeterssecondmake thatloadI haven't dinner yetGood morningThey're pulling me from way back whenTired to the old ways of all my kinPreaching the wordDown in the minesOut in the hay fieldsBeneath the Seneca skyStrike me downIf I cutFamily tiesThose family tiesThose family ties
