The Weight of My Name

Verse 1

Stood in the rain on a dead-end road

Forty years of nothing but the rust and the load

Saw a flicker through the window of a broken down church

Heard the thunder roll across the empty dirt

Pre-Chorus

And I swear I felt the ground start to shake

Every stone remembering the choice I couldn't make

Chorus

Run through the fire

Stand in the flame

Nothing to carry but the weight of my name

Run through the fire

Don't look behind

The devil's at my heels and the light's gone blind

Post-Chorus

Fire fire

Burning down the wire

Fire fire

Verse 2

Met a preacher down by the muddy creek

He said boy your soul's been sleeping many weeks

I got nothing but a pocket full of borrowed time

And the river keeps on singing its same old rhyme

Pre-Chorus

And I swear I felt the water turn to steel

Every scar reminding me of how this feels

Chorus

Run through the fire

Stand in the flame

Nothing to carry but the weight of my name

Run through the fire

Don't look behind

The devil's at my heels and the light's gone blind

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Maybe the storm was always mine to ride

Maybe the dark was just the other side

Of a dawn that never learned to wait

While I stumbled toward my own front gate

Chorus

Run through the fire

Stand in the flame

Nothing to carry but the weight of my name

Run through the fire

Don't look behind

The devil's at my heels and the light's gone blind

Outro

Fire fire

Burning down the wire

Fire fire
