Lyrics Matthew Good

Matthew Good

Empty Road

Throw away your anger

Throw away the sheath

Charge and spike your heavy guns

Because that ain't no kind of belief

Dream of where it left you

When you were still too young

To know the difference between the faith in your heart

And the politics of looking dumb

It's all I know

This empty road

It keeps me looking for a place in your heart

It's all I know

Said brother are you weary?

Said sister are you safe?

Has this world got you thinking

That it ain't nothing but jailers cage?

Well child there ain't no worries

And child it ain't no thing

Because this world's too old to hate you

And too young to give up spring

It's all I know

This empty road

It keeps me looking for a place in your heart

It's all I know
