The young man stands on the edge of his porch
FCFG
The days were short and the father was gone
CG#A#D#
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
FCFG
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
CG#A#D#
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
FCFG
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
CG#A#D#
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
FCFG
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
CG#A#D#
So collect your courage and collect your horse
FCFG
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
CG#A#D#
Seal my heart and brake my pride
FCFG
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
CG#A#D#
Align my heart, my body, my mind
FCFG
To face what I've done and do my time
CG#A#D#
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
FCFG
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
CG#A#D#
So one man has and another has not
FCFG
How can you love what it is you have got
CG#A#D#
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
FCFG
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
CG#A#D#
There will come a time I will look in your eye
FCFG
You will pray to the God that you always denied
CG#A#D#
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
FCFG
I'll say, 'You haven't met me, I am the only son'
CG#A#D#
Seal my heart and brake my pride
FCFG
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
CG#A#D#
Align my heart, my body, my mind
FCFG
To face what I've done and do my time
CG#A#D#
Seal my heart and brake my pride
FCFG
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
CG#A#D#
Align my heart, my body, my mind
FCFG
To face what I've done and do my time

CG#A#D#
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
FCFG
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
CG#A#D#
I went out back and I got my gun
FCFG
I said, 'You haven't met me, I am the only son'
