Gordon James Lyrics - By A Thread - Gov't Mule

Hey Gordon James, why'd your momma 

Give you two last names? 

Did she have expectations for you? 

Did you let her down like we knew you would do? 

Gordon James, I know we're all subject to change 

But you were way too young to lose your soul 

They say you traded it away 

Did you think you could just buy it back someday 

Gordon James, were you too busy 

Ducking the blame 

To realize that it's you we now fear? 

Maybe someday soon, it will all be so clear 

Were you lonely? 

Yeah, we were all lonely 

Were you scared? 

Yeah, well I'm scared too

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Did your dreams turn black 

Or did you sleep like a child? 

Did your heroes die off 

Leave you alone in the wild? 

Or is this just the path that you choose? 

Were you blinded? 

Yeah, we were all blinded 

The trick is, they say to heal yourself 

Did you just let go of the reigns one day? 

Let the ocean's current wash you away 

Were you all alone when you fell 

Gordon James, did your momma die 

From the shame? 

Was she trying to pull you back into the light? 

But you were way too far gone to save 

Do you even visit her grave

Gordon James, do you think it's too late to change 

To make up for the lives that you bought and sold 

And the war machines that you traded for gold 

Could this be the day that you pray 

Do you think it really matters anyway
