Made That Way

Another grizzled morning of cold bone and skin
‘could take more than black coffee to get rollin’ again

I’m ten hollow fingers still scratching at the door
’cause the old keys don’t work anymore

I’m a pack mule going nowhere, a dog too old to teach
Lost horizons are just out of reach

The wife smiles, the kids laugh, it’s cozy inside
Have I found it, have I lost it or has it died?

There is no perfect song
There is no grand design
The melody’s lost in discord and wasted time
What happened to the world
I lived in yesterday?
Even my blues have gone to gray
I must have been made that way
I must have been made that way

I believe in warm love but I choose cold rain
I sing of peace and deliver the pain

Was I born to suffer or bask in the light?
Or wander the endless night?

There is no perfect song
There is no grand design
The melody’s lost in discord and wasted time
What happened to the world
I lived in yesterday?
Even my blues have gone to gray
I must have been made that way
I must have been made that way

Even my blues have gone to gray
I must have been
I must have been made
That way
