Tyler Childers - Boiler Room lyrics

Once I was a dyin' breed Chewin' on an ancient leaf Before we took the notion To keep up with the times And leave ‘em all behind Chisel to the paper Tattoos on the ether Fadin' in the light All the while I gorge my gut Come the time that I would rut Runnin' high and low To find my prehistoric queen To keep me warm 'til spring When I go out with my friends To graze the land and wonder When I'd see your face again One day I met my doom I took one in the boiler room To put food on the table Of a dying breed of man Once I was a broken heart Once I tore your heart apart Once my heart put out Before I ever got to breathe And my soul returned to sea To come to Earth again Clucking out a living As a favorite laying hen One day I met my doom A fox got in the chicken coop Doing all he knew to do To feed a hungry den On and on down the line I've swam can*ls and [?] Plenty of births along this ride Of being born again Once I was and you were too And we were both the word of truth We built this world together With a loud and mighty bang Lord, it sounded like a train It echoed o'er the land We came up with the game we play Of being born again
