Southern Cross
She was a hard, hard woman with a pilgrim soul
Had a face all lined from I don’t know
Where she has been
But now she’s here with me
We headed North on 29 through Kansas City
4th of July
In the late night fog
There were fireworks to see
And when I’m lost, you are my True North
Carry the weight of my Southern Cross
And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
We were all hopped up on kerosene
Or something else that burns, it seemed
That we would never
Put the fire out
I got down on my knees to pray
Forgot the words I used to say
When I was young
Each night ‘fore I laid down
And when I’m lost, you are my True North
Carry the weight of my Southern Cross
And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
I’ve been counting stars above the water
Evenin’s winding down
Just thinking bout the things I’ve seen and where I’m runnin now
And when the sun comes up tomorrow I’ll be headed out
Yeah that’s the part I know could tear me down
And when I’m lost, you are my True North
Carry the weight of my Southern Cross
And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
And when I’m lost, you are my True North
Carry the weight of my Southern Cross
And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt
Cruz del Sur
Ella era una mujer dura, con un alma peregrina
Tenía un rostro marcado, de no sé dónde
Dónde ha estado
Pero ahora está aquí conmigo
Nos dirigimos al norte por la 29, pasando por Kansas City
4 de julio
En la niebla de la noche
Había fuegos artificiales para ver
Y cuando estoy perdido, eres mi Verdadero Norte
Llevas el peso de mi Cruz del Sur
Y aunque arde, no temes el dolor
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
Estábamos todos emocionados con el queroseno
O algo más que arde, parecía
Que nunca
Apagaríamos el fuego
Me arrodillé para rezar
Olvidé las palabras que solía decir
Cuando era joven
Cada noche antes de acostarme
Y cuando estoy perdido, eres mi Verdadero Norte
Llevas el peso de mi Cruz del Sur
Y aunque arde, no temes el dolor
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
He estado contando estrellas sobre el agua
La noche está llegando a su fin
Solo pensando en las cosas que he visto y hacia dónde estoy corriendo ahora
Y cuando salga el sol mañana, estaré partiendo
Sí, esa es la parte que sé que podría derribarme
Y cuando estoy perdido, eres mi Verdadero Norte
Llevas el peso de mi Cruz del Sur
Y aunque arde, no temes el dolor
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
Y cuando estoy perdido, eres mi Verdadero Norte
Llevas el peso de mi Cruz del Sur
Y aunque arde, no temes el dolor
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barro
