Born Again Lyrics by Tyler Childers

Purgatory

2017

[Verse 1]
Once I was a dying 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

[Verse 2]
All the while I'd gorge my gut, come the time then I would rut
Runnin' high and low to find my prehistoric queen
To keep me warm 'til spring when I'd go out with my friends
Graze the land and wonder when I'd see your face again

[Chorus]
'Til the day I met my doom, I took one in the boiler room
To put food on the table of a dying breed of man

[Verse 3]
Once I was a broken heart and once I tore your heart apart
Once my heart put out before I ever got to breathe
But my soul returned to seed and come to Earth again
Clucking out a livin' as the favorite layin' hen

[Chorus]
'Til the day I met my doom, a fox got in the chicken coop
Doin' all he knew to do to feed a hungry den

[Bridge]
On and on down the line, I've swam canals and bore the hide
Of plenty births along this ride of being born again

[Verse 4]
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 and echoed o'er the land
And we came up with a game to play of being born again
