Valace - On My Shoulders Lyrics

My momma told me "Boy, you better save your money, fool
You can't afford to pay your rent, but you got brand new shoes"
I met a girl, she said "Don't listen to your mother
We're gonna be together as long as we got each other baby
And by the way, my name is Jenny, nice to meet you too"

At last, the earth and sky apart

This so-called fairy tale ended with a knock on the door
"I want to stay!" "I want you to go! What are you waiting for?"
Now I'm watching her gaze out the window
I cry as I'm walking the way that the wind blows
North to south
I carry my burden with my head in the clouds

At last, the earth and sky apart
At last, the earth and sky apart

The height of the night
And the weight of the water
On my shoulders
I'm standing still
But I keep getting older
On my shoulders
