ASH AND BLAME

(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)

What did he expect,

35 years, couple a packs a day?

Now you're sittin' on the plane,

talking on your cel, sifting through

ash and blame.

You'd just a soon have stayed.

Hell, he wouldn't even know where

to find you, never really even

saw you play.

    But one day, Jack - you're gonna do it all differently.

    It's a real, live fact - it's up to you to let the love come clean.

    It's a big, wide smack – gotta get on it with while you're all still here.

    Don't have to fear, run and burn - you can laugh and love and learn.

You should do it for your sister,

it will be a little better having big brother there on the scene.

No matter how it was,

he's a part of you all and one time he knew how to dream.

We can become prisoners in this life,

Only some of us get a glimpse that

how it is ain't always what you're seeing.

    But one day, Jack - you're gonna do it all differently.

    It's a real, live fact - it's up to you to let the love come clean.

    It's a big, wide smack – gotta get on it with while you're all still here.

    Don't have to fear, run and burn - you can laugh and love and learn.
