Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tied down with a full heart in my wild days from an early start Fell hard at twenty-two, landed softly right by you Gasp for breath in mountain air, drove across the plains with no cares Chasin' dreams like wildfire, in my kids' eyes I see that desire [Chorus] They're pullin' me from way back when Tied to the old ways of all my kin Preachin' the word down in the mines Out in the hayfields, beneath the Seneca skies Strike me down if I cut family ties [Verse 2] Born to a world that's all been found, proud of these songs I sing now First comes first not me or you, undеr God it's those baby blues Gone away from timе to time, but that don't mean I don't tie a line Pull me back if I fall through a damn silver, damn gold too? [Chorus] They're pullin' me from way back when Tied to the old ways of all my kin Preachin' the word down in the mines Out in the hayfields, beneath the Seneca skies Strike me down if I cut family ties [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] They're pullin' me from way back when Tied to the old ways of all my kin Preachin' the word down in the mines Out in the hayfields, beneath the Seneca skies Strike me down if I cut family ties Those family ties Those family ties
