Where the Bones Lay

I want to know where the bones lay
Walk in shadows where the ghosts play
Ain’t no believer in DNA
Truth is told where the bones lay
Truth is told where the bones lay

I wonder, what do I come from
Answers ain’t so easy to be found
Truths lie buried way under chiseled stone
Deep in the cold hard ground

Did I come from poets, kings or thieves
Who got late cousin Annie in a family way
Why’d my grandpa and grandma have to run off
Come to this country anyway

I want to know where the bones lay
Walk in shadows where the ghosts play
Ain’t no believer in DNA
Truth is told where the bones lay
Truth is buried where the bones lay

When you’re young you just don’t give a damn
Folks tell their stories, you want to play
When your November rolls around it’s way too late
Truth is gone, erased
