Mud on the Doorway - Tom Houston

We live in the doorway I fell in love and there was nothing there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You In our tracks Come on in and rest We live in the doorway I fell in love and there was nothing there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You Can you hear your thoughts? Do you fear the worst? Tell me what I am not What I am not I am not Don't tell me that I cannot That I cannot I cannot And I will not Live in the doorway I fell in love and there was no one there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You Life in the doorway Colors us the wrong way You won't lose But you will never win Life in the doorway Colors us the wrong way I would rather try I would rather try I would rather try

If I changed my mind If I changed my faith Every time a stop light signaled Each time I made mistakes I don't think that I would be where I am today I live my life without regrets What you see is, what you see is What you see is what you get and I'm Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed, unashamed Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams I'm counting all my blessings and the gifts I have received Still there's always someone, something to overcome Took all my life to understand that I am what I am, who I am Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Do you wanna know how it goes? Do you wanna control how I feel? Do you wanna stay in my life? Then listen here and listen good You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it right Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills And I got high and I got dry for far too long And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along They called me the wild card And they called me their fool I told them I'd bring 'em that money If they'd get me back to you And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home I got clean and I got a steady job No longer was I running from the emblems of the law And I got clean and I got mean to the bone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

Phases, and fading out almost Took against chances, and squandered a day Fumbling facts-the place and time, the dates and names So leave me a hand up, or leave it alone Procrastinate! What's gone is dead, what's dead is done I move slowly (I know), but moving slowly is a kind of moving And I don't regret the paths I've made or the years I spent doing nothing Growing nothing in a place where every face is old Back to the milk door-the same house, the same walk, the same chore If I'm bored, there isn't anyone blame Wasting wasteland, crumbs of pavement, partial projects put off to vacancy If you're wondering (I'm not), but wondering at all is a wonder to me Do you know what I mean?
