DESCRIPTION:
A song for my son, Arlo. Merry Christmas from my family to yours...
You're my blood, my only son
You fill my heart with true, unconditional love
I would die to see you live
There's nothing that I'll ever have that I wouldn't give
And when the day gets darker than the night
I'll be there to guide you toward the brightest light
Back to where it all began
Back to the southern graceland
All these years whittle down to days
I've taken my turns through this unpredictable maze
I'm not afraid & free of all envy
When I'm dead lay me down in Tennessee
And when the day gets colder than the night
I'll be there to pull you toward the warm sunlight
Back to where it all began
Back to the southern graceland
And when the day gets darker than the night
I'll be there to guide you toward the brightest light
If you're lost, if you've been led astray
Forget about your past, but don't forget your way
Back to where it all began
Back to the southern graceland
