lyrics

They call me the brokeback son
In a town that wouldn’t screen the movie
Cast by comparison
Same boots worn by yours truly

I never meant to bring
Upon the slightest bit of shame
To be the darkened stain
Beside the family’s name

I’m writing to you now
Only to let you know
I’ve been whittled down
To the edge of this last note

And the words, they don’t come easy
For fear of what they’ll do
The pain that I’ve been living with
Is a different pain that lives with you

I’m not the one you asked for
But I’m your only son
I can’t be any other
When the day is done

I’m a sinner for loving sincerely
According to your faith
I’m wondering what it is you’re fearing
You’ve said God don’t make mistakes

Though judgement has been driven
Through the palms of my hands
The sacrifice I’m living
Is a story you may understand

I’ve always been an outlaw
In the truest sense
The love in my heart
Is beyond the barbs of a wire fence

I’m not the one you asked for
