lyrics

Rattle my Bones
Written by Tom Kimmel & Johnsmith

I get lost from time to time
Runnin’ circles in my mind
I chase my tail and if the truth be told
‘Till I find myself in a deep dark hole

Chorus
So rattle my bones and shake my heart
Call my name if I stray too far
When I need to know I'm not so alone
Shake my heart and rattle my bones

You know me when I lose touch
I run too fast and I bite off too much
I talk real tough like I don't care
I spin my wheels to get nowhere

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Long as I remember
I've walked a lost highway
Did you think I'd ever
Be standing here today

For all the times, I slipped off the track
I would not blame you if you turned your back
But I know you and you never will
And that keeps me climbing up this hill

Chorus
