Out of the asphalt, out of the stone
Within these factories we learned to sow
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
Out of the asphalt, out of the stone
Within these factories we learned to sow
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
Abraham is dead
They told me on the phone
Smoke was in the air
Wrapped around my soul
And I hear your words among the sand
I'm never right with a rifle in my hand
Heading back now, heading back now
Am I too far gone?
Am I too far gone?
Out of the asphalt, out of the stone
Within these factories we learned to sow
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
I'm so far from home
In someone else's war
Abraham is dead
He got what I deserved
Never was the one to feel the blame
Wonder how this world drove me insane
Heading back now, heading back now
I'm behind your door
I'm behind your door
Out of the asphalt, out of the stone
Within these factories we learned to sow
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
Coming home tonight
Coming home tonight
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
Show me Detroit
In the morning
Keep it steady
On the drive home
Show me detroit
A better morning
Show me Detroit
In the morning
Keep it steady
On the drive home
I'm coming home tonight
Coming home tonight
I was a soldier, you were my shield
Children of asphalt, no time to yield
