[Intro, Instrumental, BPM 88] Mh hm... [Verse 1] I was raised on a road that don't have a name, Where the dust gets in everything just the same. Traded the sky for a ceiling and a shield on my chest, Told 'em I wanted the work. Told 'em the rest. [Chorus] I'm just dust in the filter, I'm not meant to stay, The city breathes me in and it coughs me away. Ask me where I'm from and I'll give you a name, But the road won't remember me. I go anyway. [Verse 2] Mama, don't ask me to sit by the fire, I got somebody's name I still gotta acquire. You buried him twice — once in ground, once in talk. I'm the one left standing, so I'm the one who'll walk. [Bridge] There was a morning I woke and I didn't reach for the door, Heard somebody breathing and I wanted that more Than the road, than the name, than the thing I came to do. Then I remembered the thing I came to do. [Outro] Go away. Go anyway. Ask me where I'm from and I'll give you a name. Go anyway.
