Rory Block Eagles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been beaten, I been robbed, I been left for dead
I've walked the streets alone
With no place to lay my head
I been a million miles, seen the state of the world
A mighty long journey for a lonely girl
I ain't nobody's child
I make nobody happy
Got no friends, family
No one ever did want me
Since the day I was born I been makin' my way
But I've always knew there'd be another day

[Chorus]
I've always knew that a time would come
Said I've always knew that a time would come
Just seekin' a place to call my own
A resting place I call home
That I call home
Ohh, ohh, mm, mm...

[Verse 2]
My parents did not want me
They were just too young
Their lives and dreams were callin'
Takin' care of number one
So I grabbed a guitar
Touched the stainless steel
Never put it down
'Cause of the way it made me feel Now I'm a singer
Of the roots of country blues
You could say I love music
You could say I paid my dues
Immersed in guitar I had no other choice
Inspired by the beauty of a honest voice

[Chorus]
Another chance would come (Another day would come)
I said I always knew another time would come
Seekin' a place to call my own
A resting place that I call home

[Verse 3]
Alright
Open up the window
'Cause there's a freedom in the air
Strains of gospel singers
Leave this world of care
Swing low, reach high, let the music go
Songs for the ages, survived from the soul

[Chorus]
I always knew another time would come
I said I always knew another time, another chance
To get it right
Seekin' a place to call my own
A resting place that I call home
