lyrics

My Inheritance
Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler

She buried her money in the backyard,
The green she couldn’t carry from the Earth.
She told only her nurse, and that nurse, she told her boyfriend
And they sped off with everything we’re worth.

So Dad and his brother and his nephew
Spent days trying to dig on up some truth
While grandma laid tight lipped under the ground around her should’ve’s
And those shovels came down harder than the cancer ever could.

Don’t got a light,
Don’t got a map,
Don’t got good intentions or a way of getting back
I’ve been chasing after scattered ashes.

Brother found a better deal the South way,
Nephew hung around as long he could
But there are million dollar ideas every other lot around here
And he’s never gonna find ‘em by playing in the dirt.

Daddy, he’s still digging for a living.
Grandma, she’s still digging in her heels.
And if there’s buried treasure, well, it wouldn’t really matter--
Money can’t bring back a daughter that you’ve wrought of dirt and steel.

Don’t got a light,
Don’t got a map,
Don’t got good intention or a way of getting back
I’ve been sifting through this hourglass,
Chasing after scattered ashes.

Is this my inheritance?
Is this my inheritance?

Don’t got a light,
Don’t got a map,
Don’t got good intentions…

Don’t got a light,
Don’t got a map,
Don’t got good intentions or a way of getting back,
I’ve been sifting through this hourglass,
Don’t tell me that what’s past is passed,
While I’m chasing after scattered ashes.

Don’t got a light, Don’t got a map...
