Volbeat - Light A Way Lyrics






Down by the lake of Mississippi
A boy was born poor and abandoned
And as he walk you could hear him yearning
For a home and he prays

And by the fields he sang for rising
All for his faith and memorizing
All of the songs his mother learned
from the lord himself

Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother
But he feels the deception in his head

Another day was born and rising
and on the stool the boy was trying
To earn a coin for his mother, and hoping
That freedom will lead her away

Mr. Cadillac Blood: Dear little friend
I've heard your story
Please take my hand and I'll promise
We'll find a way and we'll be fighting
For your mother, and her wings

Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother
But he feels the deception in his head

Heaven light a way for another
Let me ease the pain for a fallen
We are on our way so much stronger
Heaven light the way for another
And he feels no deception in his head

Volbeat Light A Way Comments
  1. g.... m....

    I met you the night volbeat played in Winnipeg I will never forget that night cause it was our first night together...your never forgotten I'll continue to light away for you...L.A forever you and I.

  2. A.... R....

    ❤❤❤❤❤😇😇😇 YES SIR ! ❤

  3. U.... G....

    I used to cried when i was alone listening this song back in mexico city

  4. m.... h....

    This song isn't heartfelt for me.. Just a great fu--ing tune! Amazing!

  5. j.... b....

    My love affair with Volbeat began the first time I heard Maybellene I Hofteholder. It wasn't on purpose or anything. I just heard it and knew there was something there. I was like, How could I have missed these guys?!? Before that, H.I.M., the69eyes, and Lacuna Coil were about the only foreign bands I any interest in or knew much about. It wasn't long until Light A Way became one of my all-time favorite songs from any band, from any country, from any continent.




    Volbeat, like H.I.M., is one of those bands that I just never thought that I'd have much of a chance to see live..... at least not without traveling a good distance. But they're coming to Scranton, Pa. this August - and I couldn't be more excited!!! That's virtually in my backyard! I can hear most concerts from my yard. This has become one of those things that I don't even care if I have to go alone. My wife isn't into rock concerts, my son is still too young, I'm not getting any younger and neither are my friends. I'd rather not be "that guy", the old man (42), rocking out alone at a concert. But I don't really care. Hell, I don't even care if I get there early enough to catch whoever else is playing the Knotfest Roadshow - Slipknot included. Seeing Volbeat is on my bucket list. Time to cross them off \m/

    j.... b....

    I bet you had fun :-) next friday they are here in munich/Germany and I didnt know!!! Tickets are sold out... So seeing Volbeat is *still* on my bucket list :-(

  6. D.... D....

    I really like this band but I really hate autotune. This guy can sing so why do they mess up every studio song with this crap. They are better live.

    D.... D....

    D D I think they sound awesome on Albums

  7. L.... L....

    Memories

  8. B.... R....

    Love this song !! Gets me every time

  9. H.... ....

    The ballad and music towards the end are so Elvis like, it's insane.

  10. S.... 2....

    Ich bin süchtig nach diesem Lied 😍

  11. S.... E....

    Got my dad to like Volbeat and after he passed 2 years ago we play this at his birthday, my mom's gone too so this song means a lot to my brothers and I just perfect

  12. s.... k....

    hello everybody, zajebiste to jest

  13. j.... ....

    Brilliant song from a brilliant album. I enjoy every song from guitar gangsters and cadillac blood, which is very rare.

  14. G.... A....

    Gran disco

  15. R.... ....

    This song needs a music video.

    R.... ....

    That would be cool.

  16. T.... J....

    @Evil_Lagoon Check him out on Twitch

  19. J.... S....

    I see 35 dislikes on this song and it makes me want to pull a "Jay & Silent Bob" and track em down and smack em around for being so stupid (not really)!

  20. M.... Z....

    absolut genialer Song

  21. b.... m....

    I seriously can not get enough of this band or song. Absolutely amazing

  22. B.... ....

    The best song💪 (from Volbeat)

  23. T.... _....

    this band brings me back to the days when I had it good and shit was easy. I have no tangible reminders of those days, but I still have the music I listened to. Nowadays, I've always got some bitch or asshole throwing more weight on my back and everywhere I turn, there's some shit I can't stand. What happened to the times when I'd do some field work with my dad and go hang out with his friends out in the country? His friend we'd visit moved, my dad never did any more field work...hell, even school was going great for me. I was in middle school back then, I miss that place...the high school I go to makes me feel depressed just being close to it, even if I'm just passing by it. I've been stuck at home with nothing to do, back then, we'd burn a skeleton of gas a day riding around having a good time. I even remember we'd go out and do stuff...oh man; so many people and places I can hardly remember just disappeared and haven't turned up in years...if I could take it all back and trade all my possessions, I would. I've always got some bullshit to put up with now, back then, things were so good, it doesn't even feel like it happened. T-T

  24. E.... K....

    Such a good song!

  25. G.... ....

    was Driving home in the middle of the night from hospital when i lost my dad in hospital due to Blood poisoning after a bad operation in Norway and whole world collapsed , then this comes on local radio , so this lighted up the road a bit , and this song is so beautiful So may this song please continue to light a way for our fallen and people affected by horrible losses ,Cheers

This song is one that i hold dear to me. Prayers for the person(s) to come forward who killed him in a hit-and-run when he was crossing telegraph on foot. Volbeat rocks!!
