Sunday Best for a Tuesday Night

[Intro]
[Verse]
Calloused hands on a steering wheel
Trying to find a way to feel
I traded years for a paycheck stub
Washed the grease in a plastic tub
Now I'm parked by the neon light
Praying I can get this right
[Pre-Chorus]
The Hammond’s humming a heavy tune
Underneath a silver moon
I missed the cakes and the party hats
Now I’m facing all the facts
[Chorus]
Seven years in a cloud of dust
Turning iron into rust
But tonight we’re breaking bread
Ignoring every word I said
Daughter, look me in the eye
Watch a grown man start to cry
[Post-Chorus]
Start to cry (oh yeah)
Tears don't lie
Give it one more try
[Verse]
She’s wearing rings I’ve never seen
Somewhere between twelve and eighteen
I used to hold her on my knee
Now she’s a stranger facing me
The trombone hits a jagged note
Lump is rising in my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
The silver fork is shaking fast
Trying to bury all the past
I built the towers in this town
But let my own house tumble down
[Chorus]
Seven years in a cloud of dust
Turning iron into rust
But tonight we’re breaking bread
Ignoring every word I said
Daughter, look me in the eye
Watch a grown man start to cry
[Bridge]
Lord, I ain't no holy man
Just a worker with a plan
Wash the sins from off my vest
Put my weary soul to rest
I’m standing at the river side
With nowhere left for me to hide
[Breakdown]
[Verse]
She finally smiled a little bit
I didn't think I'd witness it
The steak is cold but the heart is warm
We’re coming out of the winter storm
Seven years is a long, long time
To pay for every single crime
[Chorus]
Seven years in a cloud of dust
Turning iron into rust
But tonight we’re breaking bread
Ignoring every word I said
Daughter, look me in the eye
Watch a grown man start to cry
[Post-Chorus]
Start to cry (oh yeah)
Tears don't lie
Give it one more try
One more try
[Outro]
