Steel and Silver

[Intro]
[Verse]
Nashville lights in the rearview mirror
The gravel road is getting clearer
I traded pixels for a stethoscope
Running out of that city hope
My portfolio is gathering dust
In a dream I no longer trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Tires humming on the center line
Leaving all that noise behind
County line sign is leaning right
Welcome home in the fading light
[Chorus]
Back to the rhythm of the steel
Finding something that feels real
You’re standing by the barn door
Like you’ve been waiting for more
Scuffed work boots and a slow smile
Stay with me for a little while
[Post-Chorus]
Steel and silver, warm and bright
Holding on through the night
Steel and silver, steady hand
Back home in this quiet land
[Verse]
You’re hammering out the silver heat
Red clay dust beneath your feet
Remember bonfires by the creek?
The secrets that we used to speak?
I left to draw a different life
But missed the edge of the pocketknife
[Pre-Chorus]
Tires humming on the center line
Leaving all that noise behind
County line sign is leaning right
Welcome home in the fading light
[Chorus]
Back to the rhythm of the steel
Finding something that feels real
You’re standing by the barn door
Like you’ve been waiting for more
Scuffed work boots and a slow smile
Stay with me for a little while
[Bridge]
The city was a hollow dream
Nothing’s ever what it seems
But your hands are steady and true
I’m finally coming home to you
No more chasing ghosts in the dark
Just this honest, glowing spark
[Chorus]
Back to the rhythm of the steel
Finding something that feels real
You’re standing by the barn door
Like you’ve been waiting for more
Scuffed work boots and a slow smile
Stay with me for a little while
[Post-Chorus]
Steel and silver, warm and bright
Holding on through the night
Steel and silver, steady hand
Back home in this quiet land
[Outro]
