Sawdust Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight cuts through the dust
Iron hinges thick with rust
Old workbench stained in grey
Sweeping the years all away
Cedar scent fills the air
I feel him sitting there
[Pre-Chorus]
I found a box by the door
Hidden deep beneath the floor
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Bringing the memories back
[Chorus]
A half-carved horse in the pine
Tracing every single line
Chipped paint and rough design
A love that started to shine
Yeah he gave what he had
For a son who was acting bad
In the quiet of the night
He was making it right
[Verse]
Under the saddle and leather
A letter weathered the weather
Faded ink on the page
Writing his heart at that age
The sixteenth rodeo run
He stayed home for his son
To pay for my broken bone
While I felt all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I found a box by the door
Hidden deep beneath the floor
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Bringing the memories back
[Chorus]
A half-carved horse in the pine
Tracing every single line
Chipped paint and rough design
A love that started to shine
Yeah he gave what he had
For a son who was acting bad
In the quiet of the night
He was making it right
[Bridge]
Porch fan humming a tune
Under a big Texas moon
Sawdust on my old boots
Digging down to the roots
He didn't say a word
But his heart was heard
[Solo]
[Chorus]
A half-carved horse in the pine
Tracing every single line
Chipped paint and rough design
A love that started to shine
Yeah he gave what he had
For a son who was acting bad
In the quiet of the night
He was making it right
[Post-Chorus]
He was making it right
In the soft yellow light
The horse is finally done
From a father to a son
[Outro]
