Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Fifteen years of diesel dust Fighting off the Kansas rust Wrenching on a combine blade Working in the cedar shade Forty-two and feeling worn Between the wheat and rows of corn [Verse] Found her sinking in the clay Left to rot and fade away Dull white paint and faded blue Seventy-six, a ghost or two Step inside the driver’s seat Escaping from the summer heat [Pre-Chorus] Found a picture in the door Tucked beneath the rubber floor A boy with a lopsided grin Where the story should begin [Chorus] Oh, I fix the heavy things But I love the song she sings Bringing back the sugar high Underneath a prairie sky Every bolt and every wire Feeding a forgotten fire It’s more than just a piece of tin It’s letting the good back in [Post-Chorus] Let the bells ring Hear the steel sing Watch the kids run In the evening sun [Verse] I found him on a quiet street Resting up his aching feet He saw the photo in my hand The boy who served the dry land He said he gave it all away To brighten up a kid’s bad day [Pre-Chorus] He looked at me and started crying Said he’d given up on trying But we grabbed a heavy wrench And left that old park bench [Chorus] Oh, I fix the heavy things But I love the song she sings Bringing back the sugar high Underneath a prairie sky Every bolt and every wire Feeding a forgotten fire It’s more than just a piece of tin It’s letting the good back in [Bridge] We spent a month in the garage Chasing down a ghost mirage Sanding down the rougher parts Healing up two tired hearts No one saw the worth in it Until the neon sign was lit [Chorus] Oh, I fix the heavy things But I love the song she sings Bringing back the sugar high Underneath a prairie sky Every bolt and every wire Feeding a forgotten fire It’s more than just a piece of tin It’s letting the good back in [Outro]
