歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
It’s heavy on my knees
Rust and oil and grease
Grandpa’s old latch clicks
Memory does its tricks
I count the socket sets
And all my old regrets
Every dent tells a tale
Of a man who wouldn't fail
[Pre-Chorus]
Banjo picks the dusty air
I feel him standing there
Fiddle starts to sigh
Underneath the golden sky
[Chorus]
It wasn't just the tools
For fixing broken rules
The hammer and the lead
Were words he never said
Now I see the light
Before the fall of night
I’m holding on to grace
In this sun-worn place
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, the steel is cold
But the story’s gold
[Verse]
Found a yellowed page
Hidden by his age
Tucked behind the wrench
On that wooden bench
He wrote about the pride
He used to keep inside
He loved me all along
Even when he was wrong
He didn't know the way
To say what he should say
[Pre-Chorus]
Mandolin begins to ring
I hear the silence sing
Steel begins to cry
As the shadows wander by
[Chorus]
It wasn't just the tools
For fixing broken rules
The hammer and the lead
Were words he never said
Now I see the light
Before the fall of night
I’m holding on to grace
In this sun-worn place
[Bridge]
My phone is in my hand
Sitting on this land
My son is miles away
With nothing left to say
Do I break the chain?
Or let the silence reign?
I’m looking at the sun
Before the day is done
[Verse]
The porch is splintered wood
I’d change it if I could
The letter’s shaking now
I finally see the how
He was just like me
Locked up without a key
But he left this map behind
For a stubborn heart to find
[Chorus]
It wasn't just the tools
For fixing broken rules
The hammer and the lead
Were words he never said
Now I see the light
Before the fall of night
I’m holding on to grace
In this sun-worn place
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, the steel is cold
But the story’s gold
I’m coming home
I’m not alone
[Outro]
