Silver Lining Service

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusk falls on the cinder block
Turning off the heavy lock
Grease is deep beneath the skin
Where the daily work begins
Three generations on this ground
The loudest hearts make little sound
[Pre-Chorus]
At twenty-two I packed the car
Headed for a neon star
But the gravel called me home
No more reason left to roam
[Chorus]
I fix the trucks that haul the grain
I mend the parts that feel the strain
It’s a silver lining service call
Standing steady, standing tall
No one posts about the grime
But I’m rich in borrowed time
Just a local hand to lend
With a broken heart to mend
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm the local hand
Working on this land
[Verse]
Teenage kids with beat-up rides
Hopes and dreams kept tucked inside
Widows needing one more mile
Paid me with a tired smile
Sun visors hide the secret notes
Scrawled in ink on winter coats
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the steel guitar cry low
Like a ghost from long ago
I chose the wrench over the wire
And I never lost the fire
[Chorus]
I fix the trucks that haul the grain
I mend the parts that feel the strain
It’s a silver lining service call
Standing steady, standing tall
No one posts about the grime
But I’m rich in borrowed time
Just a local hand to lend
With a broken heart to mend
[Bridge]
Nashville’s just a radio station
In this small-town operation
I don’t need the bright marquee
To know exactly who to be
Sometimes I wonder, late at night
Then I see that shop-bay light
[Solo]
[Verse]
Clean electric twang tonight
Everything is doing fine
The smell of diesel and the pine
Trace the family bloodline
I didn't make the big-time show
But I got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
I fix the trucks that haul the grain
I mend the parts that feel the strain
It’s a silver lining service call
Standing steady, standing tall
No one posts about the grime
But I’m rich in borrowed time
Just a local hand to lend
With a broken heart to mend
[Outro]
