歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Truck is idling in the lot
Coffee's cold, it's all I got
Found a book beneath the seat
Class of ninety, life was sweet
Hands are rough from anvil heat
Fifty-two years on my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun is low on diner walls
Watching as the shadow crawls
Ghost inside a denim coat
Salt is heavy in my throat
[Chorus]
Iron, ink, and settled dust
Gold is turning into rust
Shoeing horses, chasing time
No more reason, no more rhyme
Formica's chipped, the light is thin
Wondering where the boy has been
[Verse]
Sarah Jane in the front row
Where she went, I'll never know
Stayed down on the valley floor
Following through the stable door
Hammering shoes for rich and poor
Wishing I had asked for more
[Chorus]
Iron, ink, and settled dust
Gold is turning into rust
Shoeing horses, chasing time
No more reason, no more rhyme
Formica's chipped, the light is thin
Wondering where the boy has been
[Post-Chorus]
Hay is such a holy thing
Way a heavy hammer swings
Joy the quiet morning brings
[Bridge]
No trophies on the mantle shelf
Quiet battle with myself
Didn't change the world at all
Just kept horses standing tall
Through the rain and summer fall
[Verse]
Waitress asks for one refill
I say no, I've had my fill
Spine is starting now to tear
Silver strands in thinning hair
Close the book and leave it there
Breath is cold in evening air
[Chorus]
Iron, ink, and settled dust
Gold is turning into rust
Shoeing horses, chasing time
No more reason, no more rhyme
Formica's chipped, the light is thin
Wondering where the boy has been
[Outro]
