[Verse 1] Almost fifty, back in my old room again Three times behind bars, twice signed the end Started young with the bottle and the pills Chasing something quiet in my head that never stills [Verse 2] Watched a fuel truck coming, thought that was the day Woke up breathing, still here, still in the gray Women came and went, I loved 'em when I could Trusted every one of them more than I should [Pre-Chorus] But give me a canvas, give me a stone Give me some wood and I'll build you a home Give me a lens and I'll show you the light Give me a silver band, I'll get the size right [Chorus] These hands know how to make something good Even when the rest of me never could Rings and wood and paint on the wall Proof I'm still someone, after it all Nobody standing this close to my side Still I keep building, still I keep trying This is where I'm at, not where I'll stay Just a man still standing at the end of the day [Verse 3] Empathy's a curse when you give it all away Helped every stranger, forgot to save the day For myself, for the man underneath the scars Alone in a garage full of unfinished jars [Pre-Chorus] But give me a canvas, give me a stone Give me some wood and I'll build you a home Give me a lens and I'll show you the light Give me a silver band, I'll get the size right [Chorus] These hands know how to make something good Even when the rest of me never could Rings and wood and paint on the wall Proof I'm still someone, after it all Nobody standing this close to my side Still I keep building, still I keep trying This is where I'm at, not where I'll stay Just a man still standing at the end of the day [Bridge] Camaro running, windows down Only place I don't feel like I'm stuck in this town I ain't asking for pity, I ain't asking for grace Just a little more time to find my place [Final Chorus] These hands know how to make something good Even when the rest of me never could Rings and wood and paint on the wall Proof I'm still someone, after it all Nobody standing this close to my side Still I keep building, still I keep trying This is where I belong, for now, not for good One day I'll get back to the man I could
