[Chorus: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, belted, full drums]
Check the seam, it holds
Hotter than the sun and steady as it goes
Grade me hard, baby, grade me slow
Check the seam, it holds

[Verse 2: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, rougher]
Somewhere in the second year I started laying slow
Not to fool her, just to make it worth the time she'd go
Chipping off the slag until the bead came up clean
Prettiest thing I ever made was the thing she'd seen
Sat with her at lunch on the tailgate in the dust
Turns out she was failing me because she gave a damn and trust
Said a weld that lies will kill a town somewhere downstream
I said a man that lies is worse, and she just said, I mean

[Bridge: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, raw, strings climbing]
Last joint on the line, sun going down
Whole crew standing quiet on the cold brown ground
Laid it letter by letter with my hood pulled tight
Two little words and a prayer in the light

[Verse 3: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, words in the bead, fervent, strings rise word by word, drums come down full weight]
Here she comes, the clipboard and the light
Runs it slow along the bead from the left to the right
M, she stops, A, she starts to shake
R, R, Y, and the whole crew holds for her sake
Me, she reads it out loud to the wind
Pulls a red tag off her board and she grins
Writes it in the marker that she failed me with for years
Accepted, and she's laughing through the tears

[Chorus: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, belted, full drums, last time]
Check the seam, it holds
Hotter than the sun and steady as it goes
Grade me hard, baby, grade me slow
Check the seam, it holds

[Outro: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, belted, strings ring out and fade]
It holds
It holds

[End]

[Verse 1: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, loud, strings and heavy drums] Hood down, rod lit, wind across the line Three hundred miles of steel and every joint of it is mine Dee comes walking with the clipboard and the light Never says good morning and she never says I'm right Failed me in the spring and she failed me in the rain Failed me on a Friday when I swore I felt no pain Every crew around me tried to sweet talk her on by She just ran her light along it, looked them in the eye [Chorus: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, belted, full drums] Check the seam, it holds Hotter than the sun and steady as it goes Grade me hard, baby, grade me slow Check the seam, it holds [Verse 2: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, rougher] Somewhere in the second year I started laying slow Not to fool her, just to make it worth the time she'd go Chipping off the slag until the bead came up clean Prettiest thing I ever made was the thing she'd seen Sat with her at lunch on the tailgate in the dust Turns out she was failing me because she gave a damn and trust Said a weld that lies will kill a town somewhere downstream I said a man that lies is worse, and she just said, I mean [Chorus: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, belted, full drums] Check the seam, it holds Hotter than the sun and steady as it goes Grade me hard, baby, grade me slow Check the seam, it holds [Bridge: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, raw, strings climbing] Last joint on the line, sun going down Whole crew standing quiet on the cold brown ground Laid it letter by letter with my hood pulled tight Two little words and a prayer in the light [Verse 3: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, words in the bead, fervent, strings rise word by word, drums come down full weight] Here she comes, the clipboard and the light Runs it slow along the bead from the left to the right M, she stops, A, she starts to shake R, R, Y, and the whole crew holds for her sake Me, she reads it out loud to the wind Pulls a red tag off her board and she grins Writes it in the marker that she failed me with for years Accepted, and she's laughing through the tears [Chorus: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, fervent, belted, full drums, last time] Check the seam, it holds Hotter than the sun and steady as it goes Grade me hard, baby, grade me slow Check the seam, it holds [Outro: Fervent fire-hearted male vocalist, belted, strings ring out and fade] It holds It holds [End]
