Strings and Steel

Verse 1 Steel-toe boots and busted knuckles, Guitar hanging from my back. Some folks punch a clock forever... I punched holes through every map. Never asked the world for favors, Never begged for destiny. If the door stayed locked... I'd build another key. Pre-Chorus Some chase silver... Some chase fame... I found something they can't take away. Chorus STRINGS AND STEEL, THAT'S ALL I NEED! One for the heart and one for the bleed. One tells stories, one breaks chains. Both know joy, both know pain. Verse 2 I've seen castles built on lies, Watched 'em fall without a sound. I've seen strangers become brothers Just by gathering around. Every scar's another lesson, Every song's another mile. You can lose damn near everything... If you don't lose your fire. Pre-Chorus The road gets longer... The nights get cold... But a song worth singing Never gets old. Chorus STRINGS AND STEEL, THAT'S ALL I NEED! One for the heart and one for the bleed. One tells stories, one breaks chains. Both know joy, both know pain. Bridge When my voice is nothing but gravel... When these hands are slow with age... If someone finds these old six strings... Let 'em hear every mile... on every page. Breakdown Not every battle needs a blade. Not every victory needs a crown. Sometimes the strongest thing you'll ever do... Is stand your ground. Final Chorus STRINGS AND STEEL, THAT'S ALL I NEED! One for the heart and one for the bleed. One tells stories, one breaks chains. Both know joy, both know pain. STRINGS AND STEEL, THAT'S ALL I NEED! One for the heart and one for the bleed. One tells stories, one breaks chains. Both know joy, both know pain. Outro Just a song... Just a soul... Just enough strength... To carry them both.
