[Chorus] [Harmonica riff with playful twang, guitar alternating bass notes] A rusted truck still gets you home, If you know how to steer the soul. [Verse 1] There’s a table in town with an empty chair, Every voice that’s missed still lingers there, We holler ‘bout lines drawn in the dirt, But love don’t tally up the hurt. [Pre-Chorus] Some folks build walls, others build a song, Funny how the broken notes still sing along. [Chorus] Shine through the rust, the gold don’t fade, Even old scars got a light they made, The past is heavy but the hope’s still strong, We’re all wheels on the same old song. [Verse 2] I seen preachers fight politicians’ lies, While kids just laugh under endless skies, If tomorrow came wearin’ yesterday’s face, Would you still choose mercy, or win the race? [Pre-Chorus] It’s a short road trip from fear to trust, Every fist unclenched turns steel to dust. [Chorus] Shine through the rust, the gold don’t fade, Even old scars got a light they made, The past is heavy but the hope’s still strong, We’re all wheels on the same old song. [Bridge] [Harmonica calls, fiddle answers] Paint your truth on a weathered barn, The cracks don’t hide it—they show your charm. [Verse 3] So raise your glass to the workin’ hands, Every hammer builds more than wood it lands, The choir of the lost, the broken and free, They make the sweetest harmonies. [Chorus] Shine through the rust, the gold don’t fade, Even old scars got a light they made, The past is heavy but the hope’s still strong, We’re all wheels on the same old song. [Outro Chorus] [Full band swell, tambourine, stomps, harmonica soaring] Shine through the rust, shine through the pain, Shine through the storm and the cold hard rain, The road is long but the song holds true, Rust can’t hide the shine in you. [outro musical solo] Rust can’t hide the shine in you. [fade to end] Can’t hide the shine in you. [end]
