[Verse 1] This old porch knows my name, These boards have heard me pray. I've watched the seasons come and go, And carry friends away. The moon still climbs that same old sky, Like it always used to do. Funny how the world's still whole, When it ain't the same to you. [Verse 2] They say wisdom costs an eye, Or so the old songs claim. Mine were paid in different coin, But the hurt still feels the same. Every scar's a lesson learned, Every tear a hidden due. I've paid enough to understand... A little more than I wanted to. [Chorus] I've got the One-Eyed Blues, Walking Óðinn's winding trail. Some days I stand like ancient oak, Some days I ride the gale. I'd choose this road a thousand times, Though it left these boots worn through. The hardest road still led me home... That's my One-Eyed Blues. [Verse 3] I've buried dreams beside the ones Who never made it back. Still I hear two ravens call Somewhere beyond the black. Maybe they're just common birds, Or maybe something's true. Either way, I tip my hat... And listen till they're through. [Chorus] I've got the One-Eyed Blues, Walking Óðinn's winding trail. Some days I stand like ancient oak, Some days I ride the gale. I'd choose this road a thousand times, Though it left these boots worn through. The hardest road still led me home... That's my One-Eyed Blues. [Bridge] I'm no king. I'm no poet. Just a man with weathered hands. If I've learned one thing worth knowing... Stand by the oaths on which you stand. [Final Chorus] I've got the One-Eyed Blues, And I'll carry them with pride. Every mile and every wound, Walks right here by my side. When my song is finally done, And the evening turns to dew, I'll set this old guitar to rest... Still singing One-Eyed Blues. [Outro] The sun sinks low... The coffee's cold... The porch keeps all the truths I've told... One-Eyed Blues...
