Tin Harp

[Chorus] Sun beats down on the platform wood Dust devils dance where the train once stood Got my girl, my Lily, headed into town This old ranch is finally goin' down Old leather case and a harmonica bright Just a farmer's wave in the fading light [Verse] Forty years I've worked this land Sweat and soil, you understand Now the bank man's got the deed Planted a different kind of seed Saw your mama's eyes in your own Now you're leavin' me alone [Pre-Chorus] Got your shoes, your favorite pair Laces loose, hangin' in the air I kneel down, my knees are sore Tie 'em tight, like never before [Chorus] Sun beats down on the platform wood Dust devils dance where the train once stood Got my girl, my Lily, headed into town This old ranch is finally goin' down Old leather case and a harmonica bright Just a farmer's wave in the fading light [Bridge] Hear that whistle, low and deep Promises I couldn't keep Whispers on the wind blowin' past Some things just ain't meant to last Feel the rumble, the ground it shakes This old heart, how it aches [Verse] You're tall now, almost to my chest Put my love to the test City lights and grandma's care Better than this empty air Try to smile, but my throat is tight Holdin' back the tears with all my might [Pre-Chorus] Got your shoes, your favorite pair Laces loose, hangin' in the air I kneel down, my knees are sore Tie 'em tight, like never before [Chorus] Sun beats down on the platform wood Dust devils dance where the train once stood Got my girl, my Lily, headed into town This old ranch is finally goin' down Old leather case and a harmonica bright Just a farmer's wave in the fading light [Hook] Then you reach out, small hand so bold A little story to be told Push that tin harp in my palm Keep you safe and keep you calm Yeah, you push that tin harp in my palm Keep you safe and keep you calm [Outro]
