lyrics

I keep hold of the pine
As it moves on past the blade
The only honest living I
Suppose I ever made

It might have been how it ends
A burned out house on the wrong side of town
But I made amends
And everything slowed down

A life it seems of dead end schemes
I'd rather not recall

But like the grass the grows up in the broken concrete
I survived it all

You get used to the sound
It kind of fades away somehow
What goes around still comes around
But at least for now

A hearth contains the fire
Henry is at my side
It ain't my hearts desire
But it's work and it's cut and dried

A life it seems of dead end schemes
I'd rather not recall

But like the grass the grows up in the broken concrete
I survived it all
