Barbed Wire Blues

Barbed Wire Blues

[Verse 1]
Barbed wire got an attitude
Snapped at me like it’s got a feud
Brand new pants, didn’t stand a chance
Ripped by fate in a farming dance

I said “Really? Now? Of all the days?”
Shook my head in a thousand ways
Stupid wire, stupid luck
Welcome to the daily muck

[Chorus]
But I’m still walking, step by step
Laughing when I’ve got nothing left
Yeah I’m tired, yeah I’m sore
But I’ve crossed worse fields than this before

[Verse 2]
Another furrow, another climb
Boots full of dust, heart behind time
Once I ran with fire and flair
Now it’s grit and stubborn prayer

Every fence says “not this way”
Every plan learns how to fray
Still the sky is wide and blue
And the road keeps saying “you do you”

[Chorus]
Yeah I’m still walking, slow but true
With patched-up pants and scuffed-up shoes
Life can tangle, life can bruise
But it doesn’t get to choose

[Bridge]
Hope’s not fast, hope’s not loud
It just won’t bow, won’t back down

[Final Chorus]
Yeah I’m still walking, wire be damned
Heart still beating, here I stand
One more fence, one more sigh
Still got tomorrow in my eye

[Outro]
Barbed wire tried to make me stop
All it did was tear the crop
