STEEL GUITAR AND IRON VEINS (OUTLAW COUNTRY) - Levi Stoker
Shadows long across the gravel road
Carrying the weight of a heavy load
You packed your bags and you drove away
Leaving me alone in the fading day
I felt the cold wind cutting through the pines
Reading all the damage in the highway lines
I felt like dying when you left me there
Choking on the dust of a broken prayer
My blood pumps hot through a wounded chest
And a broken heart learns to do its best
Now I got steel guitar and iron veins
Moving steady through the heavy rains
Whatever you took I don't need it to feel
My spirit's forged in a cold hard steel
Yeah steel guitar and iron veins
Coffee steaming in an iron pot
Thinking about the quiet that the morning brought
The red clay dirt underneath my boots
Heartache digging down to find my roots
I ain't bitter and I ain't mad
Just counting up the life that I almost had
Now I got steel guitar and iron veins
Moving steady through the heavy rains
Whatever you took I don't need it to feel
My spirit's forged in a cold hard steel
Yeah steel guitar and iron veins
Let the storm roll in let the lightning strike
I know who I am and I know what I like
You can break a promise you can bend a frame
But you can't erase a survivor's name
Now I got steel guitar and iron veins
Moving steady through the heavy rains
Whatever you took I don't need it to feel
My spirit's forged in a cold hard steel
Yeah steel guitar and iron veins
Iron veins
Yeah steady through the rains
Steel guitar
Laying through the pain
Steel guitar
Laying through the pain
