Lyrics

My hands don't close like they used to
Fingers bent like old fence wire
The earth takes more than it gives back
And I've been giving all my life
There's blood beneath these broken nails
Dirt that won't wash clean no more
Every scar's a season passed
Every line's a winter worn
These calloused hands
They know the weight of rope and rein
These calloused hands
They've held the horse, the plow, the pain
And when I'm gone
They'll be the only truth I leave
These calloused hands
They're all that's left of me
I've pulled the thorn from horse's hoof
Mended fence in driving rain
Built a life from sun and stone
Watched it crumble just the same
Verse 4
There's a woman used to hold them
Said she loved their roughness true
Now she's holding someone else
And my hands just hold the reins
These calloused hands
They know the weight of rope and rein
These calloused hands
They've held the horse, the plow, the pain
And when I'm gone
They'll be the only truth I leave
These calloused hands
They're all that's left of me
The land don't care about your heart
It only knows your back
Bend until you break, boy
There ain't no going back
My hands don't close like they used to
But they're still holding on
They're still holding on
