Lynn Miles - Rust lyrics

rate me

Every line in your face is a road you've been down

It's a freight train you hopped

It's a night in a strange town

It's a joke that you told, it's a tear that rolled on

a sad story you heard, or a lover who's gone.

It's the scars on your hands

the hard work that you've done

It's the skin that you touched

all the wars that you've won.

It's the baby you cradled, it's the letters you wrote.

It's the time you held on, it's the time you let go.

And the footprints you leave are perfect and deep

And your soul is a place that is tough but it's sweet

And the shadow you cast is straight and it's true

But the lines and the scars are what I love about you.

The rust in your voice, that's the dust and the rain

It's the choices defended again, and again, and again

It's the life that you've led

It's the friends come and gone

It's the highways and the truck stops

And the cold grey dawns

And the footprints you leave, they are perfect and deep.

And your soul is a place that is tough but it's sweet

And the shadow you cast is straight and it's true

But the lines and the scars and the rust are what I love

about you.
