Sand From My Hands

Verse 1

I love the earth so much it saves my life

Greasy and bitch as hell

But it's what I do if there's a fight

Right now

Then I haul ass and they wonder why I had the upper hand

But I'd have to pay for a lawyer if I did

And why do I do it no one understands

It's how to survive when you're weak

The most I've ever benched was thirty pounds

At my peak

Pre-Chorus

Little fistful of dirt

Little pinch of the ground

Keeps me safe when they lurch

Keeps me quiet when they're loud

Chorus

And I'm gonna haul ass for a long long time

After dirt hits the face and I run away crying

I got a good plan and yeah it beats them all

Oh oh oh the sand flies from the hands

Oh oh oh when the sand flies into your eyes

From my hand

Verse 2

Now I ain't no fighter I'm a thinker with a bag

I carry pocket rocks and a plan or two

They come at me swinging all big and mad

By the time I throw I'm already through

Sunglasses bubble shaped keep the grit at bay

Tuxedo jacket in the neon glow

Boomhauer's bass line carries me away

And that trashcan drum goes blow by blow

Pre-Chorus

Little fistful of dirt

Little pinch of the ground

Keeps me safe when they lurch

Keeps me quiet when they're loud

Chorus

And I'm gonna haul ass for a long long time

After dirt hits the face and I run away crying

I got a good plan and yeah it beats them all

Oh oh oh the sand flies from the hands

Oh oh oh when the sand flies into your eyes

From my hand

Bridge

Some folks bench their body weight

I bench a bag of garden soil

Winning ain't about the heavy stake

It's about who's left to toil

I know it's not the graceful way

But the ground don't ever judge

It's loyal to the ones who stay

And I stay until I budge

Chorus

And I'm gonna haul ass for a long long time

After dirt hits the face and I run away crying

I got a good plan and yeah it beats them all

Oh oh oh the sand flies from the hands

Oh oh oh when the sand flies into your eyes

From my hand
