Weigh What's Left

Verse 1

Flat tire on a borrowed road

My brother left me half a map

Mama taught me how to count the cost

And never ask for nothing back

Pre-Chorus

I carry weight in both my hands

I carry warnings from the past

And when the ledger starts to tilt

Chorus

I'm the reckoner out on the plains

I settle debts nobody claims

No badge no title on my chest

I'm the one who weighs what's left

Blood and bone and borrowed time

I measure yours I measure mine

One ounce of mercy one pound of blame

I'm the one who weighs what's left

Verse 2

Highway humming like a wire

My old man never learned to stay

He signed his name in someone's blood

And walked the long way home that day

Chorus

I'm the reckoner out on the plains

I settle debts nobody claims

No badge no title on my chest

I'm the one who weighs what's left

Blood and bone and borrowed time

I measure yours I measure mine

One ounce of mercy one pound of blame

I'm the one who weighs what's left

Bridge

Three hundred miles to the county line

Three hundred reasons I should turn

But turning never ran in my family

Turning never ran in my family

Chorus

I'm the reckoner out on the plains

I settle debts nobody claims

No badge no title on my chest

I'm the one who weighs what's left

I'm the one who weighs what's left

I'm the one who weighs what's left

Post-Chorus

Weigh it slow

Weigh it slow

Let the hammer go
