Tin Roof Rusted

Verse 1

Tin roof

Rusted nails and rain

Hard wind howling like a midnight train

The screen door

Hanging by a thread

Half-empty bottles underneath the bed

Tired

Worn out

Washed away

Chorus

Give me something I can hold

Not the silver or the gold

Just a honest piece of heart

Before we pull it all apart

I am staying

I am staying

I am staying

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Carry me home

Oh oh

Leaving it alone

Verse 2

Muddy boots

Left out on the porch

Burning like a heavy wooden torch

I tried

I failed

I fought through the dirt

But nothing stops the way the memories hurt

Black coffee

Cold cup

Sun coming up

The garden died in July heat

Broken glass on a quiet street

Lost

Broken

Bitter blue

Chorus

Give me something I can hold

Not the silver or the gold

Just a honest piece of heart

Before we pull it all apart

I am staying

I am staying

I am staying

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Carry me home

Oh oh

Leaving it alone

Bridge

Cut the cord

Find the light

Make it right

The wood is splitting at the seams

Waking from the heavy dreams

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Chorus

Give me something I can hold

Not the silver or the gold

Just a honest piece of heart

Before we pull it all apart

I am staying

I am staying

I am staying

Outro

Just a thread

Just a thread

Let it rest

Finally at rest
