Hands of Steel

[Verse] Hands of steel breakin' stone all day Sweat drips down in the ol' dusty way Hard workin' man got nothin' much to say Livin' life in the hard scrabble clay [Verse 2] Sunrise comes and the fightin' never ends Calloused palms and a back that never bends Dreams get lost where the river bends In the fields with my only friends [Chorus] Hard workin' blues runnin' through my veins Every day's a struggle but I can't complain Hands of steel workin' through the pain Livin' this life won't drive me insane [Verse 3] Moonlight shines when the day's work is done Steppin' slow to the beat of the drum Lonely nights and a life on the run Searchin' for peace that will never come [Bridge] Voices whisper in the midnight air Troubled spirit but I don't despair Life ain't easy but I've got love to share Holdin' on with a prayer [Chorus] Hard workin' blues runnin' through my veins Every day's a struggle but I can't complain Hands of steel workin' through the pain Livin' this life won't drive me insane
