Cast Iron Skillet - Roger Boggs Music

In the quiet of the morning The church bells softly toll There's a man by the river With secrets in his soul He's seen the highs, the lows Like a river that won't flow Searching for forgiveness But the truth is hard to know Verse 2: She left town with a broken heart And a suitcase full of dreams Trying to outrun the shadows Of her mother's silent screams She walked along the highway With the wind against her face Leaving behind the echoes Of a love she couldn't chase Chorus: Wash your car out in the rain Let the memories stay Like the stains that mark the years In the corners of our days Don't wash the cast iron skillet Where the stories are ingrained In the cracks and in the crevices Where our sorrows and joys remain Verse 3: He stares into the firelight As the embers softly glow Wondering if redemption Is a road he'll ever know He held his dreams like diamonds In the pockets of his coat But the weight of all his burdens Was a heavy, crushing load Verse 4: She found refuge in the city Amidst the hustle and the noise Painting pictures of her future With the dreams she still employs In the silence of the night She found solace in the stars Wondering if she'd find peace Or if she'd always bear these scars Chorus: Wash your car out in the rain Let the memories stay Like the stains that mark the years In the corners of our days Don't wash the cast iron skillet Where the stories are ingrained In the cracks and in the crevices Where our sorrows and joys remain Outro: So let the skillet rest in peace Like the ghosts we leave behind In the heart of every story In the corners of our mind Don't wash the cast iron skillet For it holds our history In the layers of our journey In the depths of memory
