Iron

It’s iron he hangs and he loves his work

Drives hours each day

He’s never been hurt

Got a back of steel

Burns on the sleeves of his shirt

He drinks too much

When stuff gets heavy

He can’t think straight

His mind gets hazy

So he stops at a sports bar

Everybody knows he’s a flirt

Now he’s driving to work

His head is split open

From last night’s drinking

Last night’s smoking

He never got home

Now there will be hell to pay

She’ll be yelling

He’ll be screaming

The kid’s will be crying

It’s like a house full of demons

He says to himself

why do people live this way

So she says to uann

he’s the father of my babies

I know you think i’m wrong

I know you think i’m crazy

For sticking around

When he’s drunk all over town

But you don’t see

He can be so sweet

He only gets mean when he gets in his drink

He’s good to the kids it’s just

Sometimes he gets down

So the iron drops bad

Nothing seems to fit

He gets busted on his welds

Wants to just quit

Wants to curl up tight on the cold white ground This is amateur video. I do not monetize or profit in any way from it.  I post it to promote the artist and the live music venues. If the artist or anyone appearing disapproves, PLEASE contact me via Youtube and I will make accommodations.   Tim
