Lyrics
6 Hands
Genres: Country
Six Hands Genre: Slow, Storytelling Country Vibe: Raw, Vulnerable, Heavy, Redemptive Verse 1 My mama worked three jobs until the midnight oil was gone Our sister left her classroom just to keep my boots on She traded in her youth just to raise her brother right Fighting her own demons in the shadows of the night With a heavy heart and a hand that always held my own She made damn sure that I never felt alone We grew up on the empty side of a broken dollar bill Learning how to survive upon a steep and rocky hill Chorus 1 And I ran straight into the fire, fought a war inside my head Drowned my blessings in the bottle, left a trail of what was dead But when the sky fell total black, and I lost my mind and name Two hands reached through the wreckage, and they pulled me from the flame My mama built the foundation, my sister gave her youth When I was throwing life away, they held me to the truth Verse 2 Joined the ranks, wore the uniform, thought I’d found my way Ten long years, a faithful wife, an eight-year-old at play But the shadows came a-calling, and I drank away my home When the closet emptied out, she left me all alone His mother packed her bags, she couldn't take the heat Left me drowning in the ashes, broken in the street But Mama took the pieces, said, "You're still my boy" She glued me back together when the world tried to destroy Chorus 2 And I ran straight into the fire, fought a war inside my head Drowned my blessings in the bottle, left a trail of what was dead But when the sky fell total black, and I lost my mind and name A mother's hands reached through the wreckage, pulled me from the flame She rebuilt the foundation when I threw my life away She held the line for her boy until the breaking of the day Bridge Then came my vows to a woman made of gold The demons followed close, and the nights got freezing cold No roof above our heads, living like a ghost But she never packed her bags when I needed her the most We walked through the valley, we tasted the dirt She chose to share my shadow, she chose to share my hurt [Guitar Solo - Slow, heavy, building into a crescendo] Verse 3 The bottle's finally empty, the fog is clearing out I'm standing on the pavement, learning what amends are about Knocking on some old doors, trying to fix the broken glass Apologizing to the ghosts living in my past Verse 4 My boy sat beside the telephone through every wasted year An eight-year-old just holding back a million bitter tears I damaged him so deep, left scars that time can't hide While he grew into a man with a heavy heart inside He never gave up hope on a father in the dark Patiently waiting for the day I'd find the spark Gave up his own youth just waiting on my call And he stood right by the gate when I finally broke the wall Chorus 3 And I ran straight into the fire, fought a war inside my head Drowned my blessings in the bottle, left a trail of what was dead But when the sky fell total black, and I lost my mind and name Six hands reached through the wreckage, and they pulled me from the flame My mama built the foundation, my true wife walked the mud My son stood waiting at the gate, they gave me all their blood Outro I ain't fully healed, but I'm standing on my feet Sober in the daylight, walking down a brand new street Look at my left side, look at my right The ones who never left me are still standing in the light But my sister's still praying, she's still fighting in the dark Reaching for my soul, trying to keep alive the spark Yeah, she's still trying to save me... Mama built the foundation True wife walked through the mud And my boy... my boy just kept on hoping Yeah, the storm is finally over... I'm finally coming home.
