Rust Songtext
von Lynn Miles

Every line in your face is a road you′ve been down
It's a freight train you hopped or a night in a strange town
It′s a joke that you told, it's a tear that rolled on
A sad story you heard or a lover who's gone

And the scars on your hands, it′s the hard work that you′ve done
It's the skin that you′ve touched, all the wars that you've won
It′s the baby you cradled, it's the letters you wrote
It′s that time you held on, it's that time you let go


And the footprints you leave, are perfect and deep
And your soul is a place that is tough and it's sweet
And the shadow you cast is straight and it′s true
But the lines and the scars are what I love about you

And the rust in your voice, that′s the dust and the rain
It's the choices defended again and again and again
It′s the life that you live, it's the friends come and gone
It′s the highways, the truck stops, and the cold steel dawn

And the footprints you leave, they are perfect and deep
And your soul is a place that is tough but it's sweet
And the shadow you cast is straight and it′s true
But the lines and the scars and the rust
That's what I love about you
