Calloused Hands                  L Dunn ©2019

​Verse
He wakes to the early morning train's bellow and moan
Rumbling through the flats over cross-tied rails
Rubs the sleep from his eyes, gets up and ready
To pound a day's worth of 16 penny nails
Chorus
His calloused hands, steady and strong
Are work hardened, weathered, and rough
Those calloused hands, his family depends on
Provide for the ones he loves
Those calloused hands
Verse
He heads out the door without fail, come rain or shine
Before dawn breaks across the eastern skyline
Turns the sweat of his brow into daily bread
The hand that swings the hammer keeps his family fed
Chorus
Bridge
Some have never known want
Their luck's a given
A life of plenty fills their gilded cup
While there's some that hold
A glass half full of hope
That work is salvation
It will provide
And fill the other half up
Chorus
His calloused hands, steady and strong
Are work hardened, weathered, and rough
Those calloused hands, his family depends on
Provide for the ones he loves
Those calloused hands
Those calloused hands
