Knotty Pine

verseWhen things get hard
I grab some wood from the pile
Come back from the shed
And get ready to smile

verseI toss a log
Right into the fire
There's nothing better
As the flames climb higher

pre-chorusHands get rough
But the rhythm runs clean
Little bit of sweat
Little bit of steam
Too much too fast
And you lose your hold
Got a way I like
Basking in the warmth of that glow

chorusFeel it in my bones right now
On my own tonight
Let it burn its way
Burn it all the way

verseStack it up high
Watch the sparks take flight
Long way down
But the fire feels right
Cold night air
Heat rolls out slow
Hands find the heat
In the steady glow

pre-chorusDon’t need much
Just a match and a plan
When the world gets mean
I just do what I can
Takes a little time
But it always comes around

chorusFeel it in my bones right now
On my own tonight
Let it burn its way
Burn it all the way

bridgeSlow it down now
Hear the crack and the pop
Feel it settle and crack
Every little worry
Watch it rise and drop

final chorusLet it take control
On my own tonight
Night turns into gold
Never getting old
