Edge of the Weather
The creek took the footbridge in April rain I crossed on a plank with a sack of grain Dad’s old coat dragging mud at the hem I kept one match dry and a map with no end The mill shut down, the rent came due I learned what a hard year asks of you I’ve been living on the edge of the weather One boot slipping, one hand on the line But I get up, I get up, pulling it together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through At the county clinic, the clock ran slow My sister held my hand till the fever let go We split one peach by the loading-bay door She said, “We’ve made it through worse than before” Some nights the roof kept time with the rain Some mornings I started again all the same I’ve been living on the edge of the weather One boot slipping, one hand on the line But I get up, I get up, pulling it together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through There’s a scar on the gate where the floodwood struck A name in the ledger beside “paid up” No grand parade, no easy way home Just a key in my pocket and ground of my own I’ve been living on the edge of the weather Both feet planted, both hands on the line And I get up, I get up, stronger together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through Yes, a heart that can carry me through The creek runs low, the fields turn green I keep going, steady and mean

[Куплет 1] The creek took the footbridge in April rain I crossed on a plank with a sack of grain Dad’s old coat dragging mud at the hem I kept one match dry and a map with no end [Предприпев] The mill shut down, the rent came due I learned what a hard year asks of you [Припев] I’ve been living on the edge of the weather One boot slipping, one hand on the line But I get up, I get up, pulling it together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through [Куплет 2] At the county clinic, the clock ran slow My sister held my hand till the fever let go We split one peach by the loading-bay door She said, “We’ve made it through worse than before” [Предприпев] Some nights the roof kept time with the rain Some mornings I started again all the same [Припев] I’ve been living on the edge of the weather One boot slipping, one hand on the line But I get up, I get up, pulling it together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through [Бридж] There’s a scar on the gate where the floodwood struck A name in the ledger beside “paid up” No grand parade, no easy way home Just a key in my pocket and ground of my own [Финальный припев] I’ve been living on the edge of the weather Both feet planted, both hands on the line And I get up, I get up, stronger together With the dirt on my knees and the road still mine If the next mile bites, let it bite a little deeper I’ve got a heart that can carry me through Yes, a heart that can carry me through [Аутро] The creek runs low, the fields turn green I keep going, steady and mean
