Frayed Barn Rope

Lyrics

Verse 1
I tied my day to a nail
And watched it slip
Mud on my boots
Cold on my lip

I got one good lung
And a pocket of pills
A half-read letter
And a pile of bills

Pre-Chorus
I been leaning on
A splintered post
Counting my breaths
Like I lost the most

Chorus
I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
Hold me up, hold me up
I don’t want to let go

I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
If you see me drift
Say my name, don’t let it go

Verse 2
My truck won’t start
But I sit in the seat
Hands on the wheel
Like it still might keep

The fields look wide
But they don’t look kind
Every road I know
Turns back in my mind

Pre-Chorus
I been leaning on
A splintered post
Counting my breaths
Like I lost the most

Chorus
I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
Hold me up, hold me up
I don’t want to let go

I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
If you see me drift
Say my name, don’t let it go

Bridge
If I fall in the dark
Let the dogs all howl
Let the screen door shake
Let the whole town know now

I ain’t asking for gold
I ain’t asking for grace
Just a hand on my back
And a warm old place

Chorus
I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
Hold me up, hold me up
I don’t want to let go

I’m at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
If you see me drift
Say my name, don’t let it go
