The Fence Still Leans
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
Coffee in a blue tin cup
Sun up on the feed store lot
Boots hit the gravel loud
Before the day gets hot
Daddy in the driveway
Fixing what broke again
Mama on the porch light
Calling us all in
Pre-Chorus
Ain't much here to prove
But we show up anyway
Every bent-back mile
Puts another mile away
Chorus
The fence still leans
But it still stands
Built by these hands
And a little faith
The hard days come
They don't take root
We bend, we bruise
Then we work on through
The fence still leans
But it still stands
Verse 2
Jars of beans on the shelf
Truck with a dent in the door
Little league on dusty fields
Kids running circles through the yard
Grandpa's voice in the shed
Says, "Boy, keep your word"
And every nail I drive today
Still means something on this earth
Pre-Chorus
Ain't much here to prove
But we show up anyway
Every bent-back mile
Puts another mile away
Chorus
The fence still leans
But it still stands
Built by these hands
And a little faith
The hard days come
They don't take root
We bend, we bruise
Then we work on through
The fence still leans
But it still stands
Bridge
When the wind cuts hard
And the money runs thin
We don't fold up
We just dig in
Got a name to hold
Got a home to keep
And a love that lasts
When the road gets steep
Final Chorus
The fence still leans
But it still stands
Built by these hands
And a little faith
The hard days come
They don't take root
We bend, we bruise
Then we work on through
The fence still leans
But it still stands
The fence still leans
But it still stands
