That'll Buff Out

Lyrics

That'll Buff Out
Verse 1
Backed the pickup into a fence post
Didn't even spill my coffee cup
Neighbor hollered, "Boy, that's gonna cost ya!"
I just laughed and shrugged it off
Little dent above the taillight
Mirror hanging by a thread
I've seen worse on Monday mornings...
And it's only Tuesday yet
Pre-Chorus
Life's gonna throw a few curveballs...
Might as well grin.
Chorus
Ah, that'll buff out... Or at least that's what I'll say
No sense crying over scratches That'll still be there today
Every bump Every bruise Makes another story too
Life ain't built for looking perfect...
That'll buff out.
Verse 2
Dropped my hammer off the ladder
Stepped right into a bucket too
Split my favorite pair of blue jeans
Trying something I shouldn't do
Dog ran off with one boot laughing
Rain showed up before the hay
Could've been a whole lot better...
Could've been a whole lot worse today
Chorus
Ah, that'll buff out... That's my favorite line
Funny how tomorrow fixes Half the things that cloud your mind
Every scar Every scrape Ain't the end for goodness' sake
Life's too short to stay upset...
That'll buff out.
Verse 3
Wife just looked across the kitchen
Saw the grease clear to my chin
Said, "What happened now?"
I smiled...
"Well... How much time you got?"
She just shook her head and laughed
Like she's done a thousand times
Poured another cup of coffee...
Said, "You'll survive."
Bridge
Broken boards...
Flat tires...
Burnt burgers...
Fence wire...
Wrong wrench...
Dead phone...
Missed turns...
Long roads...
Funny thing...
None of those...
Ever stopped the sun from rising.
Final Chorus
Ah, that'll buff out... Maybe not the truck
Maybe not the lawn chair Or my little bit of luck
But every hard day fades away A little more with time
And the things we laugh about tomorrow...
Usually started...
Today.
So if life leaves one more scratch...
That'll buff out.

(Band drops to just acoustic guitar.)
"...Probably."
(Big fiddle laughs its way to the finish.)
