Heart Full of Rust

[VERSE 1]
The preacher said I'm forgiven, the judge said I'm free My ex-wife said she's proud of me But none of 'em see me at 3 AM When the demons come knockin' and I gotta fight them This "one day at a time" feels a whole lot like war And I'm so damn tired of keepin' score

[PRE-CHORUS]
Yeah, the man in the mirror, he's a son of a gun He's tryin' to kill me, and he's tryin' to run

[CHORUS]
I'm just a work-in-progress, held together by grace A-half-a-bottle-empty, all-over-the-place Got a list of the wreckage, and a list of my goals And I'm somewhere in the middle of savin' my soul I ain't a good man, but I'm better than I was Just doin' my best with a heart full of rust

[VERSE 2]
My hands still shake when I'm holdin' a glass Of ice-cold water, and I pray it'll pass I burned a lot of bridges that I can't rebuild I got a lot of empty acres that I gotta get tilled The bar down the street still knows my name It's a daily damn battle to go the other way

[PRE-CHORUS]
Yeah, the man in the mirror, he's a son of a gun He's tired of fightin', and he's tryin' to run

[CHORUS]
I'm just a work-in-progress, held together by grace A-half-a-bottle-empty, all-over-the-place Got a list of the wreckage, and a list of my goals And I'm somewhere in the middle of savin' my soul I ain't a good man, but I'm better than I was Just doin' my best with a heart full of rust

[BRIDGE]
Some days I'm sober, some days I'm just dry Some days I'm lookin' for a reason why But I woke up this mornin', and that's a start Gotta keep on patchin' this broken heart

[CHORUS]
I'm just a work-in-progress, held together by grace A-half-a-bottle-empty, all-over-the-place Got a list of the wreckage, and a list of my goals And I'm somewhere in the middle of savin' my soul I ain't a good man, but I'm better than I was Just doin' my best with a heart full of rust

[OUTRO]
Yeah, just doin' my best... One day at a time. Amen.
