josh rister - half-painted fences lyrics
(verse 1)
tobacco fields my father worked are now covered in weeds
and the empty coal mines echo the company’s misdeeds
many men and women worked their fingers to the bone
just trying to make it by in a land that they called home
(chorus)
i see half_painted fences as i wander through these hills
the ones who built them never saw them done
every time i see them, lord i swear it gives me chills
cause time is just a thing you can’t outrun
(verse 2)
old buildings are haunted by what they used to be
their faded signs still line these worn_out streets
they were new when i’s a boy, but some hard times just can’t be beat
and it’s hard to make a living living at the mountain’s feet
(chorus)
i see half_painted fences as i wander through these hills
i wonder if we’ll ever see them done
every time i see them, i swear it gives me chills
cause time is just a thing you can’t outrun
(refrain)
one day when my children, they wander through these hills
i hope to see these fences finally done
lord just thinking about it, i swear it gives me chills
i just can’t wait to see how far we’ll come
lord, look how far we’ve come
