Bones Don't Rust

(Album: Bleed Out - 2022)

Never any call for a lone wolf
You have to learn to go with the flow
But they can find a use for a scarecrow
Depending on your stomach for crows

Always gonna need a little muscle
If you prove yourself worthy of trust
Your bones don't rust

Haven't checked a mirror in years
Don't need to know the bad news
There's not gonna be a gold watch
After thirty years of paying your dues

Show up five minutes early as usual
Work on just a couple hours' rest
Your bones don't rust

They stay hard as diamonds
They cut through steel
They still sing when they're hungry
And they ache when they're angry

Listen for the voice of the spirit
Maybe something wrong with your ears
Always on the edge of collapse now
Absolutely nobody cares

But everybody loves a professional
Not a single track in the dust
Your bones don't rust

Your bones don't rust
Your bones don't rust
