Lyrics: I wipe the grease off of my hands I watch you sleeping in the dark The bills are piling on the desk The winter leaves a bitter mark I count the lines upon my face I know exactly what they cost I do the work that must be done And never tally what I lost Somebody has to hold the line Somebody has to take the blow So you can dream without a fear And never see the dark I know That’s why I stand For you Mm I wake up long before the sun I put my heavy work boots on My bones are screaming for some rest But all the weakness must be gone I hear the hard times coming down I see the panic in the street I am the wall around this home I stand between you and the storm A promise made out in the dirt A quiet vow to keep you warm I take the hit I take the hurt Somebody has to hold the line Somebody has to take the blow So you can dream without a fear And never see the dark I know That’s why I stand For you Mm That’s why I stand For you Mm #DarkCountry #CountryMusic #Americana #CountryBallad #EmotionalCountry #StorySong #SouthernGothic #OutlawCountry #RealStories #OriginalSong #AIMusic #VirtualArtist #countrysongs
