[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Walked a mile with a heart weighed down,
Sunset shadows on this rusted town.
Cracks in the sidewalk, stumbled twice,
Paid my dues, but the dice roll twice.
A friend got a crown, I got the rain,
Worked my hands raw, still chained to the pain.
They say the scales balance, heaven knows where—
Whisper to the wind, "Life ain fair."
[Chorus]
Life ain fair, but we keep on walking,
Through the thorns where the silence’s talking.
Road’s got curves, but the miles don’t care—
Yeah, we all bleed, life ain fair.
[Verse 2]
Promised gold, got a pocket of rust,
Dreams like dust devils, scatter and bust.
Empty hands clutch at a phantom prize,
Echoes of laughter drowned out by sighs.
Mama prayed loud, Daddy worked stone,
But the clock just laughed, left us all alone.
Graveyard shifts, but the bills still stare—
Another sleepless night, life ain fair.
[Chorus]
Life ain fair, but we keep on walking,
Through the thorns where the silence’s talking.
Road’s got curves, but the miles don’t care—
Yeah, we all bleed, life ain fair.
[Bridge]
Stars don’t shine for the brokenbacked,
Moon don’t weep for the love we’ve lacked.
But I’ll hum a tune to the empty air—
A ragged hymn, "Life ain fair."
[Outro]
