Lefty

Verse 1] He was just eighteen, full of fire and f***t When that old machine took more than just a bite Lost his arm but not his pride Swore he’d live, not just survive Folks said, “Boy, your dreams are done” But he said, “watch me, I’ve just begun” With a heart like his, it’s plain to see You can’t chain down the wild and free [Chorus] He fishes alone at the break of dawn Casts with one hand, reels with his jaw Drives his truck, swings a hammer too Ain’t nothin’ in this world he can’t do He hunts with his teeth, climbs like a man Who’s got the whole world in just one hand He can’t clap no more, but he sure can stand Yeah, he’s still got a strong hand [Verse 2] Turnin’ fifty now, and still goin’ strong He’s the punchline to no one’s song Taught his kids to f***t through pain Stand up tall and never complain They say he’s stubborn, he says he’s tough Life dealt the cards, he called its bluff A two-handed woman might tie his shoes But this man’s got nothing left to prove [Chorus] He fishes alone at the break of dawn Casts with one hand, reels with his jaw Drives his truck, swings a hammer too Ain’t nothin’ in this world he can’t do He hunts with his teeth, climbs like a man Who’s got the whole world in just one hand He can’t clap no more, but he sure can stand Yeah, he’s still got a strong hand [Bridge] Sometimes life don’t go as planned But he’s proof you f***t where you stand He might be short an arm or two But he’s got more guts than most men do [Final Chorus] He fishes alone at the break of dawn Casts with one hand, reels with his jaw Builds his dreams with sweat and grit Never once thought of quittin’ it He hunts with his teeth, climbs like a man Who’s got the whole world in just one hand He can’t clap no more, but he sure can stand Yeah, he’s still got a strong hand [Outro] So raise a glass, let the stories fly To the man who never let his spirit die He lost a limb, but found his brand Yeah, he’s still got a strong hand
