Hands of Time (Letra) – Margo Price
Letras da musica:
When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road
I was fifty-seven dollars from being broke
Kissed my mama and my sisters and I said goodbye
And with my suitcase packed I wiped the tears from my eyes
Times they were tough growing up at home
My daddy lost the farm when I was two years old
Took a job at the prison working second shift
And that’s the last time I let them take what should be his
Cause all I want to do is make a little cash
Cause I worked all the bad jobs bustin’ my ass
I want to buy back the farm
And bring my mama home some wine
And turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
When I hit the city I joined the band
Started singing in the bars and running with the men
But the men they brought me problems
And the drinking caused me grief
I thought I’d found a friend but I only found a thief
Soon I settled down with a married man
We had a couple babies, started living off the land
But my firstborn died and I cried out to God
Is there anybody out there looking down on me at all?
Cause all I want to do is make something last
But I can’t see the future, I can’t change the past
I want to buy back the farm
And bring my mama home some wine
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
Still I keep a’running fast as I can
Trying to make something honest with my own two hands
And I ain’t got the breath to say another bad word
So if I ever said it wrong won’t you forget what you heard
Cause all I want to do is make my own path
Cause I know what I am, I know what I have
I want to buy back the farm
And bring my mama home some wine
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
