That ol anvil stand
has never even said a word
like a late night smoky eyed conversation
with a damn good listener
and that ol anvil stand
it only knows hard work
passed down three
generations to me
it’s seen a few dirty shirts
everything my daddy ever said
it made me do I guess
that wild boy who had no path
found his way with calloused hands
Every day I spend my time
bendin steel and beatin on iron
breakin my back have broken down by the days end
and every night is a crowded bar
an opening act for an actual star
hopin someday I have my own fans
from years and years
forging who I am
On that ol Anvil Stand
That ol anvil stand
may not look like much
but all the rough edges are kinda like me stories that make you tough
That ol anvil stand
Was all that I had left
With the world closing in when I took two feet right in the middle of my chest
I know I’m why they say
It aint just what you see
all the hats and fancy boots
Don’t make the man that’s underneath
Everyday I spend my time
hankin God I’m makin up rhymes
but I feel it in the morning when I can barely stand
Weekend nights are bright stage lights
easy work for a heart like mine
I’m just a horseshoer who found a couple fans
From miles and miles
Forging this man
On that ol anvil stand
I could be on top of the world
with the perfect life
Feeling like I did everything right
These scared up hands would show the same man
hammering on
That ol anvil stand

Just saw it come through, thanks man!
I’m about to restitch this thing all together.
- I redid the anvil, now just going to drop it in / animate the background elements.
