lyrics

You showed me the knot with a frayed blue rope

By the feed bin at six, on a busted tailgate

Your hands shook slow, but you gave me hope

You said, “Try it again,” then you stood and waited

I tied it too loose, then I tied it too tight

You just rubbed your chin and leaned on the rail

You said, “Take your time, boy, you’ll get it right”

Then you showed me the loop like you’d told that tale

Easy now, easy now

Easy now, easy now

You said it like rain on a tin roof

Easy now, easy now

At the kitchen sink, you taught me to patch

A coffee can hole with a spoon and a nail

You laughed at my mess, then you handed me match

After match after match, till I learned by the trail

I botched every step, but you stayed in the room

With the radio low and your elbows gone numb

You said, “Boy, slow hands can still make it bloom”

Then you passed me the pliers with your thumb on the drum

Easy now, easy now

Easy now, easy now

You said it like rain on a tin roof

Easy now, easy now

Now I catch myself saying your line to the next one

At the old workbench where the wood has gone gray

I still miss your laugh when the job comes undone

And I hear you behind me, “Let it take its own way”

Easy now, easy now

Easy now, easy now

You said it like rain on a tin roof

Easy now, easy now
