winnsboro blue - justin hiltner lyrics
[verse 1]
i grew up in fairfield county, just beyond the quarry gate
where my granddad and my father worked their lives away
swinging picks and hammers was all they ever knew
cuttin’ up the granite stone they call winnsboro blue
[verse 2]
as i left behind my childhood i dreamed of better times
when a man could make a livin’ without workin’ in a mine
but i wound up like my daddy, with nothin’ left to do
i followed in his footsteps to cut winnsboro blue
[chorus]
in the dead of night i hear the engines ringin’ in my ears
the poundin’ hammers wake me from my sleep
this quarry is a prison but my sentence ain’t in years
it’s bein’ told there’s nothin’ else for me
when i die they’ll carve my headstone out of this rock too
and knowin’ that will make a man winnsboro blue
[verse 3]
now since they’ve closed the quarry, i’ve watched it all decay
and one by one i’ve watched my friends and family move away
but i guess i’ll never leave here until my life is through
a prisoner of these memories and winnsboro blue
[chorus]
in the dead of night i hear the engines ringin’ in my ears
the poundin’ hammers wake me from my sleep
this quarry is a prison but my sentence ain’t in years
it’s bein’ told there’s nothin’ else for me
when i die they’ll carve my headstone out of this rock too
and knowin’ that will make a man winnsboro blue
when i die they’ll carve my headstone out of this rock too
and knowin’ that will make a man winnsboro blue
