Tear the callus that's been on this hand
The wear and tear was never planned
And if you wish to take me in
Give me time to see where I've been
You broke a horse not long ago
Then watched as he joined with the buffalo
The gate was open to the reservoir
Lucky for you, he'd gone too far
There's nothing you can say to a rotten man
Who chose to ride the lightning with the caravan
He'll wander out in a conscious state
And curse the trap for what it creates
You'll often think if there's honesty
And question what wore off the novelty
This blown out tire will need a repair
We'll take it to the shop and pick up a spare
If I come back and you take me in
Give me time to see where I should begin
Forgiveness is a virtue I ignored through the years
But in my heart it's always been right here
