Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Six days a week since I was fifteen
Out in the fields before the sun
Daddy said work would make me stronger
Now I know just what he meant, son
Every blister earned its purpose
Every scar tells where I've been
And baby when you asked about them
I knew right where I should begin
[Chorus]
These calloused hands have held it all
From fence posts to your wedding ring
These calloused hands won't let you fall
They're rough but they know how to sing
Through every storm and summer rain
Through victories and broken plans
Everything I am
Is written in these calloused hands
[Verse 2]
First time I held you in my arms
Shaking like a autumn leaf
Scared my rough touch might break you
But you grabbed my finger underneath
Never felt so soft and helpless
As the day you made me cry
Looking down at tiny fingers
Wrapped around this working life
[Chorus]
These calloused hands have held it all
From fence posts to your wedding ring
These calloused hands won't let you fall
They're rough but they know how to sing
Through every storm and summer rain
Through victories and broken plans
Everything I am
Is written in these calloused hands
[Bridge]
Mmm, and they'll keep on working
Keep on loving, keep on giving
Till the good Lord calls me home
Ohhh-oh
[Final Chorus]
These calloused hands have held it all
(Have held it all)
From fence posts to your wedding ring
These calloused hands won't let you fall
They're rough but they know how to sing
