Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got my old bent rake
Teeth missin’ like my grin
Yard full of trouble
And I’m knee-deep again
Every pile I push together
Wind just laughs
Says “that all?”
I clear one little corner
Whole sky starts to fall
[Chorus]
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Talk to the branches
They don't care at all
I’m chasin’ that clean ground
Like I'm chasin’ my peace of mind
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Guess some work ain’t meant to be done in this life
[Verse 2]
Back starts barkin’
Sweat in my eyes
Neighbor waves from his window
Says “Why even try?”
But I drag one more row
Hear that dry brown crawl
Turn around one second
Fresh blanket over it all
[Chorus]
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Talk to the branches
They don't care at all
I’m chasin’ that clean ground
Like I'm chasin’ my peace of mind
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Guess some work ain’t meant to be done in this life
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s like my worries
I scoop ’em up
Stack ’em high
Soon as I turn my back
They drift back from the sky
So I lean on this handle
Watch the world shed what it don’t need
If the trees keep lettin’ go
Maybe someday I’ll be freed
[Chorus]
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Talk to the branches
They don't care at all
I’m chasin’ that clean ground
Like I'm chasin’ my peace of mind
I rake all day
Leaves still fall
Guess some work ain’t meant to be done in this life

Style
Slow front-porch blues shuffle, brushed snare and upright bass walking lazy under a dry telecaster. Male vocals, worn and smoky, sit close to the mic; call-and-response guitar licks answer the vocal lines. Harmonica leans in on turnarounds, organ pads swell in the last chorus as the groove thickens, then everything drops to voice and guitar for the final tag., blues
