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
