[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Cracks in my pride
I’d sworn off loving
Just let the hurt ride
Then there you were
On that old front porch swing
Saying my name
Like a soft warm spring
[Chorus]
Mary, your eyes that twinkle like the stars
Find every broken place in this cowboy’s heart
Your smile burns the shadows, brighter than the sun
I start to believe again, I thought I was done
Your gentle voice like a brook in the spring
Washing through the ache and the memories that sting
Piece by piece, girl, I finally see
Mary, you’re mending me
[Verse 2]
I was all fences
Rust and barbed wire
Just dead gray ashes
Of an old campfire
You laughed at my stories
That I halfway told
And somehow your hand
Fit just right in my hold
[Chorus]
Mary, your eyes that twinkle like the stars
Find every broken place in this cowboy’s heart
Your smile burns the shadows, brighter than the sun
I start to believe again, I thought I was done
Your gentle voice like a brook in the spring
Washing through the ache and the memories that sting
Piece by piece, girl, I finally see
Mary, you’re mending me
[Bridge]
Every scar I tried to hide
You trace them slow, you stay right by my side (yeah)
You don’t ask for perfect, you just let me be
And somehow in your arms, I’m finally free
[Chorus]
Mary, your eyes that twinkle like the stars
Hold every shattered part of this cowboy’s heart
Your smile burns the shadows, brighter than the sun
I’m thanking the heavens for what you’ve begun
Your gentle voice like a brook in the spring
Turns this lonesome desert to something that sings
Piece by piece, girl, I finally see
Mary, you’re mending me
(Yeah, piece by piece, you’re mending me)
