Ranch Hand

[Verse 1]
I got a scar on my third knuckle
From stretchin' barbed-wire fence
My fist got me outta more trouble
Than it's ever got me in
Rawhide rope and broncs I've broke
Have left 'em bent and bruised
If you really wanna know a man
His hands always tell the truth

[Chorus]
There's hands that hold more foldin' money than mine ever will
Hands that hold the power to make the world turn or stand still
Some'll lose their grip and let go when it hits the fan
But none of them can hold you like a ranch hand can

[Verse 2]
They start early in the mornin'
Work 'til the night comes creepin'
Come home and light a wood stove fire
And love you all damn evenin'
They'll be your strong and steady
When your heart's on the line
Girl, put your hand in my hand
We'll outlast the hands of time

[Chorus]
There's hands that hold more foldin' money than mine ever will
Hands that hold the power to make the world turn or stand still
Some'll lose their grip and let go when it hits the fan
But none of them can hold you like a ranch hand can

[Chorus]
There's hands that hold more foldin' money than mine ever will
Hands that hold the power to make the world turn or stand still
Some'll lose their grip and let go when it hits the fan
But none of them can hold you like a ranch hand can
None of them'll hold you like a ranch hand can

[Outro]
I got a scar on my third knuckle
From stretchin' barbed-wire fence
And it'll hide underneath the ring
That I'll wear if you say "yes"
