Barbed Wire Boys - Claire Lynch[00:00:01]

Well I come from the rural midwest[00:00:04]

It's the land I love more than all the rest[00:00:09]

It's the place I know and understand[00:00:14]

Like a false front building[00:00:19]

Like the back of my hand[00:00:21]

And the men I knew when I was coming up[00:00:23]

Were sober as coffee in a styrofoam cup[00:00:28]

There were Earls and Rays Harlans and Roys[00:00:33]

They were full-grown men[00:00:38]

They were barbed wire boys[00:00:40]

They raised grain and cattle[00:00:45]

On the treeless fields[00:00:47]

Sat at the head of the table[00:00:50]

And prayed before meals[00:00:52]

Prayed an our father and that was enough[00:00:55]

Pray more than that and you couldn't stay tough[00:01:00]

Tough as the busted thumbnails[00:01:04]

On the weathered hands[00:01:07]

They worked the gold plate off their wedding bands[00:01:09]

And they never complained[00:01:14]

No they never made noise[00:01:16]

And they never left home[00:01:19]

These barbed wire boys[00:01:21]

Cause their wildest dreams were all fenced in[00:01:24]

By the weight of family[00:01:29]

By the feeling of sin[00:01:31]

That'll prick your skin at the slightest touch[00:01:34]

If you reach too far if you feel too much[00:01:38]

So their deepest hopes will never were expressed[00:01:43]

And just beat like bird's wings[00:01:48]

In the cage of their chest[00:01:50]

All the restless longings all the secret joys[00:01:53]

That never were set free[00:01:57]

In the barbed wire boys[00:01:59]

And now one by one they're departing this earth[00:02:43]

And it's clear to me now exactly what they're worth[00:02:48]

Oh they were just like atlas holding up the sky[00:02:53]

You never heard him speak[00:02:57]

You never saw him cry[00:03:00]

But where do the tears go[00:03:02]

That you never shed[00:03:05]

Where do the words go[00:03:07]

That you never said[00:03:10]

Well there's a blink of the eye[00:03:12]

There's a catch in the voice[00:03:14]

That is the unsung song[00:03:17]

Of the barbed wire boys[00:03:21]
