Clay Feet Lyrics

Pulled up a chair next to grandpa

He said, "son what's on your mind?"

"This old bent world needs unbending

And I can't seem to survive."

"About this old world, I can't do much,

But here's a piece of advice."

He said, "You can't run away from the wind;

The gates of hell are bound to catch you in the end

Just remember at the end of the day

Every good man's heart and feet

Are made of clay."

Spent his whole life in a fight with the dirt

And in the end it won

Busted knuckles and a broken back

Were his payment in full

To keep from crying now I just laugh

When I think of his words

He said, "You can't run away from the wind;

The gates of hell are bound to catch you in the end

Just remember at the end of the day

Every good man's heart and feet

Are made of clay."

He said, "You can't run away from the wind;

The gates of hell are bound to catch you in the end

Just remember at the end of the day

Every good man's heart and feet

Are made of clay."
