Muscadine Bloodline
The Toll
[Verse 1]
It was [? 0:27] on Friday from a forty hour week
I wasn't just gettin' by by the skin of my teeth
Whatever I watch whenever I please
'Til your love was takin' a toll on me

[Chorus]
Tough as a steel brush a-rustin'
A chisel of stone
Hard as a hammer to nail and break to the bone
And the list goes on

[Post-Chorus]
I ain't found an axe that could take on this tree
'Til your love was takin' a toll on me

[Verse 2]
Never could just stop after a long one or two
Liquored up loose lips leave you all black and blue
Stickin' around was no trick up my sleeve
'Til your love was takin' a toll on me

[Chorus]
Tough as a steel brush a-rustin'
A chisel of stone
Hard as a hammer to nail and break to the bone
Hell, thе list goes on
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't found an axe that could take on this tree
'Til your lovе was takin' a toll on me

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Was gettin' good at lonesome, no one by my side
No one to wake up, go to bed with at night
Turns out I didn't have quite everything
'Til your love was takin' a toll on me
I thought the puzzle wasn't missin' no piece
'Til your love was takin' a toll on me
