Too Proud for a Rescue

Heavy weather (break in the clouds)
Been a long road

Collar turned up to the freezing rain
Every step I take feels like dragging a chain
Plant shut down on a Friday at four
Pink slip taped to the break room door
Pockets are empty, my boots are worn thin
Pawned my old Gibson to cover the rent

I'm looking up at a sky made of lead
Carrying the words I should've said

I'm walking through heavy weather (heavy weather)
Holding all these broken pieces together
I ain't asking for a rescue, I'm too proud
I just need a little break in the clouds

Break in the clouds (break in the clouds)
Break in the clouds (break in the clouds)
Heavy weather

Lost a couple good friends to the bitter wind
One bottle of the strong stuff to quiet my head
Then my daughter texts me, "Daddy, you okay?"
With a picture of a rainbow over Highway 8
I'm tired of the thunder, tired of the gray
But I kept that picture saved anyway

I'm looking up at a sky made of lead
Carrying the words I should've said

I'm walking through heavy weather (heavy weather)
Holding all these broken pieces together
I ain't asking for a rescue, I'm too proud
I just need a little break in the clouds

Break in the clouds (break in the clouds)
Heavy weather

They say pressure turns coal into diamond
Say the hardest winters wash a man clean
Well, I'm holding a pawn slip and a rainbow
Must be the richest man you've seen

I'm walking through heavy weather (heavy weather!)
Holding all these broken pieces together
I ain't asking for a rescue, I'm too proud

I just need a little break in the clouds

Break in the clouds (break in the clouds)
Heavy weather

Yeah, I'm still walking
