[Verse 1] Blue tarp shingles Plywood sign "Open someday" Written half in wine Pickup on cinder blocks Sand in the bed Insurance on hold "Please stay on the line," they said [Chorus] How much did Ian cost? More than the money we lost More than the roof and the truck and the dock More than the cash in a coffee can box Countin’ every nail and tear and cross Still can’t tally How much Ian cost [Verse 2] Mama’s old photo Floated down the hall Daddy’s first hammer Rust on the handle and all Bank man asking "Can you pay this note?" Buddy, you can have the house Just give me back this road [Chorus] [Bridge] Was it the bills? Or the busted levee? Or grandma’s church Leanin’ sideways, heavy? Was it overtime tears On a night-shift shirt? Or little league fields Under tide line dirt? [Chorus]
