Sharp Axes
Harmony in Hard Work
Lyrics
When you've got four months
Reference to a specific time frame of four months.
Before the snow comes down
Anticipation of impending snowfall.
You rise every morning
Commitment to starting each day early.
And head on out
Heading outdoors, likely into nature or a wooded area.
You chop and chop
Engaging in the act of chopping, possibly trees or wood.
'Til they hit the ground
Persisting in the chopping until trees fall.
And echo through the forest
Sound of the falling trees resonating through the forest.
There's nothing like the sound of
Expressing the unique and satisfying nature of the sound.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Highlighting the importance of sharp axes and straight trees.
Some are for burnin' some are for beams
Indicating different uses for the chopped wood.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Reiteration of the significance of sharp axes and straight trees.
Out here it's the simple things
Emphasizing the value of simplicity in this environment.
If I asked any woodsman
Posing a hypothetical question to any skilled woodsmen.
From here to Kalispell
Referencing a specific location (Kalispell) for woodsmen.
I wager every single one
Assuming unanimous agreement among woodsmen.
Would stand up and tell
Stressing the commonality of experiences in this profession.
It's all just a matter of
Describing the challenge of staying warm in the cold.
Trying not to freeze
Highlighting the struggle against freezing temperatures.
Up in the mountains
Indicating the setting as mountainous.
You're gonna need
Implying the necessity for certain tools in the mountains.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Reiterating the importance of sharp axes and straight trees.
Some are for burnin' some are for beams
Exploring different purposes for the chopped wood.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Reemphasizing the value of sharp axes and straight trees.
Out here it's the simple things
Recalling the simplicity of life in this environment.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Repeating the significance of sharp axes and straight trees.
Some are for burnin' some are for beams
Reiterating the varied uses of the chopped wood.
Sharp axes, straight trees
Emphasizing once again the importance of tools and trees.
Out here it's the simple things
Reflecting on the enduring value of simplicity.
Out here it's the simple things
Final emphasis on the appreciation for simple things in this context.
