Lyrics
Hey... yeah Duct tape, duct tape Uncle Ray's shop, sawdust and burnt coffee Old radio taped to the rafter, still playin' sad songs Lawn chair snapped, he just grinned at me Said "Hand me that roll, boy, nothin' here's gone" Fishin' pole broke, he wrapped it twice Reading glasses in two pieces, wore 'em to church Said "Son, it ain't what don't break that counts It's what you'll stay and fix" Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Silver on the screen door, silver on my heart Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Uncle Ray held the whole dang family together With a roll and a grin Daddy lost his job the year I turned twelve Ray showed up with a ladder and a six-pack of Co-Colas Patched the porch roof, patched Mama's mood Patched my busted knuckles after I swung at Tommy Cole Now I'm grown, got a cracked phone screen Tape across the corner, and I swear I hear him laugh Hey Ray, I'm doin' alright Still ain't throwin' nothin' that I can save Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Silver on the screen door, silver on my heart Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Uncle Ray held the whole dang family together With a roll and a grin Fifty-one years, never bought a new thing Said "New is just old that ain't been loved yet" Now his roll's in my toolbox, half used Every time I tear it, I get a little less upset Yeah, tear it, wrap it, hold it down That's how you love a thing Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Duct tape, duct tape Don't quit, don't quit Silver on the screen door, silver on my heart Uncle Ray, this one's for you Duct tape, don't quit
