Always Keep An Edge on Your Knife - Corb Lund

Post by centennialknives »

For all you hosers out there that didn't know, Canadian country band, Corb Lund, in 2007, had an album called "Hair In My Eyes Like a Highland Steer". Third song was "Always Keep an Edge on your Knife". The whole album, in my opinion, is excellent. It's fun, country/trucker type music. I first bought it in 2007 and when I realized AAPK has a music forum, thought I'd share. A quick search here didn't find mention of it.

Also, the song that shares the album name is quite a fun tune as well.

Would love to hear from those of you who have heard it, or those who went out and searched for it/listened after mention here. Some of the lyrics of the song in question:

And always keep an edge on your knife, son
Always keep an edge on your knife
'Cause a good sharp edge
Is a man's best hedge
Against the vague uncertainties of life

Yes, a good sharp edge
Is a man's best hedge
Against the uncertain vagaries of life

But I never could sharpen no knife
Like the one who give the advice
