[Outlaw Intro]

[Verse 1]
Woke up to thunder rollin’ over them pines
Another gray morning, same ol’ headline
A leaky roof and a busted up plan
But I lace my boots, do what I can

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no sunshine in the rearview today
But the road don’t stop ‘cause skies turn gray

[Chorus]
There’s mud in my coffee, grit in my grin
Storm at my back, but I’m standin’ again
Rain on my shoulders, wind in my face
But I ain’t bowin’ down, I ain’t losin’ this race
Life don’t ask if you’re ready or not
You just ride through the flood with all that you got

[Verse 2]
Bills on the counter, ghosts on my phone
Memories like barbed wire wrapped ‘round my bones
She said forever, then she slipped away
But I still show up, come work or come rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no map for a heart gone south
But I ain’t lettin’ no storm drown me out

[Chorus]
There’s mud in my coffee, grit in my grin
Storm at my back, but I’m standin’ again
Rain on my shoulders, wind in my face
But I ain’t bowin’ down, I ain’t losin’ this race
Life don’t ask if you’re ready or not
You just ride through the flood with all that you got

[Breakdown]

[Bridge]
Yeah, I’ve been broke, I’ve been bent, I’ve been burned
But every hard road taught me what I’ve earned
I ain’t made of sugar, I don’t melt away
I was born to bend but not to break

[Long Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Pickup’s got rust and a tank half full
But I still chase dreams like a red-eyed bull
Ain’t no clear sky gonna make me run
I was carved outta midnight and fired by the sun

[Pre-Chorus — Post-Bridge Version]
So let that thunder crack and that cold wind bite
I’ll be standin’ tall come the morning light

[Final Chorus]
There’s mud in my coffee, truth in my drawl
Thunder in my chest but I still stand tall
Rain on my shoulders, boots in the clay
I keep movin’ on, come whatever may
Life don’t ask if you’re ready or not
You just ride through the flood with all that you got

[Outro]
So pour me another, make it strong and rough
Mud in my coffee, but I’ve had worse stuff
