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

Ain’t no sunshine in the rearview today

But the road don’t stop ‘cause skies turn gray

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

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

Ain’t no map for a heart gone south

But I ain’t lettin’ no storm drown me out

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

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

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

So let that thunder crack and that cold wind bite

I’ll be standin’ tall come the morning light

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

So pour me another, make it strong and rough

Mud in my coffee, but I’ve had worse stuff
