[Verse 1]
Judge said sign right here
My hand shook on the page
Coffee got cold on the table
And the house turned into a cage
Her name still stings my mouth
Like a nail in rusty wire
I walked out with my boots half dead
And my pride all burnt with fire
[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't folded yet
I still got breath in my chest
Every scar on this old road
Says I can outlast the rest
[Chorus]
I'm still standin'
Still standin' tall
Ain't broke in two
Ain't lost at all
I'm still standin'
Through the tear and the grit
If I went down once
I ain't stayin' in it (ain't stayin' in it)
[Verse 2]
Kids call my name on Sunday
Little shoes hit that floor
They run into my arms like rain
Like they done missed me more
I fixed their bikes in the driveway
While the whole town watched and stared
Then they laughed and threw their hands up
Said, "Daddy, we know you cared"
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world can talk all day
Let it chew on what it wants
I got small hands in my pockets
And a heart that still hunts
[Chorus]
I'm still standin'
Still standin' tall
Ain't broke in two
Ain't lost at all
I'm still standin'
Through the tear and the grit
If I went down once
I ain't stayin' in it (ain't stayin' in it)
[Bridge]
One door slammed, another opened
In that red dirt light
I learned love can leave scars
And still not kill the fight
When my babies choose my lap
Over all that bitter noise
I don't need no courthouse crown
I just need my boys
[Final Chorus]
I'm still standin'
Still standin' tall
Ain't broke in two
Ain't lost at all
I'm still standin'
And I mean what I say
My kids came home
And that old hurt backed away
I'm still standin'
Yeah, I got my bit
If I went down once
I ain't stayin' in it (ain't stayin' in it)
