Muddled along

Sittin’ in the sunshine, cold iced tea

Sweat drippin’ down in the Louisiana heat

Bills on the table, truck runnin’ rough

Life keeps barkin’ but we’re still tough

Back porch creakin’, radio loud

Neighbors all wave from the edge of town

Ain’t got riches, ain’t got fame

Still thankin’ Jesus just the same

Held together with duct tape dreams

Hard work, prayers, and gasoline

We just muddled along, singin’ our songs

Tryin’ to hold this whole thing strong

Barely gettin’ by but we still move on

By the grace of God, we muddled along

Amen to the hard times, amen to the scars

Amen to the nights underneath the stars

World keeps spinnin’, right or wrong

Still muddled along

Kids run wild through the yard out back

Dog on the porch and a rusted-out shack

Storm clouds roll but the sun breaks through

That’s about all you can really do

People talk big, act like they know

But everybody’s fightin’ battles below

We laugh, we cry, we bend, we break

Then wake right up for another day

Ain’t clean, ain’t polished, ain’t picture-perfect

But a faithful heart knows what life is worth

We just muddled along, all year long

Somehow findin’ where we belong

Through the struggle and the hurt and wrong

By the grace of God, we muddled along

Amen… amen…

Still muddled along.
