Rock bottom raised a man

Verse 1]

I was livin’ off Coors and bad decisions

Sleepin’ in boots, dreamin’ of fixin’

A heart that’d been broke more times than I could count

Pourin’ concrete just to pay the rent

Burnin’ both ends and it still got spent

Thought I’d be stuck in that small-town merry-go-round

⸻

But you walked in like a neon light

Lit me up, girl, changed my life

⸻

Yeah, rock bottom raised a man

Taught me how to stand

When the whiskey wore off and the friends were gone

It was your love that brought me home

I was down to nothin’ but dust and shame

You saw more in me than I could explain

Now I thank God with dirty hands

’Cause rock bottom raised a man

⸻

Used to curse that sky and chase some ghosts

Thought love like yours was for folks with hope

But girl, you showed up like a prayer I never prayed

Now I’m pourin’ footers and plantin’ roots

Workin’ long days just to come home to you

A worn-out dream, finally lookin’ brand new

⸻

You believed when I couldn’t see

Now the mirror shows a man I wanna be

⸻

Yeah, rock bottom raised a man

Taught me how to stand

When the whiskey wore off and the friends were gone

It was your love that brought me home

I was down to nothin’ but dust and shame

You saw more in me than I could explain

Now I thank God with dirty hands

’Cause rock bottom raised a man

⸻

Ain’t no shame in fallin’ flat

If you stand up stronger than you ever had

I ain’t perfect, but I’m proud

That it took fallin’ down to figure it out

⸻

Yeah, rock bottom raised a man

Taught me how to stand

When the whiskey wore off and the friends were gone

It was your love that brought me home

I was down to nothin’ but dust and shame

Now I’m givin’ our boy your last name

And I thank God with calloused hands

Yeah, rock bottom raised a man

⸻

Now I hold you tight, hold the line

And I wouldn’t change one fall of mine
