Verse 1
Well, hell!
You ain’t the only one that’s got problems
We all got ’em
We all got shit that’s on our mind
Some can’t find love or happiness
Some can’t rub two nickels at the same damn time
Some fight demons in a bottle
Some just fight to see the light
Yeah, everybody’s got a story
They don’t tell on Friday night
Pre-Chorus
So don’t you hang your head like you’re the only one that fell
Chorus
Well, hell!
Life’ll knock you down, ring your bell
Well, hell!
Half the time it don’t go well
We all got hurt we never tell
All got dreams that sometimes fell
So if you’re barely hangin’ on yourself…
Well, hell.
Verse 2
Got a buddy workin’ double shifts
Just to keep the lights turned on
Got a mama cryin’ in the kitchen
Prayin’ her boy comes home
Got a farmer starin’ at the sky
Beggin’ for rain to fall
And a man at the end of the bar
Starin’ holes through the wall
Pre-Chorus
Ain’t nobody livin’ free from some kind of private hell
Chorus
Well, hell!
Life’ll knock you down, ring your bell
Well, hell!
Half the time it don’t go well
We all got hurt we never tell
All got dreams that sometimes fell
So if you’re barely hangin’ on yourself…
Well, hell.
Bridge (Stripped Down)
Maybe that’s just how it goes
We bend but we don’t break
Might lose a hand or two in life
But we don’t lose our faith
Final Chorus (Lift It Up)
Well, hell!
Life’ll knock you down, ring your bell
Well, hell!
Half the time it don’t go well
We all got hurt we never tell
All got dreams that sometimes fell
Yeah, we’re still standin’ here ourselves…
Well, hell.
