Verse 1
I’m out the door before the day begins
Chasing every chance, doing all I can
Another long drive, another late call
Trying to make sure they never go without
I know I miss moments I can’t get back
Another school night, another photograph
But every mile and every hour I give
Is for the life I want my family to live
Pre-Chorus
And when I’m stretched thin, when I’m running on fumes
She’s the steady heart holding every room
Chorus
She keeps us standing when I’m gone too long
Keeps the lights burning, keeps the whole thing strong
I’m out here working, trying to give them more
She’s holding everything together behind that door
Yeah, I carry the miles, but she carries the days
Takes all the chaos and finds us a way
I may bring it home, but I know the truth
Everything I do
She helps me do
Verse 2
She hears every worry I don’t always hear
Calms every storm when I’m nowhere near
She knows every schedule, every scraped-up knee
And still finds a little bit of strength for me
She never asks for medals, never needs a stage
Just keeps on loving through the hardest days
And I know every sacrifice that I make
Comes with twice the weight she has to take
Pre-Chorus
When I’m chasing tomorrow and missing tonight
She keeps our whole world moving right
Chorus
She keeps us standing when I’m gone too long
Keeps the lights burning, keeps the whole thing strong
I’m out here working, trying to give them more
She’s holding everything together behind that door
Yeah, I carry the miles, but she carries the days
Takes all the chaos and finds us a way
I may bring it home, but I know the truth
Everything I do
She helps me do
Bridge
I’m not out here running from the ones I love
I’m trying to build the life we’ve been dreaming of
But every dream I chase, every promise I keep
Only works because she’s carrying me
She’s the reason the house still feels like home
The reason I know I’m never doing this alone
Final Chorus
She keeps us standing when I’m gone too long
Keeps the kids laughing, keeps the whole thing strong
I’m out here working, trying to give them more
She’s the heartbeat waiting behind that door
Yeah, I carry the miles, but she carries the days
Takes all the pressure and still finds a way
I may bring it home, but I know the truth
Everything I am
She helps me be too
Outro
I carry the road
She carries us through
And everything I do
She helps me do
