“Still Standing”
[Intro]
Yeah…
Patti Jo in the house…
Fifty-five years young…
Watch me now!
[Verse 1]
Pregnant at sixteen, baby on the way,
Everybody had opinions, but I did it anyway.
Seventeen, mama, trying hard to survive,
Now I look back proud ’cause I kept us alive.
Three little babies and a heart full of dreams,
Life wasn’t easy, nothing’s ever what it seems.
Worked every job, put my family first,
Took every blessing and survived every curse.
Got knocked down, stood back up,
Filled my own cup when life got rough.
People talked trash, people walked away,
But I’m still here shining brighter every day.
[Chorus]
Hands up high, let the whole world see,
Ain’t nobody gonna write my story but me.
I’ve been through fire, I’ve been through rain,
Turned all my heartbreak into champagne.
Hey!
I’m still standing, watch me rise,
Got a little more wisdom behind these eyes.
From a young mom’s dream to a grandma’s song,
They counted me out but they got it wrong!
[Verse 2]
Eight grandbabies got my heart on lock,
Jazon, Riley, Drake, yeah the whole crew rocks.
Braden, Kennedy, Eevee too,
Osiris and August, grandma loves you.
Some days lonely, some days rough,
Some days wondering if I’ve done enough.
Then I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A woman who fought for her family tree.
No silver spoon, no easy ride,
Just grit and faith and a whole lot of pride.
Every scar tells a story, every tear turned gold,
Now I’m stepping into dreams I was scared to hold.
[Chorus]
Hands up high, let the whole world see,
Ain’t nobody gonna write my story but me.
I’ve been through fire, I’ve been through rain,
Turned all my heartbreak into champagne.
Hey!
I’m still standing, watch me rise,
Got a little more wisdom behind these eyes.
From a young mom’s dream to a grandma’s song,
They counted me out but they got it wrong!
[Bridge]
Now it’s my turn…
Yeah, I’m chasing dreams.
Singing my songs,
Living life on my terms.
No more shrinking,
No more hiding,
This mama bear’s got a future worth riding.
[Final Chorus]
Hands up high, let the whole world see,
Ain’t nobody gonna write my story but me.
Fifty-five years and I’m just getting started,
Still healing, still loving, still kindhearted.
Yeah…
Patti Jo…
Momma Bear…
Still standing.
Still shining.
Still winning. 🎤✨❤️
