Back on the horse

Verse 1]

When you’re caught between a rock and a hard place

And the whole damn world is throwing dirt in your face

When the chips are down and the shit hits the fan

Keep your head up, son — stand like a man

When you’re down on your luck, begging on your knees

Can’t see the forest for the damn trees

Every cloud’s got a silver lining, every dog gets his day

The sun’s coming up whether you’re ready… or you run away

When one door closes, find another way in

Lose your grip? Grip tighter again

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink

So shut your mouth for a second —

And do what you think.

Get back on the horse when it throws you down

Dust off the hurt, plant your boots on the ground

If the road runs dark, keep riding through

The dawn comes hard, but it comes for you

Get back on the horse, don’t let it end

Take the fall, take the reins, and ride again

You might be bruised, but you ain’t beat

Get back on the horse — this is how you’ll find your feet

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch

Don’t burn your bridges — you might need ‘em back

Measure twice, cut once, eyes on the prize

Watch your six and read between the lies

You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around

What don’t kill you leaves a scar, but it keeps your feet on solid ground

Scars are proof you took the hit and stayed

Proof you learned to stand when the whole world gave way

Rome wasn’t built in a day

You can’t eat an elephant in one bite

Sometimes you bite the bullet…

Sometimes you stand up and fight

A watched pot never boils, so quit staring at the clock

A rolling stone gathers no moss — so get off the rock

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, son

You can’t win the race if you never run

The grass ain’t always greener — sometimes it’s a ditch with a prettier lie

Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do tonight

And never bring a butter knife to a gunfight

Keep your powder dry

Keep your eyes on the prize

Shoulder to the wheel, hands on the tiller

If you can’t run — walk

If you can’t walk — crawl

If you can’t crawl —

HELL, ROLL

But whatever you do…

DON’T YOU THROW IN THE TOWEL

When the road gets rough — KEEP ON ROLLING

When the mountain gets high — START CLIMBING

When the river gets wide — START SWIMMING

When the horse throws you — GET BACK ON THE HORSE

When life hands you lemons — SQUEEZE THAT BASTARD DRY

Get back on the horse when it throws you down

Dust off the hurt, plant your boots on the ground

If the road runs dark, keep riding through

The dawn comes hard, but it comes for you

Get back on the horse, don’t let it end

Take the fall, take the reins, and ride again

You might be bruised, but you ain’t beat

finally learned —

A real man don’t prove he’s tough by getting burned.

He gets back on the horse… knowing that respect is earned.
