Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up mean
Knew the road was steep
Same old voice
Tryin' to let me sleep
Said "cut me slack"
Said "ain't my day"
But the hill out there
Didn't move away
[Pre-Chorus]
No more talk
No more stall
If I don't climb
I don't grow at all
[Chorus]
No excuses now
No excuses now
Take the hit, baby
Stand up anyhow
No excuses now
No excuses now
Mud on my boots
But I'm better now
[Verse 2]
Hands on the wheel
When the rain came hard
Blacktop slick
And the world got scarred
I wanted out
I wanted ease
But easy chains
Don't set you free
[Pre-Chorus]
No more talk
No more stall
If I don't bleed
I don't break through at all
[Chorus]
No excuses now
No excuses now
Take the hit, baby
Stand up anyhow
No excuses now
No excuses now
Mud on my boots
But I'm better now
[Bridge]
I met that wall
I met my name
Half my pride
Looked a lot like shame
Then I pushed back
Yeah, I pushed through
What tried to end me
Made me new
[Final Chorus]
No excuses now
No excuses now
Take the hit, baby
Stand up anyhow
No excuses now
No excuses now
Mud on my boots
But I'm better now
No excuses now
No excuses now
On the other side
I'm better now

Grungy dark country blues with a stomp-clap groove, swung shuffle drums, overdriven baritone guitar, and hollow-body slide riff; verse stays lean with low root notes and deadpan vocal, pre-chorus tightens with handclaps and rising gang shouts, chorus hits harder with ragged doubles and a shouted last line. Pipe-breath harmonica, boot-stomp hits, dusty, wide, and punchy mix., country blues

Prompt
Dark country blues grungy song that is an absolute banger. Song is about not making excuses and facing challenges even when you don’t want to. Because you’re better for it on the other side
