[Verse 1]
He came home with a limp and a broken pride
She was raising two girls on the other side
Single mom, strong hands, tired eyes
She said, “We’ll make it,” and she meant tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
She patched his heart with a front-porch prayer
Found his name in the midnight air
Little by little, day by day
She brought the good man back her way
[Chorus]
She put him back together
(put him back together)
Now he stands forever
(stands forever)
Raised them two girls like his own
Built a house out of flesh and bone
Back on his feet
Back on his feet
[Verse 2]
Now that granddaughter rides shotgun proud
In the shopping aisles, laughing loud
He says, “Get the shoes, get the dress, get more”
Then he carries the bags to the truck door
He guards that house like a locked-up gate
Any storm comes near, it won’t get in late
His wife says, “Honey, I like that ring”
He says, “Baby, you can have anything”
[Pre-Chorus]
She patched his heart with a front-porch prayer
Found his name in the midnight air
Little by little, day by day
She brought the good man back her way
[Chorus]
She put him back together
(put him back together)
Now he stands forever
(stands forever)
Raised them two girls like his own
Built a house out of flesh and bone
Back on his feet
Back on his feet
[Bridge]
He don’t talk tough, but he’ll stand tall
Take the hit before it reaches y’all
Every mile, every meal, every fight
He keeps that family in the light
[Chorus]
She put him back together
(put him back together)
Now he stands forever
(stands forever)
Raised them two girls like his own
Built a house out of flesh and bone
Back on his feet
Back on his feet
