[Verse 1]
I burned the map out young
Ran red through every sign
Played chicken with tomorrow
Like I had all the time
Got scars on my knuckles
Old ghosts in my shoes
I kept rolling the hard way
What else could I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the mirror says, "slow down"
But my heart says, "one more mile"
I hear that old fear talking
I just bare my teeth and smile
[Chorus]
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I never planned this road
But I know it now
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I outlived my own doubts
And I ain't backing down
[Verse 2]
I'm almost fifty now
With no clean line in sight
No tidy little answer
No house made outta white
I never thought I'd last
Past the age they laid to rest
But here I am, still breathing
With the mess and all the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
My father's gone quiet
My mother's gone to dust
I watched the clock keep moving
While it kept moving us
[Chorus]
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I never planned this road
But I know it now
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I outlived my own doubts
And I ain't backing down
[Bridge]
If I look back too long
I feel the night come near
So I keep one boot forward
And I keep my nerves clear
I wore the edge like armor
Thought that was being free
Now I walk a little slower
But it still walks with me
[Final Chorus]
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I never planned this road
But I know it now
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I outlived my own doubts
And I ain't backing down
Still standing somehow
Still standing somehow
I made it through the wreck
And I'm alive right now
