Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You kept the coat on the chair by the door
Said
“Be ready
Storms don’t call before they pour”
Coffee on
Up before the sun
You held the line till the work was done
[Chorus]
You were the backbone of the house
Every worry
You stared it down
When the world came crashing in
You stood your ground
You stood your ground
Now we’re learning how to live
In the echo of your sound
Strong as thunder
Soft as prayer
You were the backbone of the house
[Verse 2]
You sat quiet
But the room moved your way
One raised eyebrow had a whole lot to say
You took the first cut
Gave us the best
Called it “just a plate
” hid the ache in your chest
[Chorus]
You were the backbone of the house
Every worry
You stared it down
When the world came crashing in
You stood your ground
You stood your ground
Now we’re learning how to live
In the echo of your sound
Strong as thunder
Soft as prayer
You were the backbone of the house
[Bridge]
Who keeps us steady
Now that you’re gone?
We pass your stories
Like a torch still burning on
If I find that courage
On a hard
Hard day
I’ll hear you saying
“Baby
You’ll find your way” (oh, you’ll find your way)
[Chorus]
You were the backbone of the house
Every worry
You stared it down
When the world came crashing in
You stood your ground
You stood your ground
Now we’re learning how to love
Like you taught us
Out loud
Strong as thunder
Soft as prayer
You were the backbone of the house
