[Verse 1] Life keeps rolling; it don't check if you're ready Throws hard weather, expects you to stand steady I learned respect with my back to the wall Got shoved to the dirt, came up through it all Dignity's costly; I paid in the miles Kept my chin level, hid hurt in a smile You call it a lesson; I call it the toll Every hard landing put iron in my soul [Chorus] Pushed down, I get back up Dust on my coat, still I don't give up Long road, worn boots, torn soles Still walking forward with a heart full of holes You can leave me alone, leave me out in the cold I keep my name and I keep my hold Pushed down, I get back up I get back up [Verse 2] Anger slips in where I lock things away I keep it from you; you don't need that weight You dodge one talk that might open your eyes Run from the truth, let the silence decide She takes each step with nobody near Keeps moving on though the path isn't clear Every boot's split from the roads she has crossed Leather wears thin, but she counts what it cost [Chorus] Pushed down, I get back up Dust on my coat, still I don't give up Long road, worn boots, torn soles Still walking forward with a heart full of holes You can leave me alone, leave me out in the cold I keep my name and I keep my hold Pushed down, I get back up I get back up [Bridge] Don't ask for a hand if you won't take my voice Don't call it a choice when you leave me no choice I carried the weight while you turned from the door I'm done asking why you couldn't do more [Final Chorus] Pushed down, I get back up Dust on my coat, still I don't give up Long road, worn boots, torn soles Still walking forward with a heart full of holes You can leave me alone, leave me out in the cold I keep my name and I keep my hold Pushed down, I get back up I get back up [Outro] Long roads, torn soles Still I get back up
