[Laid-Back Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] I've had plans go straight to hell. I've had good days turn to shit. I've spent years getting pissed off At things I couldn't fucking fix. Used to think I had to fight Every battle that I found. These days I save my energy For getting back up off the ground. [Pre-Chorus] Some things bend. Some things break. Some things just get scars. I've been all three At different times... And somehow here we are. [Chorus] PINEY! DEVIL DOG OF THE PINES! Been knocked down enough To know I'll probably be fine. Got a few more scars. Got a few less fucks. Life keeps throwing punches. I keep getting back up. Let the cold wind blow. Let the hard rain come. I've been through worse Than whatever this becomes. Bend these branches. Beat 'em up. WEATHERED AIN'T BROKEN. NOT YET, MOTHERFUCKER. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Core taught me how to carry More than I should probably hold. How to laugh when shit gets sideways. How to function tired and cold. Some lessons were worth keeping. Some I've tried hard to unlearn. Turns out not every fucking bridge Needs somebody there to burn. I've got people counting on me. That's enough to make me move. You don't need to love the road you're on To wear another groove. [Pre-Chorus] Can't fix then. Can't know when. Today already came. So turn the fucking amplifiers up And play the goddamn thing. [Chorus] PINEY! DEVIL DOG OF THE PINES! Been knocked down enough To know I'll probably be fine. Got a few more scars. Got a few less fucks. Life keeps throwing punches. I keep getting back up. Let the cold wind blow. Let the hard rain come. I've been through worse Than whatever this becomes. Bend these branches. Beat 'em up. WEATHERED AIN'T BROKEN. NOT YET, MOTHERFUCKER. [Verse 3] Got an eagle chasing glory. Got a dog who holds the line. Got a squid who beats like thunder And still somehow keeps the time. Got a sea lion with a saxophone Who plays whatever comes. Got a gray dude named Hueman... So obviously nothing's wrong. I never went out looking For a band like this to lead. Hell, half the time I'm wondering Why they listen when I speak. But when the first note hits And every bastard falls in line... I guess some things just find you At exactly the right time. [Bridge] I don't have some grand conclusion. I don't know what happens next. I've learned life doesn't give a shit About the plans you thought were set. So I'll take another sunrise. Take another song to sing. Take another night with these assholes And whatever tomorrow brings. I ain't polished. I ain't new. I ain't who I was back then. But I've still got roots beneath me... And I'll fucking rise again. [Final Chorus] PINEY! DEVIL DOG OF THE PINES! Been knocked down enough To know I'll probably be fine. Got a few more scars. Got a few less fucks. Life keeps throwing punches. I keep getting back up. Let the cold wind blow. Let the hard rain come. I've been through worse Than whatever this becomes. Bend these branches. Strip 'em rough. Leave another scar. IT STILL AIN'T ENOUGH! PINEY! DEVIL DOG OF THE PINES! Still standing. Still laughing. Still wasting everybody's time. I don't know where this road goes. I don't really give a fuck. WEATHERED AIN'T BROKEN. AND I AIN'T DONE YET. [Outro] Can't fix yesterday. Can't control tomorrow. Today already showed up. ... Might as well turn the fucking amp on.
