[Verse 1] Born in the wrong suit Too much month, too little pay Pockets full of train tokens And a nickel dream on the way Mama worked the late shift Dad came home with tired eyes We learned to eat the hard days And laugh before we cried [Pre-Chorus] Still, we kept on moving Through the smoke and rain Every dent in the ceiling Taught me how to say [Chorus] I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) Tough roads made me But I’m here tonight I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) The best is coming I can feel it rise [Verse 2] Cassette tapes in the bucket seat Static on the weekend air Hand-me-down shoes on pavement But we didn’t call it unfair Bad luck came knocking Right when we got a little light Lost a job, lost a friend once Still we held the line [Pre-Chorus] And every fallen season Left a seed behind I was broken, I was bending But I never left my mind [Chorus] I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) Tough roads made me But I’m here tonight I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) The best is coming I can feel it rise [Bridge] I’ve seen the cold side I’ve seen the hard years I’ve seen the floor shake I’ve seen the fear But look at me now Hands up to the sky I made it through And I’m not done yet, no [Final Chorus] I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) Tough roads made me But I’m here tonight I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) The best is coming Watch it arrive I’m still alive (still alive) I’m still alive (still alive) Tough roads made me But I’m here tonight
