[Verse 1] I came in with scuffed-up shoes Pocket full of rent-day blues Mama said, "Son, keep your lane" Don't let the hard days make you change Blacktop lessons, scraped-up knees Learned how to stand in the cold wind breeze Old pain tried to take my view I kept my face on what is true [Pre-Chorus] If the world gets loud I keep it low, keep it down When the floor falls out I still know where I'm found [Chorus] when life stays true you don't have to be blue when life stays true, I can make it through I don't fold, I don't break I just move with the weight when life stays true you don't have to be blue (blue, blue) [Verse 2] Front porch steps and a chipped-up cup Hard times asked me to give it up But I saw gold in the cracked-up days Saw fresh air in the narrow way Now I walk with a steady grin Even when the dark tries sliding in Truth in my chest, no need to prove Got a clean heart in an ugly mood [Pre-Chorus] If the world gets loud I keep it low, keep it down When the floor falls out I still know where I'm found [Chorus] when life stays true you don't have to be blue when life stays true, I can make it through I don't fold, I don't break I just move with the weight when life stays true you don't have to be blue (blue, blue) [Bridge] Let the rain hit hard I won't trade my name Let the road get rough I'll still play the same One clear step One honest move That old true life Goes right through [Final Chorus] when life stays true you don't have to be blue when life stays true, I can make it through I don't fold, I don't break I just move with the weight when life stays true you don't have to be blue when life stays true you don't have to be blue (blue, blue)
