Ride It Out

The road’s been hard, but it made me tough,
I’ve seen good times, although not enough.
I’ve lost some friends and I’ve kept a few,
Learned who’s real when hard times come through.
When skies turn dark and the storms roll in,
I won’t flinch, and I won't give in.
There ain’t no quit in this soul of mine,
I keep on ridin’ that broken line.

When winds turn cold and the lights go down,
I’ll still be standin’ on solid ground.
The world may shake, but I'll stand tall,
I’ll keep my footin' right through it all.
Spent most my life where I don't belong,
And each mistake helped to make me strong.
Through blood and dust, through fear and doubt,
I’ll hold my ground and ride it out.

I've been shot down more times than most,
Still raised a glass and made a toast,
To the ones who stumbled, even died,
To those who walked when they should’ve tried.
I’ve buried hope and I’ve lost my way,
I woke up broke at the break of day,
But I find strength when the hard winds blow,
‘Cause that's the only way I know.

When others hit their knees to pray,
I won’t back down or run away.
I’ll face the dark, whatever the cost,
‘Cause I’d rather fight 
than admit I’ve lost.
