[Verse 1] Poured the last of the milk this morning Left the cereal on the shelf Kissed my baby on the forehead Said Daddy's going anyway Drove past the gas light blinking To a job that won't pay me back But the line forms at five fifteen And I don't know how to not show up for that [Pre-Chorus] They cut the wire but the light stayed on I showed up, yeah I showed up [Chorus] I'm still here for you Even when you don't see me I'm still here for you Even when the lights go out Forgot my name on the paycheck But I remember why I came I'm still here for you I'm still here [Verse 2] She walked up slow, no bags to scan Just a brown paper sack of food Said my husband used to work this line Forty years, he understood The preacher came at half past noon The veterans brought coffee black And the whole damn neighborhood showed up Just to say we got your back [Pre-Chorus] They cut the wire but the light stayed on We showed up, yeah we showed up [Chorus] I'm still here for you Even when you don't see me I'm still here for you Even when the lights go out Forgot my name on the paycheck But I remember why I came I'm still here for you I'm still here [Bridge] I didn't sign up for the glory I signed up for the gate My daughter packed my lunch this morning A sandwich and a note that read Daddy I believe in you And baby that's enough to keep the faith So bring your bags, bring your tired bones through I'll keep this line from breaking [Final Chorus] I'm still here for you Now I know you see me I'm still here for you And you're here for me now You wrote my name on a paper plate And I remember why I came I'm still here for you [gang vocals] We're still here! [Outro] Still here... We're still here...
