Stand in the Storm
This town splits right down the middle
There's rich and poor, black and white
Right down through the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might
This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
Round here you can sure tell the difference
'Tween the rocks and the rolling types
You know I'm gonna stick with you
When the hard times hit
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta (stand) in the storm
Well, nobody likes a white flag quitter
Leaves you there, tucks and runs
Life's comin' and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgun
I ain't out here looking for trouble
I'm no stranger to an uphill fight
You need a hand when it all starts slipping?
You can bet I'm gonna hold on tight
You know I'm gonna stick with you
When the hard times hit
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
What?
What?
Okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So tough, I keep it rough
Won't back down, I laugh at these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep it Trump-tight
Live yours boy, this is my life
I stick my chest out so there's no doubt
I had enough, no trust, win I must
As I stomp through the rain
The pain rushes through my vein
But I still maintain
Nah
Checked out, I'm off duty
Insane like Busey
Now who wanna test we?
Now see I'm the best at it
You just like the rest at it
I'm sick like a meth addict
But ain't no intervention
Just your apprehension
And then your dissension
Shots to your dome
Send you home
Screaming no backbone
'Cause I will show you what a backbone's for, baby
Let's go
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
(Somebody)
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm (somebody)
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody gotta
Somebody gotta, yeah
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Storm's coming
There's rich and poor, black and white
Right down through the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might
This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
Round here you can sure tell the difference
'Tween the rocks and the rolling types
You know I'm gonna stick with you
When the hard times hit
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta (stand) in the storm

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody gotta
Somebody gotta, yeah
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Storm's coming
