This one has a history. It was the first song I wrote completely with lyrics & music, and after a few versions, I finished it soon after my divorce. This one goes out to my daughter.
Nothing in this house that ain’t broken
The engine light came on again
Can’t see the sink for dishes
Got that feeling I can’t win
Haven’t worked a straight week in four months
And vacation is a foreign word
Birthdays and holidays keep me up at night
Thinking of things I can’t afford
Then you put your little hand in mine
And I know we’re gonna be alright
Come heaven or low water
I will see this thing through
This world won’t get the best of me
‘Cause the best of me is made of you
Come heaven or low water
A broken dam makes a fearful sound
When you’ve got no place to run
I’m glad my feet found solid ground before
Hell gained another lost son
Life’s just a list of lost & founds
And I’m finding more everyday
Might seem a bit hard at times
But we'll have fun along the way
So I kiss your little head at night
And you say we're gonna be alright.
Come heaven or low water
I’ll see this thing through
This ol’ world won’t get the best of me
And the best of me looks a lot like you
Come heaven or low water
I’m far from where I meant to be
And the life I meant for you
But I see the light of better weather
And new dreams to come true
Come heaven or low water
I will see this thing through
This world won’t get the best of me
‘Cause the best of me is made of you
Come heaven or low water
