Вступление
[Intro] (x2)
[Verse 1]
Was a smoke filled room was a Friday night
Talkin to a sweet thing and havin me a good time
When through that door Big Jim walked in
He'd been pushin me around since we was kids
I lowered my hat as he came toward me
I heard him say, "Hey, you," but never saw him swing
He knocked me down on that nasty foor
But somethin felt different than the times before
[Chorus 1]
Cause I got back up like my daddy taught
Life's gonna hurt ya, but ya brush it off
Naw, you can't quit, ya gotta fight back, son
When you find yourself on the ground
You gotta get back up
[Verse 2]
I worked ten long years in a deep coal mine
Til the roof caved in and it broke my spine
They put me in a chair and the doctor said,
"I hate to tell ya, son, but ya ain't gonna walk again."
So, I closed my eyes, and prayed to The Lord
And then a fire ran through me that moment before
[Chorus 2]
I got back up like my daddy taught
Life's gonna hurt ya, but ya brush it off
Naw, you can't quit, ya gotta fight back, son
When you find yourself on the ground
You gotta get back up
[Solo]
Dm Am G Dm (2x Softly pickin the second time)
[Verse 3]
When my time comes and they lay me down
In an old pine box in the cold, cold ground
I won't rest in peace too long before
Heaven calls my name and my spirit sours
[Chorus 3]
And I'll get back up when that trumpet sounds
Naw, there ain't no grave gonna hold me down
I'll meet my Father when that day comes
And it's all (and it's all) because
And it's all (and it's all) because
I got back up
[Ending]
