It's Country

If anyone knows anything about me, they know I listen to mainly country music. Recently I've been listening to Sugarland a lot. Ok, call me a dork if you want, but I can relate to one song more than others. The name of the song is 'Stand Back Up'. This seems to be the story of my life. I get shot down, but I always end up back on my feet. My vicious cycle of life. The reality of my job in Branson ending is getting closer, just 3 weeks away. (yeah, it's on my mind ALL th time).

Here are the lyrics to the song:

Stand Back Up by Sugarland


Go ahead and take your best shot
Let her rip, give it all you’ve got
I’m laid out on the floor, But I’ve been here before
Yeah, I may stumble yeah, I might fall
I’m only human, but aren’t we all
I might loose my way, But hear me when I say

I will stand back up
You’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

I’ve been beaten up and bruised, yeah
And I’ve been kicked right off my shoes
Been down on my knees, more times than you’d believe

And when the darkness tries to get me,
There’s a light that just won’t let me
It might take my pride and tears may fill my eyes

But I’ll stand back up
I’ve weather all these storms but I just turn them into wind so I can fly
If what don’t kill ya makes you stronger,
when I take my last breath, that’s when I’ll just give up

So go ahead and take your best shot
Let her rip, give it all you’ve got
You might win this round
But you can’t keep me down
Cuz I’ll stand back up


And you’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

And you’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

I hope you have the opportunity to hear this, you will be touched by this song.

Enjoy your day!
