What Doesn’t Kill You

For all my clock-in, clock-out, nightshift, dog-tired

People working overtime

For all my sun-up, sun-down, take the tractor 'nother round

Prayin' that the grain grows high

When it rains, we make it pour on a bar stool, on a back porch

When it's gone, we gonna get a little more

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright

The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer

A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light

Oh, when life knocks you down

Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller

What doesn't kill you

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

She was a 12 out of 10, she could break a neck walking in

My ride or die, until the end, my little country queen

But when she left, she left a scar and sent me straight into the bar

So you can take it from me

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright

The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer

A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light

Oh, when life knocks you down

Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller

What doesn't kill you

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

Sometimes, the cure for the blues is a bar crowd

Sometimes, the only way through is to throw down

And that's the ice-cold truth, just drink a mile in my boots

I'm the living proof

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright

The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer

A longer buzz keeps you lit like a neon light

Oh, when life knocks you down

Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller

What doesn't kill you

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

Pour 'em up strong, son
