Got Back Up Lyrics - Singles - Halfway To Hazard

Was a smoke filled room, was a Friday night 

Talkin to a sweet thing and having me a good time 

Went through that door, big Jim walked in 

Hed been pushing me around since we was kids 

Well, I lowered my hat as he came toward me 

I heard him say, hey you, but never saw him swing 

Well, he knocked me down on that nasty floor 

But something felt different than the times before 

Cause I got back up like my daddy taught 

Lifes gonna hurt you but you brush it off 

Well, now you cant quit, you gotta fight back, son 

When you find yourself on the ground, you gotta get back up 

I worked ten long years in a deep coal mine 

Until the roof caved in and it broke my spine 

They put me in a chair and the doctor said 

"I hate to tell you, son, you aint gonna walk again" 

So I closed my eyes and I prayed to the Lord 

And then a fire ran through me on that moment before 

Well, I got back up like my daddy taught 

Lifes gonna hurt you but you brush it off 

Well, now you cant quit, you gotta fight back, son 

When you find yourself on the ground, you gotta get back up 

When my time comes and they lay me down 

In an old pine box in the cold, cold ground 

I wont rest in peace too long before 

Heaven calls my name and my spirit soars 

And Ill get back up when that trumpet sounds 

Now there aint no grave gonna hold me down 

Ill meet my father when that day comes 

And its all because and its all because I got back up
