Back Up Grinnin' Again Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(David Goodman) 

There's a little love left in my heart 

And it's lookin' for a place to go 

It's a strong love, it's a sole survivor 

Of the times I've been laid low 

It's been turned down, cheated upon 

Made a fool of now and then 

But every time a little more loves comes knockin' 

It's back up grinnin' again 

Back up grinnin' again 

Down for the count determined to win 

I've seen enough heartache to break a man 

But I'm back up grinnin' again 

There's a glimmer of hope in your eye 

Shinin' through a rainy day 

Had a good love go bad on you baby 

And it turned your blue eyes gray 

Between us both we've cried enough tears 

To rain for days on end 

But if we get together we could change the weather 

And come up grinnin' again 

Back up grinnin' again 

Down for the count determined to win 

I've seen enough heartache to break a man 

But I'm back up grinnin' again 

There's a little love left in our hearts 

And I bet a dollar tonight 

A whole lotta happy's gonna come our way 

When we turn out the light 

We're a strong love, we're soul survivors 

And we get it right now and then 

So let's make a little more love to be sure 

We get back up grinnin' again
