song lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got up this morning
Rolled out of bed
With a melody running circles
Through my sleepy head
Thought I'd write it down
But the coffee came first
Funny how the best ideas
Always hit me when it hurts
[Pre-Chorus]
A little heartbreak
A little hope hanging on
That's about all it takes
[Chorus]
Everybody's living a country song
A little right, a little wrong
A lost love, a backroad, a memory hanging on
A few scars from yesterday
A little faith to lead the way
We're all just trying to find where we belong
Yeah, everybody's living
Everybody's giving
Their own verse to sing along
As part of this country music tapestry
Everybody's living a country song
[Verse 2]
My neighbor lost his family farm
After three dry years
Still shows up every Sunday
With a smile through the tears
The waitress down at Miller's
Works two jobs and prays
That her boy gets a better shot
Than she got in these everyday life days
[Pre-Chorus]
A little struggle
A little strength holding on
That's where the music comes from
[Chorus]
Everybody's living a country song
A little right, a little wrong
A lost love, a backroad, a memory hanging on
A few scars from yesterday
A little faith to lead the way
We're all just trying to find where we belong
Yeah, everybody's living
Everybody's giving
Their own verse to sing along
Everyone's woven into this country music narrative
Everybody's living a country song
[Verse 3]
A friend of mine retired early
Thought he'd leave his story there
Then he found a six-string guitar
And a dream still in the air
Turns out life don't end at sixty
Sometimes that's when it begins
Everybody gets a second verse
If they're willing to jump in
[Bridge]
Some write about freedom
Some write about pain
Some thank God for sunshine
Some dance in the rain
But when the truth gets put to music
It don't matter where you're from
We all hear a little bit of ourselves
Inside a country song
[Final Chorus]
Everybody's living a country song
A little right, a little wrong
A lost love, a backroad, a memory hanging on
A few scars from yesterday
A little faith to lead the way
We're all just trying to find where we belong
Yeah, everybody's living
Everybody's giving
Their own verse to sing along
Through reflective songwriting of our lives
Everybody's living a country song
[Outro]
Yeah, if you've loved and lost
And somehow carried on
Then you've been living
A country song
