Tim McGraw - We Carry On lyrics

He hasn't seen a drop of
Rain for months it seems
Rolling river is nothing but
A trickling stream
The crops are dying in the harsh sunlight
The dust on his tongue is dry
The fatted calf is down to skin and bones
We carry on
Alone in the city and she's only seventeen
The boy left her black and blue
In the street so mean
Just twelve weeks along and she's
Got a life inside
Says she's never ever felt so alone
She walks in the shelter
They say "welcome home"

And we carry on when our lives come undone
We carry on
Cause there's promise in the morning sun
We carry on
As the dark surrenders to the dawn
We were born to overcome we carry on

Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells
The happy endings and the fairy tales
Is the reality of shattered
Lives and broken dreams we carry on
It's the family that grieves for
A lost loved one
It's the soldier who won't leave
Till the job is done
It's the addict trying to
Turn his life around
It's picking yourself off the ground
When you've been knocked down

And we carry on when our lives come undone
We carry on
Cause there's promise in the morning sun
We carry on
As the dark surrenders to the dawn
We were born to overcome

We carry on when our lives come undone
We carry on
Cause there's promise in the morning sun
We carry on
As the dark surrenders to the dawn
We were born to overcome we carry on

He stands in the field
Cooled by the winds of change
She smiles as her baby moves
And it starts to rain
