This town splits right down the middle
There's rich and poor, black and white
Right down through the saints and the sinners
And the ones who mightThis world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
Round here you can sure tell the difference
'Tween the rocks and the rolling typesI know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hitSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's forSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta standWell, nobody likes a white flag quitter
Leaves you there, tucks and runs
Life's comin' and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgunI ain't out here looking for trouble
I'm no stranger to an uphill fight
You need a hand when it all starts slipping?
You can bet I'm-a hold on tightYou know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hitSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's forSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the stormWhat?
What?
Okay
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahSo tough, I keep it rough
Won't back down, I laugh at these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep it Trump-tight
Live yours boy, this is my life
I stick my chest out so there's no doubt
I had enough, no trust, win I must
As I stomp through the rain
The pain rushes through my vein
But I still maintain, nah!
Checked out, I'm off duty
Insane like Busey
Now who wants test we?
Now see I'm the best at it
You just like the rest at it
I'm sick like a meth addict
But ain't no intervention
Just your apprehension
And then your dissension
Shots to your dome
Send you home
Screaming no backboneThat's how we show you what a backbone's for, baby
Let's go!Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's forSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
In the lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
Show you what a backbone's forSomebody's gotta stand in the storm (somebody)
Somebody's gotta stand in the stormShow you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone's forSomebody's gotta stand in the storm (somebody)
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm (somebody)
Somebody gotta
Somebody gotta, yeahSomebody's gotta stand in the storm
