Built to Stand

Songtext

[Intro] Sho nuff, sho nuff I’m standing right here Sho nuff, sho nuff Ain’t carrying your fear [Verse 1] I ain’t worried, sho nuff ain’t bothered Came through the fire with my name unaltered Last I checked, I ain’t hard to find You can look me dead in the eye, I’m doing fine Boots on the porch and dust on the rail I learned my strength where the weak ones fail You brought a storm, I brought solid ground Now tell me which one of us is backing down [Pre-Chorus] God told me about your kind Then He put some steel in mine Piece by piece, He made me strong Now I know exactly where I belong [Chorus] I’m built to stand, built to stand Got both feet planted in this land I ain’t worried, sho nuff ain’t bothered You can’t shake what the good Lord fathered Last I checked, I ain’t hard to find Come on and face me, don’t waste my time Now let’s see what holds you up When the ground gets rough, when the ground gets rough [Verse 2] You talk big from behind that grin But every tall tale has a weak place in I don’t need thunder, I don’t need fame The truth walks quiet but it knows my name I got Sunday grace and a Monday drive A little backroad soul keeping me alive If you’re leaning on pride, better check that frame I’ve seen paper walls go up in flames [Pre-Chorus] God told me about your kind Then He put some steel in mine He fixed me up, made my backbone strong Now I can weather whatever comes along [Chorus] I’m built to stand, built to stand Got both feet planted in this land I ain’t worried, sho nuff ain’t bothered You can’t shake what the good Lord fathered Last I checked, I ain’t hard to find Come on and face me, don’t waste my time Now let’s see what holds you up When the ground gets rough, when the ground gets rough [Bridge] Left foot, right foot, hear that line No loose stone gonna move what’s mine Raise that brass, let the whole town know I bend with the wind but I do not fold What holds you up? What holds you up? When the easy road disappears What holds you up? [Final Chorus] I’m built to stand, built to stand Got both feet planted in this land I ain’t worried, sho nuff ain’t bothered You can’t shake what the good Lord fathered Last I checked, I ain’t hard to find Come on and face me, don’t waste my time Now let’s see what holds you up When the ground gets rough, when the ground gets rough [Outro] Sho nuff, I’m standing Sho nuff, still strong God fixed me up solid And I’ve been built all along
