[Verse 1]
Sun comin’ up
Same old street
Sixty-two but I’m still on my feet
Started work at seventeen
Earned every scar
Every dream
[Verse 2]
By twenty-four I led the way
Built somethin’ solid
Day by day
Hands in the dust
Heart in the deal
Turnin’ those blueprints into steel
[Chorus]
Still on my feet
Still standin’ tall
Seen good times rise
Watched bad times fall
Every hard year stitched into these seams
I’m a little more worn
But I’m still on my feet
Still carryin’ all my dreams
[Bridge]
Kids all grown
Got lives of their own (oh yeah)
I drive past the shop
See the name in the stone
Smile at the cracks in the road that I know
They held me up as I learned to grow
[Chorus]
Still on my feet
Still standin’ tall
Seen good times rise
Watched bad times fall
Every hard year stitched into these seams
I’m a little more worn
But I’m still on my feet
Still carryin’ all my dreams
Sun comin’ up
Same old street
Sixty-two but I’m still on my feet
Started work at seventeen
Earned every scar
Every dream
[Verse 2]
By twenty-four I led the way
Built somethin’ solid
Day by day
Hands in the dust
Heart in the deal
Turnin’ those blueprints into steel
[Chorus]
Still on my feet
Still standin’ tall
Seen good times rise
Watched bad times fall
Every hard year stitched into these seams
I’m a little more worn
But I’m still on my feet
Still carryin’ all my dreams
[Bridge]
Kids all grown
Got lives of their own (oh yeah)
I drive past the shop
See the name in the stone
Smile at the cracks in the road that I know
They held me up as I learned to grow
[Chorus]
Still on my feet
Still standin’ tall
Seen good times rise
Watched bad times fall
Every hard year stitched into these seams
I’m a little more worn
But I’m still on my feet
Still carryin’ all my dreams
Stijl van muziek
Warm Americana ballad with male vocals, brushed drums, fingerpicked acoustic and mellow pedal steel. Verses stay intimate and close-mic; chorus opens with harmony stacks and a steady train beat. Subtle organ pad swells under the bridge, final chorus drops to vocal-and-guitar then blooms with full band and a singalong tag.
