nora jane struthers - grit lyrics
sure is swell to be so smart
helps to open your heart
wise to whittle down your words
weight your time and take your turn
make love to lady luck
keep on rollin’ so you won’t get stuck
all this won’t matter one bit
it you ain’t, if you ain’t got grit
last year, the factory closed down
now it’s the tombstone of this town
half his friends have moved away
he’s not real sure why he stays
water’s poison, the land is tired
grandma’s roses still bloom bright
a weaker man would up and quit
but he won’t, he won’t, he’s got grit
born to a mother bleeding out
raised by a father filled with doubt
wish she could disappear at school
little girls can be so cruel
she never dares to hope
still she holds tight to that rope
’til she’ll find a hand to grip
and she will, she will, she’s got grit
you can pile me high with stones
cut the pride off of my bones
make me dig my very own grave
twist my mind into your slave
break my body and my will
from the rubble, i rebuild
you may force me to submit
but i’ll rise, i’ll rise, i got grit
i got grit
