[Verse 1] Two-stop town on County Road Dry red dirt and a pawnshop load She worked nights at the diner door I fixed fences, borrowed more Mama said, “Boy, don’t chase that dream” I just smiled and cleaned that beam She'd bring pie when the rain came down We were broke, but we owned that town [Pre-Chorus] Then the bank called hard in June Black cloud hanging over our roof We were scared, but we held on tight Said, “Baby, we’ll make it right” [Chorus] We got up, we got up (We got up) Hands in the mud, hearts full of luck (Hearts full of luck) That small-town love Kept pulling us through We lost a lot But we never lost you [Verse 2] Truck broke down by the seed store gate Bills stacked up, and it ran late She sold her ring, I sold my tools Still had faith and a house of fools July hit hot like a match to hay We laughed through the storm that tried to stay When the house shook, she grabbed my hand Said, “We’ll build back better than we planned” [Pre-Chorus] And the night felt long that fall But we stood tall through it all When the floor gave way and the money ran dry We learned how to survive [Chorus] We got up, we got up (We got up) Hands in the mud, hearts full of luck (Hearts full of luck) That small-town love Kept pulling us through We lost a lot But we never lost you [Bridge] Now the porch got paint and the screen door squeaks Got our boy in my old work boots and her eyes We still count grace when the day turns mean Still dance in the kitchen by the window screen If life comes hard, let it come on in We know how to start again [Final Chorus] We got up, we got up (We got up) Dust on our boots, but we wouldn’t give up (Wouldn’t give up) That small-town love Turned breaking to gold We lost a lot But we kept our souls We got up, we got up (We got up) Hands in the mud, hearts full of luck (Hearts full of luck) That small-town love Still carries us through We lost a lot But we never lost you
